About Grace
Grace McBrien – Individuals, Couples and Family's Counsellor/ Psychotherapist
I've been supporting people through times of pain, change, and difficulty since 2001. Working in both statutory and non-statutory settings across Local authority, health, education, and specialist therapeutic services.
I'm a qualified systemic psychotherapist, having completed four years postgraduate training to work with couples, families, and individuals, with a particular focus on how relationships shape us. I am particularly interested in what gets talked about, what gets responded to, what does not get talked about and how this affects relationships. The 'stuff 'of communication!
I have experience of working with physical health issues, neuro-developmental needs, divorcing and separating couples and families, sibling difficulties. As well as earlier traumatic experiences.
Professional Background & Approach
I'm registered and accredited with BACP, UKCP, and Association for Family Therapy and Systemic practice. I have worked with people across a wide range of cultures, ages, backgrounds, and life experiences. I believe that people are resourceful and often hold clues about what they think would help them live a more fulfilling life. I find that a collaborative approach can help people draw on their own resources and experitise.
As a systemic psychotherapist, I am trained in various theories and models, which enable me to work effectively with the dilemmas and difficulties faced by individuals, couples, and families. My training allows me to adapt my style to the differing perspectives and ideas present in each session. I will bring to the work a curious, caring presence but also a space for gentle and supportive challenge.
I am committed to creating a space where relationships can grow, and where we can talk about how I can be of use to you. I have found that face-to-face sessions often allow for the richest therapeutic work.
