Profile

Hi Im John. I am a qualified counsellor, and have been counselling people since the year 2000. I believe in a person centred approach to counselling. I aim to provide a safe place for you to explore sensitive life issues. My aim is to accept you as you are, to understand you, and enter into a therapeutic alliance that is real and genuine. I offer person centred focusing and experiential psychotherapy, and am happy to integrate insights from other therapies, such as Gestalt and Transactional Analysis, where this would be helpful to you.

I am a member British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ( MBACP), the Focusing Institute, and the British Focusing Teachers Assiciation,(BFTA). I am also recognised by the Focusing Institute as a Focusing oriented psychotherapist, and Focusing Teacher.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I hold an MA in Focusing and Experiential Psychotherapy,
Diploma in Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy,

Further Information

Men and Counselling.
Many men are reluctant to come into counselling. We often want to solve problems on our own, or fear becoming dependant.
Feedback from one of my male clients, was that he liked Focusing because: 'it really gives me the tools for the job, and helps me deal with problems in the real world, and not just the therapy session'.

If you want to try focusing oriented counselling with me, then you only have to book one session. If you like what you experience, then you can book each session at a time. You do not have to make a long term commitment.

I now offer telephone counselling. More information is available on my web site.
