Peter Lindsay, a Psychodynamic counsellor, counselled Mike Trier live for 20 minutes and then had a discussion about the process with John Wilson.
Chatroom participants were able to comment and ask questions. This was part of a series of live counselling, in which counsellors from different modalities counselled the same client with the same issue.
Learning Objectives:
- To see how counsellors from different modalities approach a given issue.
- To learn about therapist choices.
- To increase awareness of the ethical issues surrounding live counselling.
Course Content
Presenter
I have a private practice in Sheffield, mainly counselling couples, but I also counsel individuals. I am a supervisor and offer training, both to young people and adults.
I am BACP Accredited, and achieved both my Person-Centred Diploma in Counselling, and Person Centred Certificate in Supervision at Temenos, in Sheffield.
At the end of my accounting career, my first wife died after a good marriage of 30 years duration.
I wanted to give something back to society. I had enjoyed good people relations, so I decided to try counselling. I thought having worked internationally might be useful to enable me to also counsel across borders and cultures.
I trained with Relate doing an MA in relationship counselling at Hull uni while working with them. I widend that skill set with numerous other certified courses.
I worked with the Samaritans for a while, both in France and the UK, and qualified as a family mediator. I now have a private counselling practice (BACP registered) seeing couples and individuals. Sometimes I visit clients at their home or via on-line or phone link, and I also counsel at a Welsh college where I work with teenagers and adult students who need support for many issues.
