Hi, I’m Olenka, and I’m really pleased to meet you here…
Qualifications
I am a fully qualified integrative counsellor and have also worked in both the corporate and the public sector, which has provided me with a diversity of knowledge and skills.
I work with various EAPs as an Associate Counsellor, including BetterHelp www.betterhelp.com/olenka-hennessey/
I am also a Bupa recognised Counsellor and can be found https://finder.bupa.co.uk/consultant/view/305662
I have worked with children, parents and carers with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). This has greatly supported my counselling skills, enhancing my ability to take the time to listen without judgment, creating a safe space for my clients to accept their experiences as they have experienced them and feel heard and understood.
I am a Young Person’s Counsellor and I have also worked as a School Counsellor at a local secondary school and a Counsellor for a local charity counselling agency.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I fully adhere to the code of ethics, which include confidentiality and respect (unless a safeguarding issue is presented).
I undertake continuous professional development to ensure my skills and knowledge are up to date. Most recently by completing a Mental Health First Aider certificate and both online and telephone counselling training.
