About

Brian Jones, counsellor

My name is Brian Jones and I am an accredited counsellor, EMDR therapist and clinical supervisor. I am an accredited member of the BACP.

I am passionate about my work and empowering people to make the changes they need to improve their well-being.

As a counsellor I support individuals to develop and grow whilst providing them with a safe, relaxed and confidential space in which they can explore presenting or past issues.

Where I work

I am based in Maghull (L31), on the north side of Liverpool. I see clients face to face in my private, comfortable therapy room, and I also offer remote sessions for people who can’t get to me or who prefer to talk from home.
