Chris Murphy

I work with women and men on a one-to-one basis. I also work with couples. All sessions are confidential. For maintenance of best practice I receive regular supervision in which I discuss my therapeutic work; however identity of clients is not revealed. I can work with you on either a short-term or longer term basis.

I trained for three years at the renowned Gestalt Centre (London) where I obtained a certificate in humanistic counselling before going on to complete a BACP-accredited diploma. In psychotherapy and counselling I have experience of working both in a large organisational setting and in private practice. I am a fully registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy, and I abide by their ethical framework.

My background is in research - biomedicine - in which I hold a doctorate. I have twenty years' experience of working in senior management and leadership roles in internationally-leading organisations (including Imperial College London and Oxford University). I have extensive experience of mentoring and coaching at a senior level.

My practice is easily accessed by car via the Chertsey road (a mile from Twickenham rugby stadium). There are no parking restrictions. It is also well served by public transport being a short walk from Whitton railway station (regular and direct South West train service to Waterloo - a 29 minute journey), and local buses (including H22, 110, 481).
