About Me...
Face to the Name...
Hi, My name is Colin and Puzzled Counselling is....well its me.
My Therapeutic career began in 2014 and my experience has been varied and wide ranging as I have worked in the private, charitable and also education sectors of Mental Health gaining valuable experience across a broad range of mental health issues.
Much of my early training was completed within charities such as MIND.
I have also worked within various secondary schools as a School Counsellor and also with CAMHS Northampton as a Specialist Mental Health Practitioner from within the LAC (Looked After Children) department.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and therefore work within their Ethical Guidelines and Professional Boundaries. I also hold a current DBS check and I am fully insured.
As a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor I am able to offer an Integrative approach which basically means that I can work across a broad spectrum of therapeutic options picking that which is best suited to you and your individual needs.
I use Person Centered Theory as the main basis of my work which essentially places you, as the client, at the center of the process, however I can use other modalities such as Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Mindfulness & Humanistic therapy when appropriate.
Using my professional experience, coupled with my passion and empathy, every person is treated as an individual from within a space that is safe, secure, and completely free of all judgements or stigma. I believe that counselling isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ process and together we will work out a process that best works for you.
If you are struggling in any aspect of life, no matter how big or small, and you want to talk things over with someone who can care and help, then please reach out.
