Nick Judson

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and M.Sc in Integrative Psychotherapy as well as a BA in Creative Arts. I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist.

I have completed a post qualifying training in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy as well as Cerificate and Advanced Practitioner Training in Clinical Supervision.

Prior to training as a psychotherapist, I trained as an artist and gained my degree in creativity as an aid to well-being in group-work.

I have more than 20 years experience of facilitating therapeutic change with individuals, families, groups and communities.

I approach counselling and psychotherapy as a journey. As such, I see the counsellor/psychotherapist's role as that of a good enough guide who needs to be a willing traveling companion to their client. I believe it is important to offer space and time to the client as they explore their own journey. In this process, I support the client in finding meaning in what may be painful and difficult life experiences.

Creativity, imagery, metaphor and spirituality are all areas I have ongoing interest and experience in.
