Michael Mulkerrin - PCE- CfD Tutor /Supervisor /Assessor
I began my exploration of psychological therapies while working with the inmates of several London prisons. I initially trained in CBT based offending behaviour programmes under the aegis of the Forensic Psychology Department.
I went on to study Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Person- Centred Therapy at Wealden Psychology Institute and Bexhill College, achieving a combined Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
I later gained a Diploma in Trauma Therapy from Wealden before qualifying as an EMDR psychotherapist in order to treat trauma and PTSD more effectively. I went on to develop skills in trauma groupwork, training in GTEP with Elan Shapiro.
I have attended residential workshops with Paul Gilbert, the founder of Compassion Focused Therapy (CfT) and find the philosophy and theory fit seamlessly with both my PCE-CfD practice and my work with trauma.
For ten years I worked in the Primary Care Counselling Service, part of IAPT in Hastings and Rother. While there I trained in PCE-CfD and finally found a way of working that seems to fit with how I want to be in the world.
I am passionate about this model and have subsequently become more and more involved with helping Metanoia to support practitioners of PCE-CfD. I offer monthly skills workshops, assess submissions from trainees, deliver CPD days, facilitate the 6-day PCE-CfD training programme and in the summer of 2022 I joined the team delivering the brand new 3-year NHS Psychotherapeutic Counselling training programme (PCE-CfD). My latest role is as a tutor on the Supervision Diploma
I am also employed as a band 8c Trauma Specialist at East Sussex NHS Healthcare Trust treating staff of the local hospitals.
I offer supervision and therapy from my private practice in Hastings where I see people face to face and, because of the post-covid online way of working, I also have clients in far-flung places such as Poland, Canada and Ecuador.
