Let me introduce myself, my name is Rodney

here is more information about me

My Background

I have had over 30 years of senior management experience both in the public and voluntary sector.

I moved into therapy as a new career and I am now an accredited Gestalt Psychotherapist.

I am particularly interested in how patterns of behaviour, and how we are taught to be, often prevent people from living full and open lives. I have particularly deep experience of working in voluntary organisations with people whose lives have been affected by HIV and Hepatitis C.

I am interested in how we internalise prejudice to our own ill effect e.g. internalised racism or homophobia.

I have had wide experience in helping people who are dealing with the stresses and frustrations of working life.

I am also a qualified Business and Executive Coach using gestalt principles to enable senior managers to perform to their full potential.

I am passionate about music in all its forms, theatre and cinema. I am widely read in modern literature and like to keep fit.

Training and Ethics

I have completed ten years of Accredited Gestalt Psychotherapy Training.

I work to the Codes of Ethics and Practice of the GPTI (Gestalt Psychotherapy Training Institute) which operates under the umbrella of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP), the official body for the registration of psychotherapists.
