My name is Diego Avila and I am a Counselling Psychotherapist. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), and fully uphold their Ethical Framework. I work using a Relational Integrative Model, which puts the emphasis on the way that we, as humans, relate to each other, both inside and outside of the therapy room.  I am also a Clinical Supervisor as well as a Lecturer in Counselling, currently working in Adult Further Education.I offer Couples'/Relationship therapy having completed specialist training:Level 5 Certificate in Couple/Relationship Therapy, accredited by COSRT (College of Sexual and Relationship Therapists). I am currently undergoing specialised training in working with Compulsive Sexual Behaviours and am able to offer some limited reduced fees to clients presenting these issues for the duration of my training, expected to finish in September 2024.My aim is to provide you with a safe and contained space for you to talk, share and explore your feelings, in your own time and at your own pace. Within our therapeutic relationship I will aim to facilitate a space for self-growth and exploring your own personality, how you relate to others and to yourself.​The first session will be an assessment to explore what you feel you need help with and how we can work together. I will ask you to complete a brief questionnaire beforehand, which will give us a clearer picture of your presenting issues.I am also able to carry out session both in the English and Spanish languages.
