My name is Mike Johnston-Price. I am a counsellor and supervisor who has worked in these roles for 40 years and 27 years respectively. I offer my clients a safe, non-judgemental and quiet space in which they can explore with me, the issue/s which are affecting their quality of life at the moment and work towards their resolution. Once the outcomes for our counselling sessions together have been determined, the shared journey to achieve these outcomes begins.
About me and my practice
Lifes issues may be seen as being presented along a continuum. At one end, some issues require that we deal with them in a cognitive and practical way, and at the other end, more serious problems present themselves, and require a deeper understanding of the Self in order to resolve them and prevent them arising again. And of course, most can lay somewhere in between these two extremes. I can offer help with a range of presenting issues and to a wide age range of clients, together with Couple/Relationship Counselling. I work with the premise, If its not broke, dont fix it.
Whatever your presenting issue may be, I am always mindful of the financial cost of counselling for my clients. I am grateful, that because in my time as a counselling practitioner I have gained experience in a range of different models of counselling and techniques, I can help my clients find that the process for them can be not only emotionally rewarding, but financially viable for them too. I am happy to work face-to-face, or to work remotely using a range of platforms such as: Zoom, Google Meet, MS Teams, WhatsApp or Skype.
I am also a qualified Counsellor Supervisor, and can offer supervision to trainee counsellors as well as qualified and experienced practitioners. Furthermore, I am also qualified and experienced to offer Supervision of Supervision also.
If you feel that I can be of help to you, please do not hesitate to contact me, so that at the end of a free 30-minute session, we can decide whether we can work together.
