About Neil
I am Neil Runswick, a trained and qualified counsellor/Psychotherapist, who holds a BA (Hons) degree in Integrative Counselling, a Diploma in Counselling and a Post Graduate Certificate in Couples Therapy, (accredited by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists).
Having left Leicester as a teenager, I subsequently worked in a number of countries around the world, before settling in Suffolk, where I have lived for the past thirty years.
As a psychotherapist/counsellor my focus is entirely upon you, and helping you to understand yourself in relation to your current or past issues.
I view each person as an individual, and I am happy to work collaboratively with each individual in either short term work, or longer term work depending on what the individual’s desired outcome from our work together requires.
I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I adhere to the BACP ethical framework.

Therapy
Therapy is becoming an accepted part of looking after ourselves, however, taking the first steps toward positive change can be difficult and daunting. The integrative tradition draws on a number of therapeutic modals, which includes Psychotherapy, Humanistic and behavioural modalities. However, it is I believe the relationship and willingness between the two parties to work together that create the conditions for positive change.
It could be that unwanted issues from the past are currently and unconsciously creating a barrier which is preventing you from feeling happy, confident, and capable of achieving your desired goals.
Where does it live, the face behind the face? Everyone ought to know all that there is about the face that is his."

Couples Therapy
I believe that we are all relational, but many couples can struggle with relationship problems, these can include, not meeting their partners needs or having their own needs met, difficulties in difference and communication, or ongoing conflict. My work also includes working with affairs and sexual difficulties, including arousal and aging. I am also Kink affirmative trained.
