Counselling Southampton
--- currently unavailable ---
My name is Guy Payne. I am a counsellor and psychotherapist, and I offer counselling to adults, couples, children, parents and families.
I provide short and longer term counselling that is tailored to your specific requirements and designed to help you feel better.
My mission is to quickly and thoroughly improve the parts of your life you need support with by using gentle, well researched, therapies that I have used and know to be effective and long lasting.
I understand that looking for help can sometimes be a daunting prospect so I am happy to spend as little or as much time as you need explaining the process and talking through what is right for you so you are comfortable and confident about the course of therapy.
Once you are happy we can start the process of helping you feel better. If you would like to know more, you are more than welcome to send me a message.
About Me
After a number of years travelling the world I settled down in 1989, started a family and began my professional life as an English teacher. However, I have always had a passion for helping people and so, in 2001, I fulfilled my life long ambition and qualified as a therapist and counsellor.
Since then I have gained extensive experience and training in helping adults, children and families feel better and live happier, healthier lives and I still wake up each day feeling excited by my profession.
Next to my practice in Central Southampton I also offer counselling in Burley in the New Forest, Bournemouth and Poole.
Qualifications and registrations
I am registered and Accredited with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). To reach Accreditation status with the BACP it is necessary to have an advanced counselling qualification in the first instance and to undergo yearly relevant continuing professional development.
My BACP membership number is 538561 and my registration number is 020022
I also have a specific interest and extensive training in Attachment Therapy, Family Therapy, Trauma Recovery, Group Work and CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy).
I undertake a yearly DBS check. This demonstrates my eligibility to support and help vulnerable people including children.
