58 Regent Street RUGBY Warwicks CV21 2PS Tel: 01788 536446 e-mail alex@alexburns.co.uk I have worked as a Psychotherapist in Private Practice for more than 25 years offering Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy and Counselling to both individuals and couples who are experiencing emotional difficulties. Primarily I work with adult clients of all ages who are come for therapy to deal with a wide range of presenting issues: anxiety; depression; low self-esteem; difficulties with partners, family or step-family situations; bereavement, grief and loss; problems of understanding their own emotions or their relationships with others. I also have a particular interest in the possible links between emotional distress and physical symptoms. My approach is to offer a supportive, gentle and reflective environment in which to express and explore the possible causes of the presenting issues and the emotions that are raised. Through this experience clients may be able to gain a much deeper understanding of themselves and bring clarity in their relationships with others. If any of these issues concern you please feel free to contact me by phone on 01788 536446 or e-mail alex@alexburns.co.uk Prior to qualifying as a Psychotherapist I had some 20 years experience working in both the public and private sector which serves as a background to my understanding of the problems that many people face in career and work place situations. I was also a lecturer in Psychology specialising in child development. In addition to my Rugby practice, for twenty years I was in practice in Hampstead, North West London. For ten years I was a joint Course Director of Training at the Institute of Psychotherapy and Social Studies MA Course in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, and offered supervision to practicing therapists as well as therapists in training. Although I no longer practice in London, I remain as Director of Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy to the North West London Psychotherapy Centre where I also complete my continuing professional development (CPD) I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a Member of the College of Psychoanalysts - UK, and a Life Member of the Institute for Psychotherapy and Social Studies.
