Staff of the UCS

All the counsellors, therapists and cognitive behavioural therapists employed in the Counselling Service are professionally qualified and highly experienced. We use the term 'counsellor' to include staff who work in a variety of different approaches, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, integrative therapy and person-centred therapy.

Associate Counsellors are people who are in the final stages of their professional training and are doing a placement in the Service, typically for one day per week.

All staff can be contacted via the main Service phone number.
