Paul Bowley EMDR

Paul Bowley
EMDR Practitioner in Brighton

I have been working as a Counsellor / Psychotherapist since 2006.
Now offering low cost supervision to trained therapists or trainees who are registered with BACP or NCS.

I am currently working as an independent therapist, I have experience working for Croydon Council as a School Counsellor youth agencies and also in the City for a large Corporate Financial Establishment as a Staff Wellbeing Psychotherapist.

I have extensive experience working with young people from the age of 11 years old and with Adults in my Corporate job , for the Various EAPs and medical insurance companies and of course my private practice.


I am fully qualified, being trained in the Person Centered and Humanistic Models of Counselling, this means that I work with the Client using the 3 main Core conditions of Empathy, Congruence, and Unconditional Positive Regard. This enables me to support my clients to affect change within their lives and to empower them to reach their fullest potentials.

I now work as an Integrative Humanistic therapist, meaning that I integrate other Humanistic models into my sessions, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Existential Therapies including some CBT where suitable, as well as the advanced use of Mindfulness and EMDR.

Working in a truly client centered way means that I have the belief that my clients have the fullest capacity to heal themselves given the right support and environment, and that the path of support is very fluid and evolves with each individual.

Counselling/Psychotherapy are terms relating to short term or longer term talking therapies that are carried out by trained practitioners whom are under a recognised regulatory professional body. I follow the BACP - British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists ethical framework for Counselling Professions. Additionally, I am a Registered and Accredited member of the BACP (registration number 020459). Being accredited shows that a therapist has reached a level within their practice that demonstrates that that they are competent, independent and ethical and commits to ongoing Continuous professional development. This is checked on a yearly basis.
i am also Senior accredited with the National Counselling Society NCS17-04684

I have a current enhanced DBS check (previously known as CRB check) to work with young people and vulnerable adults.

I have Public Liability and Professional Liability insurance with "Towergate Professional Risks".

I am Registered as an associate with AVIVA Healthcare, OHAssist, and Nuffield Wellbeing and Cigna
