Anthony Bailey BPC, FPC, BACP
Profile
I am an experienced therapist in private practice in both Cambridge and Central London. I practice as a psychodynamic counsellor which allows us to consider how the past impacts on who we are today, and make changing negative patterns of behaviour hard to make sense of and change. I will work with you to identify and work through issues that arise at home and at work, giving you a place to think through issues away from contentious problems. I work both short and long term, taking into account the particular needs of my individual clients. I work with individuals and with couples.
I work with people with a broad range of issues which at the moment include: anger management, sexual identity, sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, and a wide range of addictions. Many of my clients want to gain a deeper understanding at what's at the root of their problems.
It is important before committing to counselling and psychotherapy to take time to meet with the therapist to feel that you are comfortable together, which is why I encourage a long initial assessment session. This allows you to get a sense of what it's like to be in therapy with me and for me to decide if I am right for you. Sometimes I suggest you see another therapist who I feel may be better able to help.
I work extensively with individuals and the families of individuals effected by addictions, especially alcohol. Please get in touch if you wish to discuss this in confidence.

Further Information
My work with individuals struggling with alcohol has developed in my private practice work. Frequently asked questions include, can I learn to control my drinking the way it used to be? can I come to terms with life without alcohol?
I work too with other issues, including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, stress and many work related issues.
In the current difficult economic conditions, I have developed a particular interest in the emotional impact of redundancy and keep a number of day time spaces available at a reduced fee. If you wish to see if I have current availability, please let me know.
I am planning a series of workshops in both Cambridge and London on this subject, and if you require more information please let me know.
