Clayton Elliott. Registered Member MBACP (Accred)
Email meAbout me
My counselling style is rooted in the Person-Centred Approach. I start with the belief that, with the right support, we all have the ability to move towards a more fulfilling and satisfying way of being and living our lives.
I am an Registered and Accredited Member of the BACP and adhere to their Ethical Framework. In addition to being a counsellor, I hold a degree in Sociology and Writing and am an experienced Cooperative Development Worker.
Although my core training is in the Person-Centred Approach, I have an keen interest in other approaches, including mindfulness, eco-therapy and existentialism, which may be helpful for some people.
As well as working privately, I have worked with GamCare (Gambling Addiction) and am the Managing Director and Senior Counsellor with the charity 'Counselling for Social Change'. In the past I have volunteered for Addaction (Drug & Alcohol recovery).
Beyond the counselling room, I am a father, musician and writer and have worked and volunteered for environmental and community organisations for most of my adult life.
