Rate Peter Spanton

I hold counselling credentials in the UK issued by the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) .

With 7 years of professional experience.

I have helped hundreds of clients work through stress and anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression and abuse.

My priority is to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment.

I have been a teacher and worked extensively with students with complex and dysfunctional backgrounds who had been excluded from mainstream education.

I worked for a charity set up to help the victims of sexual violence and childhood abuse which I found richly rewarding.

I have a background in business.

I spent many years in the night club and restaurant sector both in managerial roles and as a sole owner.

I know first hand the pressures and demands of this lifestyle.

I was also the creative director of my own non-alcoholic drinks company.

I have first hand experience of working in high stress environments and am familiar with the dreadful toll that can take on an individual.

It is only now, having lived a rich and varied life that I feel I truly qualified to offer counselling to people in crisis or simply trying to make sense of where they find themselves.

Taking this first step to sign up for therapy takes courage.

I am proud of you for getting started!
