Garden Shed Counselling

Garden Shed Counselling My name is Jackie Brierley, I am a registered BACP accredited counsellor, based in Derby.

No matter what your age, we all need someone who will listen, but sometimes we need someone that not only listens but can help us explore and understand difficulties we may find in our life’s. As an Accredited Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I have extensive experience of working with children, young people and adults across the Derby, Nottingham a

nd surrounding areas who have experienced grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, bullying, trauma, attachment difficulties and self-esteem issues. My work with children and young people uses lots of play and craft activities. I have experienced extensive success in working with anxiety related disorders with children and young people with SEN, particularly ASD, ADHD, selective mutism and those with attachment difficulties. As well as my private practice, I also work as a school counsellor, and have worked in infant and junior schools across Derby. I have also been a school governor at a Derby Secondary School and have a good insight into the difficulties children and young people find in school. I also work with adults and offer a warm welcome and a comfortable, relaxing environment in which to explore what is troubling you at your own pace. As a humanistic integrative counsellor, you set the agenda, I facilitate and help you unravel whatever it is you bring to the session. I may also use ‘tools’ to help you with this such as stones, pictures, drawing.

I always feel a little nervous when a new client starts, especially when they are young. I know the young person I am waiting for loves manatee. I hope he likes the one I crocheted for him. We are both sat here nervously waiting. ☺️

So much fun and mess decorating this wonderful colourful sun catcher. I know what you are thinking, where is the mess?
Over me, that is where the mess is. The black paint was blocked, and I squeezed to hard.
Splat... in my hair, over my arms, over my clothes, over the wall (shhhhhh don't tell Chris Woodworth interiors as he painted my walls over Christmas). It was everywhere except my young client.

New moose alert in the Garden Shed 🫎

However I have a dilemma, on his tag his name is Maple, but I already have a Maple, Maple the Canadian Moose. Do I change the name of one of them or have two Maples? 🤔🤔 Help me decide....please

We love a game of Uno in the Garden Shed, and Uno no mercy, takes it to a different level. I felt excited (and very evil) when my client had to pick up 56 cards 😁😁. So many, they had to lay them on the floor to see what they had. Yes, I had the game in the bag- I was excited, my client was not so happy and begging me not to be so cruel, I was destined to be the Uno no mercy champion 🏆........ and then the impossible began to happen and revenge was in their eyes. I lost!!!! I had almost the whole deck of cards. HOW??????
Lots of fun, lots of laughs, lots of frustration, lots of different feelings felt and explored.
I will win next time.

For mother's day I have treated myself to a new moose, I couldn't help myself, those eyes just looked at me, and I had to have it. It was wrongly labelled as a 'raindeer'' (yes, that is how it was spelt), but it's obvious it is a moose. I have named her Mrs Moose 🫎. She needs a little tlc and will be going to visit Chris at Woodworth interiors (The shed at the bottom of the garden) for a clean and polish before moving into my shed ❤️

It isn't often I get the play doh out, but I felt it was needed. My client arrived overwhelmed and not wanting to talk. They didn't look impressed when I reached for it, as I explained its great for hitting and ripping apart..........or making characters. We had so much fun and laughter as we made these wonderful figures. Yes, it was me that made the one picking it's nose 🫣 🤣🤣

This young client has discovered a skill of designing and making jewellery. Not just threading beads, but using tools and and jewellery 'findings'.
Yes, it can be very frustrating, and often a few inappropriate words are screamed out, but he doesn't give up, and has completed this gorgeous bracelet as well as other beautiful pieces. ❤️

These cute little 'fungi's', were made today by a young adult client, who has discovered that they like making things with air dry clay as we chat. 🍄 🍄
