Adam Shaw

I am an experienced, qualified, integrative counsellor, psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and counselling tutor. In addition to private practice I have worked in a GP surgery and counselling charity for more than 10 years which means I have had experience working with people struggling with a broad range of emotional, anxiety/stress/depression based, relationship and self-esteem related difficulties.

Given a solid therapeutic relationship, counselling provides a safe and confidential setting within which these difficulties can be explored to gain a greater understanding that can lead to improved self-awareness, managing your life differently and reducing the overwhelming feelings that may be associated with those difficulties.

I am a qualified supervisor and supervision tutor as well as counselling both in private practice and for a counselling charity. I am also a tutor on a counselling diploma. I see supervision not only as a way of encouraging ethical and effective practice but also as an opportunity to enhance our practice through joint exploration - whatever the level of our experience, and advocate 'passionate' supervision over more functional supervision.
