Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Bristol and Bath

Psychotherapy Qualifications

I am a psychotherapist in training at Bath Centre For Psychotherapy and Counselling. The course is accredited by the UKCP and the MA is validated by Middlesex University. It is a long, postgraduate training over many years, combining rigorous academic and experiential learning. The orientation is Humanistic and Integrative and we are encouraged to form our own synthesis as therapists.

I am in the final stage of training, and have submitted my papers for the MA qualification.

Uniquely, I believe, BCPC helps its students set up in private practice as an integral part of the training; I have many thousands of hours of individual client work since setting up in private practice in 2015. In order to work as therapists we need to know ourselves-weekly personal psychotherapy is a requirement; I have been with my own therapist for over fifteen years and have a further three years’ experience of personal therapy in different settings.

As a trainee psychotherapist registered with the UKCP, I adhere to both the UKCP and BCPC Code of Ethics. I receive regular individual and group supervision and have professional indemnity insurance.

Before setting up in private practice I did my student placement at the SWAN Project in Bristol. This charity specialises in a non-twelve step approach to alcohol addiction and substance abuse. I have also worked with clients who have a history of child sexual abuse.

CBT/REBT

My training was with the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, based in London, and I have an Advanced Diploma in CBT/REBT. The course is accredited with the National Counselling Society. I am a student member of both AREBT and BABCP, adhere to their Codes of Ethics and am working towards accreditation with these bodies.

As a CBT/REBT therapist in training I volunteered with Anxiety UK, a national charity, seeing clients on a one-to-one basis within a CBT/REBT framework.

Venue

My Practice is at 13 Orchard Street, BS1 5EH, just off College Green in central Bristol.

The building is an elegant Georgian terrace and I have a quiet, spacious attic room, furnished with comfortable chairs, rugs and plants.

There are ample, nearby transport links; bus stops on College Green and The Centre, serving the compass points of Bristol, and a direct link to Temple Meads railway station. There is metered on-street parking as well as nearby Trenchard Street NCP, and an open air car park behind City Hall.
