Darren Woodward

I have over 20 years of experience post qualification. I completed and then my post-Masters Diploma back in 2006. Since then I have led psychology and psychotherapy services for a large national charity. I am a qualified Executive Coach and a UKCP and BACP accredited Counselling/Psychotherapy Supervisor. I have much experience supporting people with addictions, including drugs or alcohol, gambling, porn and sex addiction. I have experience supporting people with eating disorders and much experience supporting people with identity issues (gender, sex, sexuality, professional, race, and more), but also supporting people with low mood/depression and anxiety (general, social, health etc.) I am a qualified Couples Counsellor and have been supporting couples for many years. Couples Counselling is an 80-minute session, rather than 1:1 therapy which is 50-minutes. I support young people (12 or over). I also offer walking therapy, i.e. delivering the 50-minute session whilst walking.
