Alastair Bontein
I have trained in various therapeutic approaches including, Buddhist, mindfulness based Counselling (Person-Centred), Shinrin Yoku (Forest Bathing/Forest therapy) and addiction therapy (Gambling).
I have experience of working with Adults and Young people, both as a Counsellor and the fields of education and social care. I believe strongly in early interventions and that given time and the right environment, there is the potential for growth and change for anyone.
I work in an eco informed modality, because I have both personal and professional experience of the positive therapeutic outcomes that can be achieved.
I have clinical interests in:
-
Gambling harms
-
Trauma work
-
Existential therapy - loss of control and purpose
-
Anxiety and Depression
-
Feeliungs of Alienation
-
Loss and Grief
