I am Sigurd Miedema. I hold qualifications in psychology and counselling. I am trained in a range of therapeutic approaches and have the knowledge, understanding and experience to adapt the therapeutic process to your individual needs. I fully acknowledge and respect that you are the expert in your life, and my role is to help you access your own strengths and find the solutions that will lead to long-term and effortless recovery.
As an ACA Level 4 member with a master’s degree in counselling, I hold the highest tiers of both professional membership and academic qualification.I have considerable experience working in individual and group therapy across multiple settings including private practice, hospitals, prison, drug and alcohol rehab, and men’s behaviour change programs.
I believe that mental health symptoms and emotional distress are expressions of implicit learning that helped us survive trauma and attachment experiences in our lives. Together we can find alternative solutions through memory consolidation and aim for long-term and effortless recovery.
