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

I look forward to hearing from you.
