Grahame Common

Profile

Sometimes it helps to say it out loud. While therapy may not be magic, it can make a huge difference to the way we live our lives. I believe the most effective therapy grows from a strong and safe therapeutic environment. I always strive to develop an unconditional, non judgemental, empathic, accepting relationship where the client can say it aloud.
Alongside my private practise I work for a community counselling service and for HMP and UKBA as a therapist in forensic settings. My consulting room is in the centre of Leamington Spa.

I am a member of BACP and work to their ethical framework.
I have an enhanced CRB clearance.
