I am Joe Cousins Brown, a qualified, experienced BPC counsellor offering therapy in the centre of Bath. I trained at Wessex Counselling and Psychotherapy in Frome and have many years experience as an individual adult counsellor.

Following Freud and Lacan, psychodynamic counselling is a talking therapy where we together try to speak and listen carefully. Rather than medicalise your distress, this approach seeks to understand why you are saying whatever you are saying, to be attentive to the fact that you are speaking. We can then begin to address those issues which appear constantly, but perhaps inexplicably: things that don’t work, that you cannot help but think or do; troubling relationships; body image; sexual or gender identification.

Once you have contacted me, we can arrange one or more preliminary sessions to give you the opportunity to explore this type of counselling.

I offer once or twice weekly sessions of 50 minutes at the Practice Rooms in Bath, although it is also possible to meet remotely (Zoom). I am available both for open-ended and short-term, more directed work. 

I can offer sessions in German.

Fees: £50 per session (including the preliminary consultation).
