Due to numerous requests, I now work with married couples and partnerships. The four-year psychodynamic training, which was attachment based, is especially appropriate for this type of work. Typically we would be looking at six sessions. But where there might be some deeper underlying issues ~ the work and necessary processes that would be involved ~ might need to be engaged with on a longer term perspective ~ and could be regarded as open ended therapy. For couples and partnerships: fees are currently £60 per 75 minute sessions. with a starting offer at £40 for an introductory session. £15 cancellation fee, if less than 24 hrs notice. Supervision for Psychotherapists ~ see section below entitled: 'FOR OTHER THERAPISTS & ORGANISATIONS' PROBLEMS COVERED I am experienced in helping clients who have difficulties with self assertion, self esteem, knowing who you are, relationships, anxiety states, and such states that might include obsessive compulsive behaviours (OCD), panic attacks, agoraphobia and phobias. I have worked with addictions, loss and depression, stress and trauma (overwhelming experiences that go beyond the realm of stress). I have also worked with borderline personality disorder and dissociative states. As well as this, I am concerned with the various and very important issues of not knowing where one's path is in life and so on ~ which can often have a bearing in relation to some of the symptoms already described. MY APPROACH TO THERAPY FOR BRIEF, SHORT or LONGER TERM APPROACHES TO THERAPY ~ SEE 'ABOUT COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY' (link to this ~ top left of page) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I clearly see myself as operating a pluralistic/multi-perspective approach to psychotherapy and counselling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Although there are many common patterns to be found, I also see each person's problems as relatively unique ~ when taken in the context of their particular personal life experiences and situations. I see therapy as a joint venture in this discovery, and one ultimately of empowering the client to continue this process unaided. The aim of the therapy is to assist the client to make sense of their situation, and to enable them to develop their own strengths and directions. The work can be focused on either understanding the past in depth (which can help one with the present), or focused on present situations and future directions. Often what happens in practice is a combination of all three ~ with the focus depending on the issues concerned. This work can be carried out either as short term or long term work ~ accordingly to how deep one wants to go. This will usually be in relation to one's needs, or in relation to how much one wants to achieve FOR OTHER THERAPISTS & ORGANISATIONS I am a recognized provider with international insurance companies. I provide supervision for therapists-in-training in placements within the NHS etc ~ covering various parts of the country. Supervision and consultations offered for psychotherapists Supervision and consultations provided on Attachment Theory For Supervision Sessions, fees are currently £45 for 50 minutes. The Introductory/first Supervision Session is 75 minutes for £45 £15 cancellation fee, if less than 24 hrs notice APPRECIATION OF THE SPIRITUAL ASPECTS OF LIFE As well as these modern approaches, I can also assist with a contemporary understanding of the 'spiritual aspects of life' that may come up in regard to some of these matters HISTORY of EXPERIENCE & other previous TRAINING COURSES For those of you or other therapists who might be further interested in the background to these matters, my experience in the field began with many years of part-time voluntary work for various charities. In 1984/5 I attended studies in Therapeutic Communities and Social Phenomenology at the Philadelphia Association, London. In 1985 I attended the Integral Therapy Association in London which provided existential group psychotherapy, yoga and meditation practices. Associated with this was an experiential-phenomenological group which I attended in 1985/86. It was run for professionals and various interested others ~ some of whom were well known names and authors very active in those times ~ comprising yoga and meditation teachers, alternative therapists, psychotherapists and innovative psychiatrists. These experiences and insights ~ indirectly led to the co-founding with others in 1986 of a small residential therapeutic community in South West London, which is run on the basic principles of community and democratisation, alongside a more traditional psychoanalytic focus on group dynamic processes. It was then and still is called: 'Asclepion Therapeutic Community'. Asclepion is a registered charity and is a member of the Association of Therapeutic Communities. People go to this community to work in depth on their problems within this residential setting (average stay is six months to two years). I was the project coordinator for the Asclepion Therapeutic Community from 1997-2001. In 1996 I collected a substantial financial award on behalf of Asclepion for its innovation and effective use of finances. The award was kindly presented by the charitable division of 'The Accountants of England and Wales' ~ one member of which (a major figure in international commercial banking) very kindly continued to provide ongoing assistance in accountancy for us ~ completely free of charge. I continue as an individual member of the Association of Therapeutic Communities, UK. In 1990 I started a four-year professional training in psychotherapy. It was based on the rapidly developing ideas of Attachment Theory ~ as applied to developmental psychotherapy. These carefully researched ideas and practices had opened up a whole new panorama in the understandings of human nature, relationships, communities and societies. In 1996 & 1997 I undertook a post-graduate study program in 'Infant Psychiatry and Mental Health', based in London. This included an in-depth study program on the analysis of parent-infant dynamics, and an intitial research program of mine focusing on early developmental problems, that in some cases indicated links to later adult behaviours and symptoms. I later managed to satisfactorily present these associations in a post-graduate research thesis focusing on Attachment Theory issues. The research thesis of my post-graduate MA was thus based on these early mother-infant relations. My concern is one of adopting the considerations and insights for the benefit of the mother and the infant, who are both regarded as being in need of support and care where significant problems are at times encountered. The results of my research were then related to issues within contemporary developmental psychotherapy and its application to Attachment Theory and Relational Therapy. For this, I am concerned with the greater picture of caring support for all concerned in the family, and also in utilsing the intergenerational research from Attachment Theory which is now ongoingly conducted and developed on a world-wide basis. I am planning futher developments for a PHD in this theme. At a later point this year, I will provide on this website further descriptions and also detailed explanations of what Psychotherapy and the Attachment Theory perspective on this ~ is about. This may in fact be provided as a link from this website to another website of mine. I also ran development and discussion groups for the general public for five years in London ~ open to all who wished to attend ~ this included quarterly large festive gatherings (up to 150 attending) for past and present discussion group members, along with their friends and any others who were interested. Alongside the above, I conducted a psychotherapy practice for twelve years in Dartmouth Park, London NW5 (situated on the east side of Hampstead Heath). I have also studied in a wide variety of approaches in counselling and psychotherapy ~ some involving studies and trainings of up to one year duration each ~ ranging through humanistic, existential and cognitive-behavioural approaches (CBT) ~ including self-assertion and anger management courses. Also for many years I have attended trainings in hatha yoga, different styles of meditation and various other Eastern practices. As seen above though, my main interest has been in Attachment Theory, in which I originally studied and trained for four years at 'The Bowlby Centre' in London. RESEARCH INTERESTS ATTACHMENT THEORY currently developing further applications of Attachment Theory and its human face for psychotherapy ANXIETY STATES agoraphobic, phobic, obsessional and panic states DISSOCIATIVE IDENTITY DISORDER clinical work and theoretical perspectives POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER clinical work and theoretical perpsectives THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITIES I am interested in new ideas and proposals for Therapeutic Communities, or any other therapeutic provisions having charitable status STUDENTS, PSYCHOTHERAPISTS or RESEARCHERS interested in any of these areas ~ are invited in whatever capacity ~ to contact me with their particular interests, concerns or questions ~ on an informal or formal basis depending on the nature of the enquiry BOURNEMOUTH THERAPY (also low cost provision service) Bournemouth Therapy Centre Bournemouth Therapy: 197 Broadway Lane, Throop BH8 OAD.
