About me and my therapy practice
Thank you for viewing my profile. Whether you have had counselling before or this is your first enquiry, finding the right counsellor can be a further challenge in itself. There will be many reasons why you have taken this important and courageous step towards your self care and growth. You may be feeling depressed, anxious, isolated or overwhelmed with life. You may be grieving after the loss of a loved one. There may be things that you want to unravel from your past that are hindering you in the present. Or you may simply need a space to just be, to talk through your worries and be listened to.
Counselling Qualifications and Experience:
- I hold a Âé¶¹Ô´´ accredited Diploma in Gestalt Counselling and a Certificate in Humanistic Counselling.
- I am an accredited member of the Âé¶¹Ô´´ and I adhere to their Code of Ethics and Practice. My work is regularly supervised by Âé¶¹Ô´´ accredited supervisors. I hold professional insurance and am DBS checked.
- In addition to my private client work, I have worked as a NHS talking therapy counsellor for a number years and have recently completed the NHS practitioner qualification in Counselling for Depression (PCE CfD).
-I also hold a Certificate in the Therapeutic Use of Mindfulness and regularly attend courses that explore creative writing as a therapeutic tool.
Other Qualifications and Experience:
- I hold a PGCE teaching qualification in Modern Foreign Languages (French and Spanish) and have taught across London schools for many years.
Practice description
I work with individual adults of all ages and also with trainee student counsellors. Concessionary rates are available.
I can offer you a secure, compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore your feelings and any aspects of your life where you feel stuck so that wounds can be healed and new paths can be forged.
My training is in Gestalt therapy and I use this and other approaches, such as person centred counselling and mindfulness in the sessions. In addition, I believe in the unlocked therapeutic potential of creative expression such as writing, poetry and art and am happy to incorporate this into our sessions if this is something you would like to explore.
