PENNY BRADSHAW
MSc Integrative Psychotherapy - UKCP Registered Email: penny@pennybradshaw.co.uk Phone: 07773563918
The private and confidential space of counselling and therapy can help us begin to off-load and unpack some of life's burdens. Working with someone professional, who is not connected with our lives, can really help us to gain insight - or a better understanding of ourselves.
I am passionate about my work as a therapist and believe in the transformational effects of the one-to-one therapeutic relationship.
ABOUT ME
I am a qualified psychotherapist with over 20 years experience. I trained at Metanoia Institute (Middlesex University) one of the largest and well respected counselling and therapy training centres in Britain. I have a Clinical Diploma and MSc in Integrative Psychotherapy.
I am registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a member of Metanioa Institute, and I abide by these organisations' standards and code of ethics.
I have extensive experience of working with adults with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, stress, early life trauma, interpersonal relationships, loss and bereavement.
Having worked in a University setting made me see the benefits of short term work as well as long term therapy. It has also given me opportunity to work with a culturally diverse as well as neurodiverse client group.

FEES AND APPOINTMENTS
The fee for each session will be £50 and the session will be 50 minutes. I ask for 24 hour notice if you need to cancel a session otherwise the full fee will be payable.
Please contact me by telephone or email to arrange an appointment that is convenient for you. I am currently working online via Zoom. I'm available for appointments any day of the week 10am - 6pm.
INITIAL APPOINTMENT
The first appointment is a free half-hour opportunity for us to discuss how we might be able to work together. You will then have time to decide whether you would like to go ahead with some further sessions and we will arrange appointments at a mutually convenient time.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND DATA PROTECTION
I am registered with the UKCP (United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy) and therefore abide by their ethical and confidentiality guidelines.
I take only personal contact details from you and this information is treated as completely confidential. Anything spoken about in sessions is also confidential. I keep a written record of each session and these short notes are kept in a locked filing cabinet.
Your name, contact details and my personal clinical notes will be kept secure for a period of six years as recommended by my personal indemnity insurers (Towergate) and after that will be shredded. I follow GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) guidelines in line with UKCP ethical rules about the collection of personal data. These details will never be passed on to third parties.
Under the BACP and UKCP ethical guidelines I receive regular supervision for all my client case work. This means I may discuss your situation in confidence with another professional. My supervisor is also bound by the same rules of confidentiality, ethics and rules of GDPR.
