Counselling with Bill Dillon

My Professional Qualifications

MY TRAINING

I completed a four year formal training in Psychodynamic Counselling at the Westminster Pastoral Foundation (WPF), Kensington, London, and graduated in 2001.

I have completed a training course at The Centre for Stress Management, Bromley, Kent.

I am a Professional Member of FPC (Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling). All the members of the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling have trained and qualified at WPF (London and Nationwide). WPF training is based on psychoanalytic principles and methods and is rigorous. All therapists are required to undergo personal therapy and have supervision throughout their training. Following qualification, therapists are expected to make use of consultation in order to maintain ethical standards of practice.

Counsellors trained at WPF have a breath of clinical experience and are qualified to practice in-depth work. This provides the opportunity for clients to work through personal difficulties within a professional framework. Professional members have experience of working with adults of different ages, gender, culture and background. They will vary the intensity of the focus of their work according to the needs of each individual client. Therapists aim to practice without discrimination and with respect for diversity.
