ONLINE & TELEPHONE COUNSELLOR BASED IN CHICHESTER, WEST SUSSEX
Thrive at Willow
A confidential space to explore the thoughts, feelings and challenges in your life
About me and my practice
Welcome
I am Tineke Zwinkels, a fully qualified Integrative counsellor, based in Chichester, West Sussex. I will draw on the theories and practices of a range of counselling models, selecting those that best suit you, as I believe in the uniqueness of each person.
Counselling provides a safe and confidential environment for you to talk through your mental health concerns - like anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression - you find difficult to deal with on your own or to discuss with friends and family.
I will listen to you with empathy and without judgment. I will support you as you become aware of how events and concerns impact your emotions, thoughts, choices, and behaviour.
Together we can explore to make sense of your experiences and discover new ways to deal with similar or new experiences. You can develop greater self-understanding and acquire a sense of security, significance, and self-worth to help you in the future.
I provide counselling and supervision via telephone or online (using Zoom) throughout the UK.

WORKING WITH ME
My services are open to all adults (18 years and older), regardless of faith, beliefs, or background.
I offer a free 30-minute initial telephone consultation. This is the opportunity to connect for the first time, to assess your current situation and see how we get on. It is important that you feel comfortable with me, and that I know that I can help you.
I offer counselling on a short- or longer-term basis in a supportive and confidential space.
FEES & AVAILABILITY
Session rates are £50.00. I offer reduced rates (£35.00) to students seeking a counsellor as part of their course requirements.
Each session will last 50 minutes and initially be held weekly.
The session time will be mutually agreed upon at our first meeting. I offer both short- and long-term counselling.
Supervision sessions are available in various durations to suit your individual needs, at a rate of £60 per hour. Concession rates are offered for students to ensure accessibility and support throughout their training.
Fees are to be paid before each session, by bank transfer. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be charged for. If I need to cancel your session, I will offer you an alternative appointment where possible. If we are unable to do this, there will be no charge.
I will be able to answer your emails from Monday to Friday. I do not work in the weekend or bank holidays.
QUALIFICATIONS
I have gained a Diploma of Higher Education in Integrative Counselling from Waverley Abbey College. I also hold a Certificate in Online Counselling.
I have gained the ‘Advanced Certificate in Clinical Supervision – including online and telephone’. For more information, please see my 'Supervision' page.
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their ethical code, ensuring that I always work within your best interests. I attend regular training days to ensure my skills and knowledge are up to date.
Supervision
I offer supervision within my private practice for qualified and trainee counsellors. Currently, I hold supervision sessions via telephone or online (using Zoom).
I principally work with the Seven-Eyed model, using Proctor’s supervision triangle of Normative, Formative, and Restorative approach with Ethics at the centre. However, as in my work as a counsellor, I will use the integrative aspects of supervision to tailor it to each supervisee.
I offer you a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space in which to reflect, develop your skills, and grow as a counsellor.
We will use the time to sensitively explore your skills and practice, and to focus on your clients’ welfare as well as your development as a counsellor.
Supervision will provide you with regular, ongoing opportunities to reflect in depth on all aspects of your practice, enabling you to work as effectively, safely, and ethically as possible. To do this, you, as supervisees, need to feel supported in supervision, challenged, and able to discuss all aspects of your work!
An open and honest relationship between us will help this develop.
