Michael Feat ~ Experienced Psychotherapist Counsellor and Supervisor ~ MSc UKCP

About me

I have worked effectively with people over many years to address challenging issues and improve the quality of their lives and their relationships. For some, the process of moving forward can be relatively short and solution focussed. For others, greater complexity means time is needed to fully understand and find a place of solace and clarity.

I seek to empower people towards making a lasting difference and the feedback I receive shows that a combination of experience, professional commitment and new thinking facilitates fundamental change.

My main practice is located within St Katharine’s Retreat Centre, Parmoor, Frieth RG9 6NN, in beautiful grounds with ample free parking 3 miles from Marlow in Bucks.

I completed separate counselling, psychotherapy and supervisor trainings at the Metanoia Institute in London over the course of many years to achieve BA and MSc degrees in those disciplines. Metanoia is widely regarded as one of the most rigorous trainings available. Following qualification I worked for a long time providing individual and group psychotherapy for the Dove Centre in Aylesbury until Bucks closed that centre, I then established a busy private practice in Marlow Bucks. I have been accredited with the UKCP for a number years, and follow a rigorous program of Continuing Professional Development.

I have a special interest in helping people with a range of anxiety issues, and a wide experience in helping people with:

• anger
• abuse issues
• addictions [including inappropriate internet use]
• inappropriate and disordered eating
• personality problems
• depression
• loss and bereavement
• trauma work
• and a personal interest in prostate cancer support

Extensive further training in relational therapy has supported my Couples' work and now forms a significant part of my practice. Further, I remain committed to an ethical pricing structure in line with peer professionals within the UKCP.
