Robert Hudson: Integrative Psychotherapy, Counselling, Coaching & Consultancy
For over 25 years, John Beveridge has worked with people in recovery from addiction, trained as an attachment - based psychoanalytic psychotherapist and has studied at the Institute of Group Analysis.
Although people strive to find happiness, there exist, below the level of consciousness, compulsions to repeat the dynamics we experienced in childhood relationships, which often become unhelpful and self-destructive.
John believes that in life, "we create, promote and allow everything that happens to us".
The stories we tell ourselves about our lives are often based on core beliefs, which were formed in early experiences of trauma and loss, leaving the feeling that we have little choice in what happens to us. Psychotherapy can help us to identify harmful patterns in order to recognize and mourn losses, which have arisen from the choices we have made. Over time, the therapeutic relationship can release creative energy to help us to change our lives for the better, by making healthy decisions from an increasingly solid sense of Self.
John teaches psychotherapists-in-training at various institutes in the areas of; addiction, dissociation, sexuality and gender, object relations and attachment theory. He supervises psychotherapists, counsellors and leaders of therapeutic groups, is registered with the UKCP, which operates a code of ethics and is a member of the Forum of Independent Psychotherapists (FIP).
Deborah Davies, is a UKCP registered Integrative psychotherapist. Member of the BACP. BA in History and English and MA in Integrative Psychotherapy.
Deborah received her MA from the Minster Centre where she trained as an integrative psychotherapist. Before training she worked as a secondary school teacher where she developed an interest in emerging adulthood and the struggle required to mature into a functioning adult.
At King's College Hospital she worked alongside doctors and other specialists to offer a complete care package. It was there that she witnessed how the meaning of illness and the suffering experienced by patients and relatives alike can bring depth to existential realities such as death, aging and loss. As a former English teacher she has a particular interest in the creative process and how they are inspired.
Stephen Gee is trained as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and works with individuals and couples (gay and heterosexual). He is Chair of The Site for Contemporary Psychoanalysis where he trained. He has experience of seeing a wide range of people from different backgrounds.
His approach takes into account the conscious and unconscious processes that may be at work in what the person speaks of in each session. This means the therapy is usually long term and the initial presenting issues are set in the context of the individual's life and relationships. The aim is to address those problems which are repeatedly causing concern and leaving the individual stuck, depressed or anxious. There may be confusion, obsessional or paranoid thoughts or just plain self doubt, cynicism or lack of confidence. There may be addictions or other symptoms which are getting out of hand.
Taking a steady and long term approach creates conditions for the individual to take on and live through life's losses and frustrations and also to realise more of a sense of his or her own desire and capacity for enjoyment in work and love.

Michael is offering free 'spinal analysis'. This lets you know whether your body is properly aligned and what may be effecting your alignment since correct spinal alignment is a pre-requisite to good health and vitality. Misalignments of the spine may be indicative of physical, mental or emotional trauma, of which we may or may not be consciously aware. The procedure would provide you with a valuable insight into your current state of health and in addition, various options may be given as to your appropriate healing modality(s).
Chris John has an advanced diploma in integrative counselling and is a member of the BACP, he is currently completing his masters degree in therapeutic counselling. He has trained in intensive short term psychodynamic therapy and offers a sincere, caring yet challenging therapeutic style.
Chris has been working as a therapist for the past four years, in addition to one to one and couples therapy; he is an experienced group facilitator and has co facilitated groups with Robert Hudson and Associates Ltd. He also runs quarterly workshops on "healthy Relationships" and "inner-child work" which are open to individual's couples and families.
Chris believes an important aspect to therapeutic counselling is to learn who we are in relationship to our environment and to those with whom we interact. As we grow and develop through life's challenges, we sometimes experience intra-psychic conflicts that can cause us distress, which impact upon our relationships, family and work life. Left unattended these conflicts can negatively influence all areas of our lives and over time become destructive to both ourselves and to those around us. This may play put through alcohol or substance abuse, addictive processes such as gambling, sex or shopping. It may even impact through depression or anger. Through supportive safe counselling we are able to gain insight and awareness into our maladaptive relating styles and restructure both our emotional and cognitive states and begin the transformation, thus moving us to a more adaptive and healthier life style.
Chris provides a warm, empathic environment facilitating movement and understanding in relation to personal problems and relational patterns. He is able to contain his clients whilst assisting in an exploration into their personal journey while working towards change and fulfilment.
