Clinical Experience in Counselling, Psychotherapy

I provide individual and couple counselling and psychotherapy in Dulwich Village. I offer a friendly and professional approach building on my clients' individual strengths in order to tackle problems. Some issues may only take a few sessions to resolve, other clients may want to explore underlying issues and come for in-depth psychotherapy over a number of years. My aim is to work with you to make the changes you want, whether this is changing your feelings about a past experience or developing your capacity to move forward. I will review with you what you find helpful.

How I Work

I have been in counselling and psychotherapy practice since 1987. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues and clients and hope to be non-judgemental, helping you to make the changes you desire.

I describe my approach in counselling and psychotherapy as integrative and use a variety of approaches:

Solution Focused and Cognitive – this may involve directed tasks to deal with specific problems.

Analytic and Psychodynamic – this involves looking back at the past and making links with how it effects you in the present.

Art Therapy – this uses art materials to help tap into feelings.

Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) - this is a technique to reprocess past traumas.

Clinical Training in Counselling, Psychotherapy

I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a qualified Art Psychotherapist. I adhere to the BACP Code of Practice.

I first trained as an Art Therapist at Goldsmith's College and later trained at the University of London in counselling. I have many other trainings in specific areas: e.g. Couple Therapy, Trauma, Adolescence, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I will assess and discuss with you which approach may be most helpful. I describe my approach to counselling and psychotherapy as Integrative as I usually utilise different techniques and approaches with an individual client.

I also provide clinical supervision, training and groupwork apart from my private counselling and psychotherapy practice.

Additional Information from Polly Bagnall

Making a first appointment can be difficult. In the first session you will have time to talk about the problems you want help with and get a sense of how I work and I will give you feedback on how I think I may be able to help.

What you say is Confidential.
