About me
My name is Peter and I'm a psychodynamically-trained humanistic, integrative psychotherapist.
I'm a therapist and a counsellor, and above all I'm a human being who has retrained into this role to offer others that which helped me become aware of the state of my own existence and turn towards a more constructive and balanced emotional path.
All are welcome to come and talk about anything from feeling a little off-balance in one's feelings, all the way up to (but not including) having a clinically diagnosable mental health illness.
Training, qualifications & experience
The foundation of my approach is humanistic, integrated with different elements of evidence-based psychotherapeutic disciplines. A humanistic approach to therapy asserts that all humans are unique, with potential for continued growth in love, fulfilment, self-worth and autonomy. How we have experienced the world so far, our past relationships and our childhood, all shape how we interpret the world today.
I draw on other approaches that have been shown to help people break patterns and uncover perspectives that help us to drive change. I use techniques from different “schools” and models such as CBT, Gestalt and short-term psychodynamic therapy. I value the role that psychoeducation plays in therapy – openly sharing models and frameworks with clients rather than perpetuating a sense of mystery around the process.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
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.
