Stephanie White Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in Bristol and Bath

I am a psychotherapist in training at Bath Centre For Psychotherapy and Counselling. The course is accredited by the UKCP and the MA is validated by Middlesex University. It is a long, postgraduate training over many years, combining rigorous academic and experiential learning. The orientation is Humanistic and Integrative and we are encouraged to form our own synthesis as therapists.

I am in my fifth year of training.

Uniquely, I believe, BCPC helps its students set up in private practice as an integral part of the training. In order to work as therapists we need to know ourselves-weekly personal psychotherapy is a requirement; I have been with my own therapist for over ten years and have a further three years’ experience of personal therapy in different settings.

As a trainee psychotherapist registered with the UKCP, I adhere to both the UKCP and BCPC Code of Ethics. I receive regular individual and group supervision and have professional indemnity insurance.

I am also a student member of BACP.

Before setting up in private practice I did my student placement at the SWAN Project in Bristol. This charity specialises in a non-twelve step approach to alcohol addiction and substance abuse. I have also worked with clients who have a history of child sexual abuse.

As a psychotherapist in training I am able to offer competitive, low cost and affordable fees, well below market rates; please contact me for details. Sessions last for fifty minutes and are weekly. I do charge for cancellations; if you are ill I will try and offer an alternative session in the same week, although cannot guarantee to be able to do so. For booked ahead absences such as holidays I offer four weeks annually at half fee, although sometimes we can make up the missed sessions in the weeks either side.

My training is with the College of Cognitive Behavioural Therapies, based in London, where I am in the process of submission for the final part of my qualification. The course is accredited with the National Counselling Society, and on completion, I will be registered with that body. I am also working towards accreditation with AREBT (the leading organisation for REBT in the UK) and BABCP and, in the future, a listing on the CBT register. I am a student member of both AREBT and BABCP and adhere to their Codes of Ethics.

I receive individual supervision and have professional indemnity insurance.
