Peter Powell

As an MBACP Snr. Acc. Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I have over 25 years of experience counselling, and supervising and teaching counsellors. Having worked predominantly in universities and private practice, I now manage a community-based charity counselling service. I was Course Leader / College Lecturer at Oxford University and also worked in the University Counselling Service for 15 years. 

Whilst psychodynamically trained, it is the relationship which is important, through which we can understand ourselves and our relationships with others, each of which, so often, have an unwarranted and unhelpful influence on our well being. It is only through understanding, that we can effect positive change in our circumstances, our feelings and our relationships. I also offer Therapeutic Consultancy, a more focused approach to help confront particular challenges or change with which life presents us from time to time. This integrates elements of therapy and coaching, and is often more appropriate than longer-term exploratory therapy.
