Duncan Kitchin UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, Supervision Diploma

About me

I have been a professional psychotherapist and counsellor for 26 years, seeing individuals and couples. I also work as a supervisor. Approximately 60% of my clients are professionally qualified counsellors or psychotherapists, trainee counsellors and psychotherapists, or clinical supervisees. 

Most of my work is about relationship problems, couple problems, psychosexual problems, behavioural addictions ( love, sex, porn, gambling, eating problems), adult problems flowing from unsatisfactory childhoods and parenting, adoption, anxiety and panic attacks and boarding school education. I also work with problems flowing from affaires and betrayal, bereavement, relational problems resulting from IVF, sexual abuse, low self esteem, depression and stress.

I work long-term and short-term with adults (hetrosexual, gay and bi), men and women, and members of many racial groups. I also offer clinical supervision.

I have been married and am a father and grandfather. Before becoming a psychotherapist I was a university lecturer teaching economics and then about organisations, and spent some time in China teaching, counselling and consulting at the Chinese campus of the University of Nottingham..

In the past I have been an organisational consultant (whilst being a university lecturer). As a result of this, I am interested in working with clients about work related issues.

Having been a yoga teacher in the past, I am interested in working with anxiety and panic attacks, and teaching calmness and stillness and how to manage panic, anxiety, sleeping problems and insomnia.
