Rafaël Dupré, BSc, MBCAP, PGCE

Life! There are moments when it feels completely overwhelming, confusing or simply too difficult. Everyone struggles with life’s complexities and from time to time, we all need someone who will listen, who will understand and who will help us to get things back on track.

My name is Rafaël Dupré - I am originally from Belgium, although I have lived in India, the UK and France and have divided my time between private practices in London, rural Kent and France. I have over 20 years’ experience working in the broader mental health arena. My early career was spent working specifically with young people, either individually or within their family unit, to overcome issues ranging from social exclusion to relationship difficulties and the effects of addiction or abuse. During this time I developed an interest in solution-focused therapy, including the Bruges Model, as a means of fostering change so that clients not only benefit from greater understanding, but also have the tools to implement those changes on a very practical level.

Today my practice is split between working with individuals and couples from all walks of life and I provide therapy for a hugely diverse range of issues. I also work extensively with young people aged 12 to 18 years.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and work within the BACP Ethical Framework. I attend regular sessions with a BACP-accredited supervisor to ensure consistently high standards of care.

Alongside my clinical work, I deliver coaching for individuals who want to become professional counsellors and I am registered with the Teaching Regulation Authority.

I have completed additional courses in Contextual Therapy, Family Therapy, Working with victims of (sexual) abuse, addiction (sex, substances, porn), attachment related difficulties and relational issues.
