Sabine Lees

Certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist

Certified Focusing Trainer

Personal Statement

I am a practising counsellor working from Chalfont St Peter and High Wycombe. My original training was person centred and I use focusing and a focusing oriented approach widely in my work. I use focusing if and when appropriate in a person centred way in my work with clients. I am sometimes explicit about this and sometimes it just weaves into the counselling without much explanation. I have found focusing to be a powerful and effective tool which helps my clients to move forward. I have run a focusing taster workshop which I am planning to run again this October and I am also intending to organise a longer introductory training in the near future. I am keen to promote focusing and it’s therapeutic usefulness. I would like to become a certified coordinator. I am also very interested in networking particularly with other therapists who are also focusers and use focusing in their work with clients.
