About Counselling Psychology

   

Chartered Counselling Psychologists work therapeutically with clients with a variety of problems (for example, the effects of childhood sexual abuse, relationship breakdown, domestic violence, major trauma) and/or symptoms of psychological disorder (such as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and psychosis). They offer an active collaborative relationship which can both facilitate the exploration of underlying issues and can empower people to confront change.

Chartered Counselling Psychologists work in NHS services (including primary care, Community Mental Health Teams, tertiary settings for psychiatric in-patients, specialist services for older adults, those with eating disorders, personality disorders, learning difficulties, and in general health care settings where psychological services are offered); in prison and probationary services, social services, voluntary organisations, employee assistance programmes (EAP's), occupational health departments, student counselling services and in independent/private practice. They may work with individuals, couples, families or groups.
