Counsellor Profile80% plus of my clients feel better in a handful of sessions.Using the PROVEN and EFFECTIVE Human Givens approach, I practice in South Woodford and Harley Street - offering Counselling, Psychotherapy and Hypnotherapy to North London, East London, Central London and Essex. Human Givens attracted me because it made sense, it was free from the jargon and misinformation which infects a lot of counselling and indeed the medically based treatments of mental illness. And I could see how it would help many people. Working from the Human Givens perspective and training, virtually all distress can be understood and relieved - by uncovering and healing resources that have been damaged, overwhelmed or long hidden and by working productively and creatively toward getting essential emotional needs better met. Want to find out more about Human Givens? Visit my site or read the articles listed below. I am now in my fifties and worked for many years in the Civil Service and then the City. It is self evident to me that if people are coming in real distress, that I should be looking to help them as quickly as I can. And that as far as possible I should check out how I do with those I see if only to build up my confidence that indeed I am helping. And I can testify that being confident (because I know that the large majority of people who come to me improve significantly or recover completely) transmits to those who come which helps their recovery process. I ask all my clients to evaluate their experience and the changes they have noticed over the previous week - at every session. And I follow up, if this is appropriate. I also have ready access to experienced colleagues, if I need good advice. Conservatively, 80% of those I see improve or completely recover most of them within 4 sessions. Many experience terrible events or have endured lengthy periods of stress, anxiety, loneliness or abuse - and for some, these go back into their childhood. And others are burdened in all kinds of ways that stop them living satisfying lives today. My experience is that most can be helped quickly and in ways that surprise, delight and liberate them. Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)HG.Dip.P - the post graduate practitioner qualification in the Human GivensMHGI - member of the Human Givens Institute I also have the Advanced Post-Graduate Studies Certificate in Human Givens. GQHP - on the General Hypnotherapy Register I have been practicing as a Human Givens counsellor for four years now and as the approach is still new (dating from the late 1990s), I am one of the more experienced HG therapists. I am accredited with the Human Givens Institute, abide by the HGI code of ethics and am subject to HGI disciplinary and complaints procedures. I am also a member of the General Hypnotherapy Register. My Specialist Areas Anxieties including around professional performance, depressions, PTSD, obsessive behaviours including eating disorders, loss of self confidence, addictions, anger and needs for meaning and redirection. Also stress reduction, the alleviation of physical symptoms of stress (e.g. chronic pain, IBS) and the resolution of personal and work problems. Working with young people (from my role as a schools counsellor in a diverse London comprehensive). Areas of counselling I deal withFeesMy normal session fee is £70 - for around an hour. I do not clock watch and am flexible over the length of each session.Concessions are always available - never will I refuse to see anyone on the basis of cost. I will travel with prior arrangement. I hold CRB clearance. Extra InformationI am part of the Human Givens Practice Research Network - the most comprehensive nationwide evaluation ever for a single approach to counselling. And since I started as an HG therapist I have evaluated and logged all the clients I have seen.What do I find? That over 65% experience significant, strong and as far as I can tell, lasting improvement. That another 15% also feel better, but less noticeably. Around 10% do not stay the course for a multitude of reasons and so are not evaluated. And less than 10% experience no or only modest improvement. And very important - virtually no one feels worse. On average, I see clients for between 3 and 4 sessions each. This compares favourably with the very best results available from the wide range of research studies. Member Organisation(s)
