Role: Integrative Therapist and Counsellor
Qualifications: Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, BSc (Hons) and Level 3 Diploma
Sean has worked within psychotherapy for more than four years across a range of settings. His experience includes working as a therapeutic practitioner within children’s homes and specialist schools, as a therapist and counsellor within a local college and supporting a suicide-prevention charity.
These roles have helped Sean develop an integrative and person-centred approach based on real-world therapeutic experience. He is now also involved in training others to work therapeutically.
Beginning counselling can bring many different emotions. Sean understands that people unfamiliar with therapy may be uncertain about what to expect and is happy to arrange a shorter introductory conversation to explain the process and explore what may work for them.
The first full session is used to establish a safe and supportive foundation. Because everybody brings different experiences, therapy will look slightly different for each person and will progress at a pace that feels manageable.
Sean’s practice has become particularly attuned to attachment difficulties and trauma. Although many therapeutic interventions are available, he believes that feeling safe, understood and supported within the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in making effective use of counselling.
