David Wrenn

I am a qualified integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist working with adults who need support with negotiating a range of issues. I have training in Person Centred Counselling, Body Psychotherapy, Attachment-Based therapy, Psychodynamic therapy and CBT and have experience working with clients over a number of years from a range of backgrounds.

I have worked extensively with bereavement and loss, both privately and within the NHS.

My first therapy training was at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. I have an advanced diploma/MA in integrative counselling and psychotherapy from the Minster Centre in London, one of the UK's leading training institutions for contemporary integrative practice.

I work collaboratively to help you gain insight and awareness into what might be the blocks to living life how you would like to, and help identify your own resources for growth and greater connection with yourself and others.

My approach to therapy is relational. I view the relationship between therapist and client as a vital aid to growth and self-discovery, so that we may work together to uncover your innate resources and notice where there might be blocks to building healthy relationships, to yourself and others.

I honour and celebrate difference and diversity in background, culture, spirituality and sexuality, and strive to create a space where you feel open to explore parts of self that have been hidden, and perhaps feel unacceptable.

I have a keen interest in the healing potential that comes with growing plants and spending time in nature, and I’m acutely aware of our shared ecological crisis and the affect it has on all of us, consciously and unconsciously.

Getting Started

I recommend starting with an exploratory session so that we can talk about what you'd like to get from therapy. If we're both happy to continue we can arrange further sessions.

I usually work and in an open ended way, though sometimes a shorter period of counselling is appropriate. We can consider this option if a more solution-based approach is needed instead of a longer exploration of deep-seated issues.

I have a number low cost spaces subject to availability.
