Paola Pomponi - MA., ADEP.

UKCP (Accr.), MBACP., BASRT.

About Paola:

 

I trained at the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling, Regent’s College, London. I hold a Masters Degree in Counselling & Psychotherapy and an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy (ADEP).

 

I am also a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist and general member of BASRT and work with individuals and couples.

 

I am trained in CBT ( Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) which I implement as part of my Existential orientation.

 

I am originally from Italy and have lived in the UK for the best part of 30 years. I can provide Psychotherapy in both English and Italian.

 

I come from a business background and this, together my life experience and clinical practice, makes me very much aware and sympathetic with the fast pace of contemporary life

and all the consequent anxiety, fatigue and, at times, loss

of direction that can be the result of a high profile career and demanding business activity.

 

I practice Existential Psychotherapy in order to facilitate

my clients’ growth, development and change, during young, middle and later stages of life. I believe that opportunities are plentiful and that therapy can help identify them and find pathways to improve the quality of one’s life.

 

It is no coincidence that the subject of my dissertation was “The Age of Opportunities?” - a study of the transition into mid-life.

 

I approach my clients with respect and care and I draw from my personal experience in order to assess and set realistic goals. I have acquired extensive knowledge about different existential dilemmas and issues and I approach each client in a committed and personal way.

 

I listen and relate to my clients in a non-judgmental and

non-directive way. I believe that the best therapy lies in a trustworthy and open relationship between client and therapist and that we always relate to each other as two human being who share the experience of being part of society and the world.
