...HELPS YOU TO KNOW YOUR OWN MIND
- Such conditions as anxiety, depression or phobias can weigh heavily on a person, but they can grow lighter if you can come alive to what’s going on in your mind and body. If you find yourself in distressing states of mind that you can’t overcome, getting to know yourself better can make a big difference.
- That might not seem like much of a solution. Someone labouring under mental distress naturally wishes for relief. But in knowing your own mind, the burdens of anxiety and depression can be given a voice, and they can become more tractable.
- Lifelong afflictions can, in time, be transformed into manageable worries, fears, or sadness that have an understandable cause. An experience that is altogether too much can lose its dominance, and take its place among other feelings, thoughts and bodily sensations. In this way, the inertia and immobility of chronic mental distress can give way to a certain psychological suppleness.
supervision
Supervision of qualified psychotherapists
I am available to provide supervision for registered psychotherapists and counsellors.
Supervision of doctors in training
I offer supervision to doctors in training who are undertaking psychodynamic work as part of their general medical training or in pursuing psychiatric medicine.
Supervision of trainee psychotherapists
I am available to supervise trainee psychotherapists on UKCP-accredited and other courses.
Please note that there is an important exception, for which see below.
Please note: I do not offer supervision to trainees on BPC courses
I am not available as a training supervisor to those pursuing the BPC-accredited courses such as the Tavistock D58, D59 and M1 courses. The reason is that my registration with the BPC is in the psychodynamic rather than the psychoanalytic category which is the requirement for these supervisions.
