David Lloyd-
I have been counselling as a qualified counsellor for a period of ten years. My original experience of this type of work
began in 1987 when I worked for a number of years as a counsellor for the Samaritans. During that time I worked with issues of abuse, extreme states, addiction, crisis and relationship conflicts. Since then I have become qualified as a counsellor and have achieved a Diploma in Advanced
Counselling. I have completed 4 years of training in the theory and clinical application
of Transactional Analysis. (Transactional Analysis is a type of Psychotherapy). I
continue to study and during the last few years I have trained and become qualified
as a Master Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I am based in the
Torbay area, and practice as a Psychotherapist and supervisor working with individuals,
couples and groups. I also currently hold a Diploma in Clinical Supervision, and
supervise trainees and also counsellors working in GP settings and private practice.
I have taught and co-
I have worked in conjunction with a psychiatric team in the capacity of a psychotherapist at Torbay General Hospital, and am currently contracted by Torbay Social Services and the Devon and Cornwall Police as a Psychotherapist. I have also enjoyed facilitating three successful therapy groups, and also an eating disorder group.
I have a business background, and for a number of years I was a company director. I was responsible for all aspects of running the business. The company manufactured resin figurines, which were of my own original design. The company employed up to fourteen members of staff. During that time, my interest in counselling led me to become involved in a government pilot scheme to enable young people who had been labelled as unemployable to have work experience.
I was able to successfully employ several of these young people over a number of years, which also involved a considerable amount of counselling time.
In my spare time I enjoy flying light aircraft. I obtained my Private pilots license just under four years ago, and I’m currently training to fly by instruments alone.
