Courtney Shipley: Psychotherapist
Qualifications
I have a bachelors degree in Arts with honours in Psychology. I also hold a masters degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA).
Psychotherapy
I work for a not for profit organization in the AOD (alcohol and other drugs) and Corrections space. I also work as a group facilitator in a Men's Behaviour Change Program helping perpetrators of violence confront and change difficult patterns of behaviour. In these roles, specialising in behaviour change, I have come to understand that change happens when people are encouraged and supported in a non-judgemental space.
As a skilled and experienced worker in the field of behaviour change, I am accustomed to dealing with some of the most difficult life situations and existential concerns and able to respond to them with care, gentle guidance and evidence-based practice.
Experience with Stoicism
I am a host of the Brisbane Stoics and have been coordinating meetings and presenting for the Brisbane Stoics for the last two years. for further information or to get involved visit www.brisbanestoics.com
Experience with Philosophy
During my undergraduate degree I studied philosophy alongside my major (psychology). In recent years I co-founded the facebook bookclub 'let's read:philosophy, literature and psychotherapy'. We have read many ancient authours including Seneca, Cicero, St. Augustine, Boethius, Aristotle and Plato.
