Georgina Green CBT Therapist, MA, Dip Met, BABCP and BACP accredited
About me
I am an experienced practitioner and accredited CBT Psychotherapist, trained at Sussex University, completing a post graduate accredited course in CBT for Complex Difficulties, involving placements in primary and secondary care in the NHS. I currently work part time in the NHS as a CBT Psychotherapist in primary care.
I am also an accredited Psychotherapist, with a 3 year diploma training in person-centred therapy (PCT) at Metanoia Institute in London.
I am currently a student on the DPsych Doctorate in Psychotherapy by Professional Studies at Metanoia with my research focus on developing an integrated counselling model using PCT and CBT in Kenya
I am accredited with the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies BABCP). I also have a Masters Degree in Counselling Studies, Manchester University. I am Accredited and Registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist since 2011.
As well as working using CBT which is a shorter term way of working than counselling/psychotherapy, involving a more practical approach, I also work in a longer-term ongoing psychotherapy and use schema therapy as well as working in a person-centred way. I have been practising as a counsellor/psychotherapist in UK since 1999 before moving to Africa in 2001 for 14 years where I have had in-depth experiences of working among diverse cultures. This has led me to working compassionately with 'difference' and a deeper understanding of people and the uniqueness that people bring to therapy sessions.
I live in Hadlow Down in East Sussex. This area serves Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield and is not far from Lewis.

Member organisations

Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
