Hello
Hi!
My name is Jody Murphy and I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and an member of the BACP which is a professional body which regulates the counselling profession ensuring you are working with someone with the right level of qualifications and experience.
My Story
I love to tell the story of my first steps into becoming a counsellor. As a fresh faced 18 year old I knew I wanted to help people and counselling seemed to be exactly what I was looking for. Armed with my student card, file, pens and a sense of excitement I sat down in the first class! a few minutes later in what I now see as a compliment the tutor approached me asking my age and informed me that I was too young to be there! My counselling journey was over before it began.
​
In Hindsight I can recognise the silver lining, as I got older and had more experiences some positive and some life changing I can see how my experiences have shaped me to be a much better counsellor now.
I trained as an integrative counsellor as I believe in a more holistic approach looking at the individual and working together, I know now that each person is the expert in their own lives and although I can give a positive input it is the working together that makes the change.
​
I strive to continue to add to my skills and knowledge by continuing with my studies including cognitive behavioural therapy
​
Working as staff in Childline gave me the experience to be solution focused working in short term,
Cruse Bereavement which gave me an in-depth understanding of loss and grief and to recognise the impact and how loss and grief isn't just reserved for death.
My work in the prisons opened my eyes to a new level of understanding and non-judgement that I now share with all my clients.
