Mr Paul Salvage

Psychotherapist (Registered)

I am an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist working with Adults and Adolescents (16-25). I qualified as a counsellor in 2012 and as a Psychotherapist in 2014. I am interested in the various ways Psychotherapy can help people. This can incluse those in acute crisis who dont know where to turn, to those with a milder sense of unease or those wishing to increase their own awareness of themselves and others. Psychotherapy, is a unique treatmnet in that rather than medicalising and diagnosis, it trys to stay with an attitude of openness and not-knowing-in order to alow a more complete sense of understanding which can be limited with premature categorisation.

About Me

I am a UKCP registered Psychotherapist in Hove, East Sussex, United Kingdom. I am experienced in helping clients find ways forward with a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, mental helath diagnosis, relationship difficultiies, experieneces of trauma, abuse and neglect and to thoise recovering from expreineces of breakdown.

Approach

I try to listen and understand the experiences, predicaments, conflicts and difficulties you bring. I try to understand these and bring fresh insights that may alter how these can be understood.
