Ian Shaw
About the Therapist
I’m a qualified counsellor, trained to draw on a broad range of theories and approaches and put them together in a way that suits you (“Integrative” in the jargon). As a Registered Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (www.bacp.co.uk) you can be assured that I have been trained to a recognised standard, that I work to a professional code of conduct (which you can read here) and that my practice meets the BACP's higher standard as a competent, ethical and independent practitioner.
But I haven’t always been a counsellor. I have over 25 years' experience working in finance and technology. I’ve worked at board level in some huge organisations and at the coal face in some tiny ones. And things didn’t always go to plan. So I have first hand experience of the stresses that come from high pressured work environments and the challenges that real life can bring outside of the counselling room.

The approach that I use is based on the working relationship that we build. I don't go for a "one size fits all" approach.
I have a particular interest in, and experience of, working with people who identify as something different than the majority population in the UK. Whether it's sexual, gender or any other aspect of identity, experience shows me that being different from the majority identity can bring its own special challenges and perspectives.
