Counsellor Profile

Experienced psychotherapist and counsellor offering a service tailored to individual need which frequently results in improved emotional well-being.

Naturally, each individual’s needs are different, this is why I chose to train as an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor rather than simply specializing in one theoretical approach.
Integrative Psychotherapy means that I attend to the whole person, their perceptions, thoughts, feelings and physical experience working as a whole. It also means that I move flexibly among a range of approaches such as humanistic, psychodynamic, body psychotherapy and neuroscience, depending on your individual needs and personality.

My sessions involve you and I meeting, talking and listening together with the mutual purpose of paying careful attention to your life and how you experience it.

Therapy is a shared process so I think it is important for me to honour your privacy and personal independence and for me to create a non-judgmental nurturing environment so that you feel comfortable enough to talk about issues that are bothering you. My role is to facilitate your work in ways that respect your values, personal resources and capacity for choice within your cultural/spiritual context and recognize how they can sometimes be at odds with your actions or how you feel day to day.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I hold an Advanced Diploma and Master's Degree in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling which is a professionally UKCP accredited five year training.

Besides my private practice, I have provided short term counselling services at “Mind” and have worked with a wide range of clients with complex needs in a variety of settings including a multicultural centre for the homeless, rough sleepers, substance misusers and people with severe trauma.

Fees

My fees operate on a sliding scale depending on income from £50 to £85 per hour. I offer a few low cost places for off-peak times.

Extra Information

My corporate experience includes senior management and policy positions with an emphasis on diversity, coaching, mentoring, health work and well-being both domestically and internationally. This has helped me to understand how difficult it is to achieve a balance between home and family life and personal ambition.
