We are delighted to welcome you to the website of Bespoke Counselling Service, a professional and compassionate counselling practice based in Stafford, Staffordshire. Our mission is to provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and receive the support and guidance you need to overcome any challenges you may be facing.

About Me

I am Edward Giles, the founder and lead counsellor of Bespoke Counselling Service. I was born in England in 1961 and have been working as a counsellor since 2001. I am accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and registered with the United Kingdom Register of Counsellors / Psychotherapists. I have a wealth of experience and training in various therapeutic approaches, including Person Centred Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Intervention Therapy (SFBT), and Transactional Analysis (TA). I am committed to providing a high-quality counselling service that is tailored to your individual needs and preferences.

Counselling

At Bespoke Counselling Service, we believe that counselling is a collaborative process that involves working together to assess your goals, needs, and preferences, and developing a therapeutic approach that is tailored to your unique situation. We provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and receive the support and guidance you need to overcome any challenges you may be facing. Our counselling approach is based on the principles of empathy, respect, and authenticity, and we strive to provide a warm, welcoming, and comfortable environment where you can feel free to be yourself.

We have experience in working with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, bereavement, loss, low self-esteem, and many others. We understand that every person is unique, and we tailor our approach to suit your individual needs and preferences. We work with passion, commitment, and openness, and we are willing to go wherever you need to go, to work through what you have or still are experiencing, however difficult or terrifying that may be, and to hold what you bring to the session/s safely, while we work towards an outcome.
