Teresa Harkes, Principal Tutor
Welcome
Hello, welcome to North Lakes Counselling and Training.
My name is Teresa Harkes and I am a Person-Centred Counsellor and Trainer in Penrith, Cumbria.
Through North Lakes Counselling and Training I am offering several courses:
CPCAB accredited counselling courses
Non-accredited courses including a variety of mental health issues
Personal Development and Self-Awareness courses
I have worked as a volunteer counsellor for CADAS (Cumbria Alcohol and Drug Advisory Service) and as part of my training I was a student counsellor at Eden Valley Hospice, Carlisle.
I am the volunteer coordinator with LALO (Leave A Light On) Coronavirus Community Support which is providing a befriending and counselling service to those in need of support.
Training
My passion is counselling training and I am excited about the opportunities that North Lakes Counselling and Training can offer in this area. In addition to my Therapeutic Counselling qualification, I hold a Level 4 Certificate in Training and Education from Kendal College and a Certificate in Supervision from Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy.
Counselling
I am also offering a counselling service to include those who are housebound or isolated via home visits or phone. My style of counselling is warm, understanding and down to earth.
I like to help clients explore where they are stuck with an issue or relationship. I believe that we all need an objective point of view in order to see more clearly.
You may prefer a ‘Walk and Talk’ to the usual face to face sessions. Just ask.
