Mr JOHN
MORRIS
I am a graduate of The University of Manchester with long-standing
connections with the counselling courses. My route into counselling
was through the voluntary sector, which built on my interest in
counselling. My counselling work was initially undertaken in primary
health care settings, and is now mainly concentrated in private
practice, employee assistance programmes and hospital settings.
Since qualifying as a supervisor I work with counsellors from a
variety of work settings, such as GP practices, educational institutions
and the voluntary sector. My training as a counsellor has been broad
based, and I work within a humanistic framework using Person-Centred
and Psychodynamic theory and practice. I am currently undertaking
a professional doctorate in counselling at The University of Manchester,
with research interests in volunteer counselling, and the relationship
between counselling and supervision.
