About me
I am Joe Cousins Brown, a qualified, experienced BPC counsellor offering therapy in the centre of Bath. I trained at Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy in Frome and have many years of experience as an individual adult counsellor.
Following Freud and Lacan, psychodynamic counselling is a talking therapy where we together try to speak and listen carefully.
Rather than medicalise your distress, this approach seeks to understand why you are saying whatever you are saying, to be attentive to the fact that you are speaking. We can then begin to address those issues which appear constantly, but perhaps inexplicably: things that don’t work, that you cannot help but think or do; troubling relationships; body image; sexual or gender identification.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained with Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I am a member of Wessex CP and the BPC.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) is a professional association, representing the profession of psychoanalytic psychotherapy.
The organisation is itself made up of fourteen member organisations and BPC accredits the trainings of its member organisations. An individual who qualifies from one of these trainings is then eligible for entry into the BPC's register.
BPC registrants are governed by a code of ethics, a policy of continuing professional development, a statement on confidentiality and a complaints procedure. The BPC is a Member Society of the European Federation for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy in the Public Sector (EFPP). Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
