Antje Brown, BPC Registrant & BACP Accredited Psychotherapist

Antje Brown, BPC Registrant, BACP Accredited Psychotherapist & Certified Supervisor.

Qualifications

I am a registrant with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and a SAP certified supervisor.  

I am a qualified and experienced psychoanalytic psychotherapist and have trained at the London Centre for Psychotherapy which recently became part of the British Psychotherapy Foundation, registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I am on a register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority and abide by their code of ethics.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy training provides one of the most rigorous of all psychotherapy trainings and psychotherapists registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council have undergone one of these intensive trainings. Central to a psychoanalytic training is an emphasis on infant and child development to deepen understanding of the origins of difficulties encountered in later life.

Experience

In the course of my career as a psychotherapist I have managed the SPACE mental health charity in Slough, which was funded by the NHS due to the high standard of psychological services provided to its service users. As part of my work for the SPACE charity I set up a specialist domestic abuse assessment and counselling service for East Berkshire & South Bucks Women's aid now The DASH charity.

Because of my interest in destructive intimate relationships I took up a post as psychotherapist for The DASH charity in Slough, where I provided therapy to male and female victims of domestic abuse, clinical supervision and mental health training to staff. 

I now work in private practice in Windsor providing therapy to people experiencing a broad range of psychological problems and personal issues.
