Gordon McIntosh

My 30-year vocation in social, emotional & mental health care enables me to work with sensitivity, compassion, and respect.

I am a registered member of the BACP and studied and trained at the Universities of Cambridge, London, Oxford, the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, The British Association of Psychotherapists and the Institute for Group Analyses.

As part of my ongoing personal development, I engage regular clinical supervision  to hold in check that my professional practice is focused, solid, and evolving.

I work brief or long-term with people who present with a range of Psychological well-being  needs which include relational difficulties, bereavement, depression, anxiety and panic attacks to name a few.

The first session is an assessment session which will last for 50 minutes. In this we will discuss the reasons you are seeking therapy at this time, your hopes and perhaps worries about beginning therapy and any other issues you want to bring.  

We will also discuss some practical 'housekeeping' matters such as time and frequency of sessions, boundaries, confidentiality, holidays, breaks and cancellations as well as the fee, and so forth.
