The Counsellor - Peter Goldsmith MBACP

Originally educated in an Integrative model, Peter has subsequently developed a humanistic approach that facilitates the introduction of client focused interventions. Working in the NHS A & E sector for 15 years, he is also experienced in voluntary sector counselling, assisting clients with substance abuse, bereavement, and more recently work-related stress issues as well as more generalised counselling support where client discomfort may not have any immediately obvious  cause.

Professional Standards -

Peter’s professional standards are defined by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s (BACP) “Ethics for Counselling and Psychotherapy”

The Counselling Session -

The initial session of 60 minutes is structured to allow for basic administration, explanation of confidentiality and  how the sessions work before embarking on an exploration of the embryonic therapeutic relationship. Subsequent sessions are of 45 minutes duration.

The counsellor will take responsibility for timings and therapeutic welfare allowing you the space to explore your feelings.
