Profile
Working sensitively I tailor my approach to suit you and what you are experiencing. No matter whether you are seeking counselling for anxiety, anger, depression or relationship issues for example, respecting you as an individual is, I believe, the best way to enable you to find out more about yourself and to help you live a more fulfilled life.
How counselling works
Firstly it is important for you to find out whether you would like to work with me as your counsellor. To establish this the first time we meet is an assessment; a chance for me to find out more about you, what you would like to get from the therapy and for you to ask me questions. Then if we feel we are suited to working together we will discuss a working agreement. The approach may be time-limited, in other words setting a number of sessions or working open-ended.
Depending on what is comfortable for you and because my training is integrative I may work in different ways such as using cognitive techniques or creative techniques such as drawing, or visualisation.
The sessions are 50 minutes long and are confidential.
As part of my commitment as a counsellor I adhere to the BACP Code of Ethics. I work supervised which means from time to time I present a case to my supervisor, in confidence. This enables me to gain a clearer perspective and understanding about the process of the counselling taking place.
About me
Currently, I work in private practice in Chalfont St. Giles and in London at the Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Education.
My experience includes working with people experiencing mental health difficulties by helping them to achieve, long-term and sustainable goals on their journey back to work.
I have over five years' experience working in bereavement at the Peace Hospice in Watford and now at the Bereavement Services for Hounslow where I am a trainee supervisor. Loss is experienced in many ways and infertility, is an area I work with, too.
Also in the past, while working abroad I was involved in setting-up and running an organisation for people who were experiencing emotional stress often to the point they were experiencing suicidal thoughts. Refugees and asylum seekers were amongst the group of people we supported.
