Christine Simpson PG Dip MBACP

Profile

Hello and welcome to my profile!  I am an experienced and professional counsellor.

I offer individuals a safe and supportive space to talk about and explore their emotional and behavioural issues or problems; and to find the best solution to move forward and bring about change in their lives.

I aim to work with each client to offer a therapy which is tailor-made to fit my clients needs and wants [integrative counselling.]

I have always been strongly committed to my professional development and continue to attend workshops and training in order to extend my knowledge. I am also in the process of applying for BACP accreditation.

I am a member of BACP and I work within their ethical guidelines. I engage in ongoing supervision with a registered counselling supervisor.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have a postgraduate qualification from university in Integrative Counselling Practice.  Prior to qualifying from university I achieved AQA Certificates in Counselling Skills.

I have worked in a number of different settings.  Alongside developing a private counselling practice, I have worked for three days a week in a GP surgery since 2007.  I have carried the responsibility for their counselling service largely on my own, which means that I have worked with an extremely broad range of clients who have presented with a wide range of issues and problems.
