🎃 Happy Hallow'een! 👻

In our household, we love dressing up in spooky costumes and having lots of fun on the 31st of October — no clients for me today, just treats (and maybe a few tricks)!

Remember, life doesn’t have to be scary. If you're ready to live a happier, more fulfilling life, we’re here to help.

Watching as a psychotherapist like:🤷‍♂️🤔🤦‍♂️

I really like this statement. In my experience, the ' results' of psychodynamic psychotherapy are not always tangible or measurable and can be experienced years after therapy is finished. What are other people's thoughts?

Sharing this again. It's true. When you do the work on yourself, you improve your relationship with others and the type of people you attract in your life

Thank you for your generous post, Aaron Marshall it's been ( and continues to be!) an absolute pleasure to supervise you.

I think you ask a very valid question, here- what if supervision in training is not ' good enough?'

When I undertook my MA in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, I did not choose my Clinical Supervisors; our supervisors were tutors and Lecturers on the Master's programme. I was extremely fortunate to have been supervised by excellent, supportive, challenging and knowledgeable supervisors.
When we have the opportunity to choose our supervisors, it can be an absolute minefield, and sometimes it can have a negative impact on us and our work.
I am glad to have found two excellent supervisors, Patrick Tomlinson and Anne Turnbull.

In two weeks, I’ll be attending a two-day training on administering the Semi-Structured Clinical Interview for Dissociative Symptoms and Disorders (SCID-D), hosted by The Pottergate Centre for Trauma and Dissociation.

I’ve had the privilege of working with The Pottergate Centre for the past four years and have developed extensive experience supporting clients with Dissociative Identity Disorder and other trauma-related presentations.

In preparation for the training, I’m refreshing my knowledge with the “Working with Complex Traumatic Dissociation” learning package to further deepen my understanding and clinical practice.

After putting my application off for quite some time, I have finally completed my EMDR accreditation paperwork! Once it's been approved by my EMDR supervisor, submitted, and I receive my EMDR accreditation status with EMDR UK, I will be working towards becoming an EMDR consultant. Watch this space!

Have a listen to my way of working, why my fees are not on my website and why I offer a sliding scale ⬆️
