I qualified as a psychodynamic counsellor/psychotherapist with WPF in 1999 after 4 years clinical training (which requires you are in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy yourself throughout). I then applied myself to further specific Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Supervision training with Severn & Thames Psychotherapy Network in Bristol. I am delighted to support and encourage my colleagues work and thoroughly enjoy both supervision and therapeutic work. I teach and train in psychotherapy, counselling and supervision as well as practising all of them, both in the NHS and privately. I can offer academic support and mentoring up to Doctorate level.
Real life is what brings people to seek help, support and understanding in counselling, therapy or supervision. Anyone can find themselves at a juncture where they need someone else's objectivity and analysis to move forward and regain their happiness and health. A perspective on this in counselling/psychotherapy is helpful, challenging and surprisingly enjoyable.
