Avis Underwood
I work with people who may be experiencing anxiety, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, work-related stress, or periods of change and uncertainty. Sometimes there is a clear reason for seeking therapy; at other times, life may simply no longer feel quite right. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, think about what is happening and begin to understand yourself and your circumstances differently.
Before training as a psychotherapist, I worked in the arts and cultural sectors in the UK and abroad. I spent several years living and working outside the UK, experiences which have stayed with me and shaped my interest in identity, perspective and the ways people find their place when circumstances change. My background in the arts also continues to inform my curiosity about how people make sense of themselves and their lives.
I began my psychotherapy training with WPF Therapy and completed my training at the British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF). My training included extensive clinical work, academic study and supervised practice.
I am an accredited member of the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC) and a member of the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC). I work in accordance with their professional and ethical standards and undertake regular clinical supervision and continuing professional development.
