About

Christopher J Hibberd, MA(Dist), BA(Hons); BACP(Accred.); CS Accred. (ACC) supervisor; LSM Accredited Mediator

A MASTERS AND SECONDARY DOCTORATE RESEARCH SUPERVISOR I am currently AVAILABLE to supervise students undertaking research.

My qualifications include an MA(Dist) in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University, London, a BA (Hons) in Human Geography from the University of Reading, BPS clinical supervion and Mediation accreditation with the London School of Mediation. I also have RSA Level 4 NVQs in Assessment, Verification and Evaluation.

I am widely experienced in existential / phenomenological and integrative therapy, learning and leadership consultancy, training, executive and personal coaching and mediation.

My experience encompasses the public (e.g. NHS, local government and UK Sport), charity (e.g. Arthritis Care) and financial and commercial (e.g. Goldman Sachs, Tesco and Specsavers, The London Clinic).

My client and research interests encompass: Psychotherapy: Adolescents lifespan challenges, impaired parenting and childhood trauma, life-long anxiety and depression, fear and panic, Borderline Personality Disorder, fear of isolation and abandonment, resolving disputes in working and personal relationships,  runner / athlete performance, Mind / body perspectives and the development  of cultural values.

I am particularly passionate about HEURISTIC, REFLEXIVE AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL RESEARCH - which framed my MA dissertation as the child of a chaotic mum (diagnosed with borderline personality disorder).

A believer in pluralism, I love exploring the contradictions and paradoxes of human existence and how they can be held sympathetically. Amongst other great thinkers, I am a fan of Kierkegaard, Sartre, Yalom, Witmore, Socrates, Gallway, Todres and Wittgenstein. June 2021
