COUNSELLING
MEET THE TUTORS
KEVIN With over 25 years’ experience in education, Kevin saw an increasing focus placed on wellbeing, which ignited a keen interest in mental health issues, and the start of a new career in counselling. With over 2 years voluntary counselling, followed by a further 4 years in private practice, Kevin then embarked on a career as a HE lecturer here at Preston College. Kevin has trained in person centred and integrative counselling through to Masters level, and is currently studying a Professional Doctorate, researching mindfulness in psychotherapy which he is due to complete this year.
IAN Teaching and studying at Preston College has been part of Ian’s life since starting his counselling studies here in 2011. As a counselling lecturer, Ian recognises the teaching team must remain in practice and keep up to date with their own development and he is currently studying for a Masters Degree in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. “The teaching approach within the counselling department at Preston College is a rich blend of theoretical study, hands on skills practice and underpinned with personal development.”
STEVE Steve embarked on his counselling career late in life, having started his career in education as a drama teacher, street theatre performer and community artist, before retraining as a Further Education tutor. “My teaching style has a root in relating to people, fostering change and stimulating creativity. I love teaching because I meet people of all ages and backgrounds wanting to discover the world of counselling.”
