Billy Mavin

Welcome, my name is Billy I am a qualified Supervisor offering in person or online supervision for individuals and groups. 

As an Integrative Psychotherapist and Supervisor I work with various modalities which enables me to tailor my approach according to your needs and the needs of your clients.  I will encourage you to bring all aspects of yourself so that you can reflect, grow and develop. 

My aim is to provide a professional and supportive environment whilst ensuring we adhere to the professional and ethical standards. Together we will clinically evaluate your client work, the emotional responses and challenges you experience whilst  developing skills and strategies. 

I offer a 15-20 minute conversation either on the phone or in person to see if we are compatible. 

Welcome, my name is Billy I am an experienced Psychotherapist, working with adults and couples. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental and theoretically informed approach to help you work through the difficulties you are facing. I can offer you a safe and confidential environment in my tranquil garden cabin.

Why therapy? People come to therapy for many different reasons, as life presents us with challenges both past and present. What I can give you is time and space to explore what is troubling you. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy having someone help you explore the issues you are experiencing can be the turning point you need.

So how do I work? I will work at your pace, led by you. As the relationship strengthens and where appropriate I will challenge distorted beliefs and behaviours that prevent you from moving towards growth and personal outcomes.

I will not offer my opinion or promise to 'fix' your problems, as I strongly believe we all have the capacity to enable our own healing and development through the therapeutic process.

My Training 

BA (Hons) Degree in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy, Diploma in Clinical Supervision and Couples Counselling. 

I am an accredited  member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Code of Ethics and Practice. I attend regular supervision and engage in continued professional development (CPD) to ensure my knowledge is current and relevant to client needs.

My Experience

As well as my private practice I work with trainee counsellors in clinical supervision at Waverely Abbey College. I also work at a local Prison as a Psychotherapist supporting those with addictions, neruodivergence and complex trauma. 

Prior to my training I worked with adults and families in crisis for Adult Services and a mental health charity facilitating groups educating and promoting wellbeing.  

If you are new to therapy making this decision to seek professional help may feel scary however, be reassured this is a normal response. The first step is to contact me via email to arrange a suitable date to meet. We can discuss the issues you would like to explore and how I can support you. Please note this first session is an opportunity for both of us to see if we can work well together.

If you are returning to therapy it will be helpful to understand what your previous experience of therapy was like, what did or didn't work for you so we can establish how best I can support you.

All sessions are 60 minutes for individual therapy or 90 minutes for couples therapy, face to face or online.
