Dee Alapafuja

Dee’s aim is to work collaboratively with you to achieve your objectives and to develop skills that you can use outside the session. Dee considers you to be the expert on yourself and his role is to empower and enable you to examine and self-reflect and come up with suitable achievable outcomes. He will be providing a confidential and safe place for you to explore your issues without any prejudice or judgement in order to build up a rapport to enhance therapeutic support. You are unique so your sessions will be tailored to your specific needs and requirements. His role is not only to help you explore yourself but also how you relate to others.

There are times when a well-being MOT is needed in order to review where we are on our life journey and how that collates with where we want to be and how we can remain or get back on track.

Dee is a fully qualified therapist and registered with the BACP. He is currently completing his Level 5 Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling. His training is underlined by the Person Centred Approach, but he is able to utilize other approaches in order to help create healthy coping strategies and achieve a good work-life balance. He has worked with both adults and children ages 7 to 18.

His background has always been in the customer focused environment and listening to and enabling people, empowering and motivating them for the past 30 years. He grew up in a multi-religious household and currently volunteers in a substance dependency agency. His areas of specialty include short-term solution focused therapy, cultural issues, religious and sexual diversity, personal relationships both within and outside ourselves and working with children.
