Ed Magee

My name is Edward Magee, I usually go by Ed and he/him.

As a counsellor I work in a non-judgmental and creative way. I believe that your choices are key to your own life satisfaction. When there is difficulty in life it can often be found in our beliefs of ourselves, formed in relationships. By having a relationship that isn’t shaming but accepting it allows for a change in the beliefs, feelings and thoughts. Which in turn allows you to make different choices and increase life satisfaction.

I am a BACP, British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, member. I am also a CPCAB, Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, teacher, and I have regular supervision to make sure my work is safe and current. 

Where I work

I work at counselling@unit12 in Winchester, the full address for which can be found on the map at bottom of the page.

I also offer video call and outdoor sessions. If you would like to discuss either of these options, please contact us.

 How I work

I believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the most significant factor to success in therapy. We, as humans, are beings who relate to others. One of the most painful things we can experience is disconnection and therefore human distress can be seen to be as a relational difficulty. I aim to offer a connecting thinking relationship and to achieve that I work in an eclectic way. That means I use a variety of models to help my clients; psychodynamic, humanistic, cognitive and others.

It can be daunting and scary to come to counselling, unsure if it will make a difference. However I know, both from personal experience of working with clients and from the research, that if you can risk to share enough then it can make a difference.

I use a variety of approaches when working with clients. From the traditional talk therapy to a variety of other approaches. My room is specifically set up in a way that allows for these approaches. I will be lead by you to work in the way that you need.
