About Me
My name is Neil Saunders. I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have a post-graduate (level 7) diploma in person-centred counselling from the Norwich Centre. I also have a diploma in cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy from the UK College of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy.
I have a long-standing interest in what it means to live well and to pursue a meaningful life - and I've always been fascinated and moved by the moments of genuine connection that can happen between people. The moments when we feel genuinely seen by another human being are incredibly powerful and often happen when we least expect. The healing quality of these experiences can be profound. Working in counselling and psychotherapy is one way to nurture such relationships based on empathy, compassion and authenticity.
We live in an age where people feel increasingly disconnected and it is no surprise that anxiety and low mood are very much the emotions of our age. I have experienced how psychotherapy can be profound in enabling clients to explore the fullness of themselves, find ways of living that are attuned to their values - and find ways to work through negative emotions and unhelpful patterns of behaviour.
