Pauline Brumwell

Psychotherapeutic Counselling and Hypnotherapy - Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire and On-line

UNFORTUNATELY MY PRACTICE IS FULL AT PRESENT

My name is Pauline Brumwell. I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and GHR Registered Hypnotherapist based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I have been working as a therapist for over thirty years. In that time, I have developed an effective, integrative approach that incorporates traditional talking therapies with creative approaches such as Gestalt, artwork, writing, and, where appropriate, Hypnotherapy, Traumatic Incident Reduction, and Brainspotting - an approach that has recently emerged from EMDR therapy.

I particularly enjoy working with highly motivated clients who are keen to fully understand and overcome the problems that are distressing them. Psychotherapeutic counselling is a great opportunity to find real and lasting solutions to problems, rather than looking for quick, or surface 'fixes', that may not last for very long.

I have substantial understanding of, and experience of working with, complex trauma. I am a member of the International Traumatic Incident Reduction Association. (TIRA) and attend training in new integrative approaches for trauma reduction on a regular basis.

I also have a good track record in helping people overcome...

Depression.

Anxiety.

Stress.

Problems relating to childhood emotional, physical and sexual abuse.

Problems relating to isolated traumatic incidents.

Destructive recurring patterns in relationships, career, or self-care.

Difficulty in letting go of old hurts.

Problems of over-work or perfectionism.

Issues relating to the challenges faced by lesbian, gay and bisexual people and their family and friends

I negotiate individually with each new client to find an approach that honours their own unique experience and strengths.

I have worked on-line and by phone for many years, with experience as a helpline volunteer since the early 1980's. I was part of the first UK training in online counselling twenty years ago and have provided counselling online in a variety of formats since then. For most people, online or telephone counselling is as effective as face-to-face. These approaches have always provided a viable alternative to office based counselling where travel/access etc is difficult. And they offer a safe platform for therapy during the current pandemic.
