About my training, qualifications and professional
experience.
My name is Michael O'Brien and I am a fully qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist
and Clinical Supervisor. I studied in Nottingham at the Sherwood Psychotherapy
Training Institute. I graduated with a BSc Hons in Counselling and Psychotherapy.
The course was accredited by the BACP and my degree was awarded through the
Coventry University. I also hold a post graduate diploma in Clinical Supervision.
This helps me to support other Counsellors/Psychotherapists in their client work
Current work
At this point in time I maintain a busy private practice in Gedling and Nottingham.
I find my work to be very rewarding personally and I enjoy helping clients to
identify what directions they wish to take in life. In my work as a Clinical
Supervisor I approach supervision in a non-judgemental and supportive way.
I wish to create an environment/relationship that can support supervisees in
their growth; learning and development and that helps them to become more
confident therapists.
I also volunteered as a senior Counsellor, Assessor and Clinical Supervisor with
the Nottingham Counselling Service (NCS). My work at NCS had it's own rewards.
I saw clients of all ages and backgrounds and the work was varied and challenging
in a good way. In the past I have also volunteered for ISAS
(Incest and Sexual Abuse Survivors) based in Newark. The work there could be very
painful and distressing for clients but I am constantly amazed by survivors
determination to move forwards and deal with their difficulties.
Clinical Supervision
I have clinical supervision on a regular basis in accordance with the BACP
guidelinesfor ethical practice. I discuss our work together with my supervisor
and every effort is made to keep my clients identity secret. I discuss client work
with my supervisor to safeguard you and to ensure that I am always working in
the best interest of my clients.I also have seperate Clinical Supervision to
support my own Clinical Supervision work with other therapists.
