Welcome
A warm welcome to the Wright Counselling and Supervision Service™ website, which is also abbreviated to WCSS™
WCSS is a privately owned and independent company, established in 2017. Its primary purpose is to offer mental-health–related services to individuals and to for-profit and not-for-profit business entities, which include, but are not limited to, education, government, and charities. It holds both contractual and sub‑contractual agreements, mainly for its primary areas of work: clinical therapeutic counselling; clinical counselling supervision; reflective practice (for non‑counselling professionals); and consultancy services. Other related activities it undertakes include any work elements connected to at least one of the primary roles listed above.
Clinical Counselling Supervision
Working aspects are subject to ongoing professional clinical supervision, which WCSS has independently sought to advocate, support, and facilitate for the wellbeing and development of the service and its staff, ensuring a high-quality, authentic, and professional service for current clients and members of the public seeking assistance.
Full Rights to Autonomous Treatment
WCSS reminds individuals of their full autonomy and control to make decisions that are best for them, rather than WCSS assuming any power, leverage, or control over anyone. Clients have full control over their therapeutic work. The counsellor facilitates and prioritises the client's therapeutic journey above all else, and will kindly address any issues or obstacles if the counsellor's professional judgment suggests a client's temporary struggle to self‑guide, so they can steer themselves back onto their chosen course. In this scenario, WCSS incorporates a theoretical approach known as the person‑centred approach, derived from the origins of humanistic psychology.
About the WCSS Owner
My name is Benjamin Wright. I am an accredited Clinical Therapeutic Counsellor and a Clinical Person-Centred Supervisor.
With over 12 years of clinical experience and based in Hucknall, Nottinghamshire, I offer professional and confidential face-to-face and online mental health services. I place great importance on time and the quality of attention—two key values at the heart of my therapeutic practice. Click here for more information about me and my practice
Membership Affiliations
I hold an active individual membership with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). This membership is non‑obligatory for my work but is vital for earning credibility and trust with members of the public and demonstrating proficiency, competency, and merit. I currently hold "Accredited Registrant" status with the NCPS and am in the preparation stages of working towards professional accreditation status. I use "Acc" as part of my post‑nominal letters below my name in formal correspondence such as emails and letters.
The NCPS does not present itself as a governing body for its members and trusts that members are professional enough to carry out their work and approaches without enforcement. Both I and WCSS strongly support and adhere to the NCPS ethical framework and work to follow it across all services offered.
