Pauline Drummond

Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP); independent registered practitioner United Kingdom Register of Counsellors (UKRC). Qualified Jungian psychotherapist (British Association of Psychotherapists) and registered member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC).

I have almost 20 years’ experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. My practice offers short-term and longer-term therapy for a range of difficulties that affect people’s lives and relationships. These may be connected with work or family, and may cause depression, stress and anxiety, post-traumatic symptoms, addictive behaviour, loss of confidence or self-esteem, lack of direction, bereavement and loss, identity problems, or a wish for more expressive and creative life.

I also offer supervision to counsellors and other trained therapists, and can provide training therapy for individuals who are on qualification courses in counselling and psychotherapy.

I abide by the Codes of Ethics of the BPC and BACP, and, as required by the registering bodies, undertake regular continuing professional development (CPD).

I can be contacted either through the Wimborne Therapy Centre or on my telephone number: 0118 961 3315, where you can also leave an answerphone message. I aim to contact you within 24 hours of receiving a message.

Volunteer Counsellors and Psychotherapists

As well as the Counsellors and Psychotherapists mentioned above, The Counselling Service, also has volunteer therapists who offer a couple of hours of their time each week to a low cost service for those who cannot afford therapy due to financial difficulties. All of these volunteers are qualified to practice and members of professional bodies.

If you are interested in being a volunteer therapist please make contact with Kevin on 07968 622585 who will arrange an interview and assessment.

The Counselling Service offers group supervision with accredited therapists for a reduced fee to all volunteers.
