Meet Our Therapist Team
At Power to Live, we pride ourselves on our recruitment of talented, compassionate and value-driven therapists. Although our Senior Therapists are qualified in a particular therapeutic modality, they are all trained in process-based behavioural therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy. This allows them to navigate with you, map your difficulties and where you are stuck, and support you with precision to find your way to live a meaningful life. All our therapists receive regular clinical supervision.
