Counselling and Psychotherapy Service
A very warm welcome to you.
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Misunderstood, or stuck trying to navigate life?
Life can feel overwhelming and exceptionally hard at times. It is brave to ask for help when you are struggling, and I would like to be your helping hand. I cannot promise to fix things, however, I can offer a warm, therapeutic, non-judgmental space where you can hear yourself. That alone can be surprisingly powerful.
I am a recommended supplier with Provisions Plus+ and you can find me at Send Connect and Counselling Directory/val-mcfadden

Where Compassion Meets Authenticity
Hello, I'm Val. I am a warm, approachable counsellor based near Coventry (Wolston, Warwickshire) offering in-person, online, phone, email and walk and talk therapy.
I specialise in working with neurodivergent clients, including autistic and ADHD individuals, and those navigating anxiety, identity, self-esteem or life transitions. My clients come to me when they feel overwhelmed or misunderstood, and seek a space where they can simply "be themselves" without judgment.
I am a former Childline and secondary school counsellor, and you can find out more about My Approach here. I am a registered BACP member - Val McFadden Profile and hold an enhanced DBS for Adults and CYP (Children and Young People).
Everyone needs and deserves a helping hand from time to time, and it can take a lot of courage to take that step. I would be privileged to take that step with you.

Choice and flexibility are important aspects of my service, because every client is individual and unique.
I can offer a diverse range of therapeutic options, including a registered therapy dog with Canine Concern, and my experiences prior to becoming a counsellor in the social housing and education sectors, as well as my training as a Childline, School, and Adult Counsellor. You are most welcome to explore my website and socials and reach out when it feels right for you.
