I qualified as a psychodynamic counsellor/psychotherapist with WPF in 1999 after 4 years clinical training (which requires you are in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic therapy yourself throughout). I then applied myself to further specific Psychodynamic and Psychoanalytic Supervision training with Severn & Thames Psychotherapy Network in Bristol. I am delighted to support and encourage my colleagues work and thoroughly enjoy both supervision and therapeutic work.

I am a member of BAPPS, registered with UKRCP and a Senior Accredited Counsellor, Psychotherapist and Supervisor member of BACP. Please see my Find A Therapist profile: http://www.itsgoodtotalk.org.uk/therapists/in/139530/worcestershire/pershore/eleanor-creed-miles

I teach and train in psychotherapy, counselling and supervision as well as practising all of them, both in the NHS and privately. I can offer academic support and mentoring up to Doctorate level.

I grew up in London and Wiltshire, moving to Worcestershire  in October 1999.
