John Garden

integrative Therapist
Contact Me!
Counselling is about working together to reduce emotional suffering.

You may be struggling with your past, your present or your future. Life may have become difficult suddenly or it may have been difficult for a long time.

You don’t have to face your challenges alone.

I specialise in working with:

  • Narcissistic Abuse
  • Dissociation
  • Trauma

I am an integrative therapist. This means that I work with ideas and methods from various traditions including gestalt, psychodynamic, existential and transpersonal psychology. It also means that I am interested in what “personal integration” looks like for you. We may uncover parts of ourselves that have been hidden from view, bringing together aspects of our existence that previously felt completely separate and unrelated. Developing a more integrated view of ourselves makes it more possible to be kind to ourselves and others, to hold healthy boundaries with ourselves and the world, and to tolerate difficult emotional experiences without reverting to coping mechanisms that no longer work for us.

I am passionate about the right of trainee therapists to have safe and ethical experiences in their training and placements. If you are a trainee therapist please contact me to discuss working together at a discounted rate.

    Qualifications and experience:

  • Level 5 CPCAB Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from Bedford Independent Counselling Training.
  • Level 4 Diploma in Gestalt Counselling from The Albany Centre.
  • 6 years of experience working as a volunteer befriender for the Twins Trust Bereavement Support Group.
  • I also trained for three years at the Minster Centre.

 

Fees: £65 for weekly 50-minute sessions (Limited number of discounts available for low-income households and trainee therapists).

Location: Bedford MK40
