Welcome to www.individualpsychotherapy.co.uk

I practice one-to-one psychotherapy and counselling in Frome ( Somerset ) helping people address a wide variety of personal issues in a confidential environment. I provide supervision for Counsellors & Psychotherapists and Alternative Practitioners. I also offer a single session dream analysis service.

I have over 18 years experience in this work. My background includes trainings in Integrative-Psychosynthesis (BACP accreditted) and Core-Process Psychotherapy. I have had over twelve years of experience of Analytic Psychology (Jungian analysis) and supervision, and have been active in the Clients Voice movement. I worked for seven years in the Art Therapy Department of a Psychiatric Hospital and have been supervisor to an Inner City Drugs project and the Dementia Care Trust counselling service. I was a member of the Committee of the Bristol Psychotherapy Association. After an extended break, including a move from Bristol to Frome and becoming a father, I now combine this work with family life and the more practical work of renovating local buildings. I am listed on the Counselling Directory website http://www.counselling-directory.org.uk and therefore my qualification and insurance particulars have been independently checked and verified.

A cornerstone of my work is a respect for each person’s individual uniqueness. I offer a warm therapeutic relationship based on a passionate dedication to truth, integrity, equality and openness. It is difficult to describe how our work will proceed because of your individual nature and the circumstances or problem that you bring.

Particular areas of expertise include working with Mid-life crisis (or any other time crisis) along with loss of meaning or sense of purpose in life and depression. I have specific success working with early life trauma - emotional (e.g. adoption, parental bereavement) or physical (e.g. peri-natal trauma or early hospitalisation). Due to my own anarchistic tendencies I have an affinity with those who see themselves as Outsiders, Rebels, Misfits, Down-trodden or the Excluded and can help these people feel more at ease with themselves (if not the World). I find that working with dreams proves to be a useful complement to the work.
