Ian Michie (BACP Registered)

My approach is psychodynamic which is analytical and explores how certain patterns can evolve in relationships. Once these patterns can be understood there is an opportunity to take responsibility and to make a change. I have read and studied extensively many of the other well-known psychological approaches.

As well as working in the NHS at a GPs practice, I worked for over six years at a busy residential crisis unit, which provided short-term crisis intervention for adults from all backgrounds.

I am a BPC accredited DIT practitioner which is recommended in the NICE guidelines for Anxiety/Depression

I am a fully qualified member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and of the UK Register of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (UKRCP). I keep abreast of professional developments in psychotherapy, counselling and supervision practice. I regularly attend supervision for my own continued professional development. I adhere to the Code of Ethics and Practice of the BACP. I have an up to date Advanced Disclosure CRB certificate (April 2012).

I am a registered practitioner with Bupa, Aviva, Pruhealth and Cigna for private health insurance.
