Pete Shotton, UKCP Registered Psychotherapist
About me
Due to the current restrictions and safety issues caused by the Covid 19 pandemic I am working online or by phone only until further notice.
I am a qualified counsellor/psychotherapist and for the past 20 years I've worked with men and women who choose counselling to address a wide range of life and relationship issues.
As a counsellor I support people as they explore and come to understand the experiences which have shaped their lives. They may identify underlying influences and negative patterns of behaviour that they wish to change and I help them in doing this.
I am a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst(TSTA) in both the Psychotherapy and Education fields of practice, and a UKCP registered supervisor. I provide individual and group supervision to trainers, supervisors, counsellors and teachers.
I have also previously worked as a Senior Education Officer in a foster caring agency, providing support, advice and training for young people, carers and social workers, and prior to that I led a pastoral and counselling team in a high school.
I am a trainer for psychotherapy and counselling training programmes, local authority professional development programmes and private organisations.
