Welcome To My Therapy Blog
Hi, I'm Peter Banczyk, a Psychotherapist and Counsellor with 24 years experience; a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. My Membership Number is 00922450, and I was the Director and Senior Psychotherapist at the Liverpool Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy for two decades.
Since 2017 I have provided treatment via video link from my office in Orkney, Scotland. I have a little more time now to put forth 24 years of my musings about all things psychotherapy and relationships and try to help people in their search to find the right counsellor or therapist. Be patient! I am still seeing clients and renovating a smallholding, so I always have more ideas to put forth than I will ever have time for.
Stress, anxiety and depression in the NHS, hidden in plain sight?
A few years ago a doctor working in a hospital nearby to the practice I ran, called me and asked if I had any free space for an initial appointment, they were a little nervous about seeing a counsellor or therapist. They asked a few questions, one of which was 'Have you ever treated a doctor before?'. My reply was that I was treating three at that time, I got the impression that they where a little taken aback.
