COUNSELLING PROVISION DURING COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS
Please note that, as well as having returned to face to face face sessions, I offer new clients counselling via Zoom. Please call me if you would like to discuss how ‘remote counselling’ might work for you.

I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist working in this field since qualifying in 1987. I am also a counselling supervisor, trainer and mediator offering individual, couple and parent and child counselling, supervision and mediation services at my practice is in Beaconsfield). In addition to my private practice the settings in which I have worked include schools, Further and Higher Education, Feltham Young Offender Institution, Hounslow Youth Counselling Service, ICAS, GP surgeries and Critical Incident De-Briefing for several major companies.

I have 25 years experience as a supervisor and about half my work is individual and group supervision of counsellors and psychotherapists. I facilitate a monthly series of workshops for counsellors and those in the helping professions at Jordans Quaker Conference Centre in Buckinghamshire.

I trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor and although I remain firmly anchored in the way of being and philosophy of the Person-Centred Approach I have broadened and deepened my understanding and beliefs about the human condition through training, reading and personal development which would lead me to describe myself as an Integrative Humanistic Practitioner. I integrate Jungian Developmental Psychology, Focusing, Inner Child, TA, EMDR and Dream and Soul Work in my practice (please see web site for further details) and have a particular interest in working with men around issues of masculinity, 'The Little Boy Within', 'Mid-Life Crisis' and Late Maturity.

Please pay by cash or cheque (made payable to 'Barrie Hopwood') at the end of each session. Subsequent to the first session payments can be made by BACS.

An hour's session is up to 60 minutes rather than the 50 minute  'therapeutic hour'.

I will review the fee annually but will not increase the initial fee agreed within one calendar year of our first appointment.
