George Dickinson

Training, qualifications & experience

I have graduated from Brighton University with a postgraduate diploma (PGDip) in Humanistic Counselling and Psychotherapy and am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have worked in national organisations, providing counselling for Cruse Bereavement Care as well as for doctors and nurses in the NHS. Through this and my private practice I have a wide range of experience working with diverse individuals and issues. In addition to working at Palmeira Practice, I run a counselling service for adults and young people under 30. I also work with children’s services for the Brighton & Hove City Council at the front line of safeguarding and welfare concerns for under 18s.

Further information

I am committed to supporting and broadening my understanding of diversity and the issues surrounding it at all times. This is not only a professional endeavor, but one that comes as a person who believes we are all equal and all deserve to be treated with respect and dignity so often denied minority groups. Throughout my practice I have formed strong, trusting relationships with young people through to the elderly, a wide range of ethnicities, different sexualities, genders and income levels. I believe it is important for me to continue to acknowledge my own privilege, and am committed to continue learning and developing my understanding of the discrimination and prejudices that exist within cultures.

I am able to offer both long and short-term options as well as concessions for university students with a valid student ID card and college students in receipt of the 16 to 19 Bursary Fund.
