Counsellor Profile

Psychotherapy is a "talking" therapy. It is an opportunity to meet with a professional on a regular basis to talk about yourself and any difficulties you might be facing. As an integrative psychotherapist I pay attention to the whole person, considering his/her thoughts, feelings and bodily expressions. I consider the symbolic as well as explore the actual issues at the source of the problem. I would try to create a non-judgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be explored. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is in itself therapeutic and would attempt to work from a transparent and congruent attitude.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I was trained at the Minster Centre where I received an MA in integrative psychotherapy. Before training I worked as a secondary school teacher where I developed a particular interest in emerging adulthood and the struggle required to mature into a functioning adult. I have worked at a leading NHS hospital where the suffering experienced by patients and relatives alike have brought depth to exisitential realities (death, loss & ageing). I work with both short-term (12 sessions and less) and long term (12 and more sessions) clients.
I am UKCP registered and a member of the BACP. I work within the code of ethics governed by the BACP.

Personality Disorders

Phobias

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Other areas of counselling I deal with

While I work with a wide range of concerns my particular areas of interest include: emerging adulthood (18-30 years old); relocation support; family problems; parenting issues; single parenting; somatic (body) expression - illness as metaphor; and the creative process (working with creative block).

Fees

Initial consultations are £50 (Queen's Park) and £65 (Central London). Future fees are discussed during the first session.
I offer a few low cost placements.

Extra Information

The first session: The first session will last 50 minutes. The therapist and client will talk about what is is the client would like from therapy and whether therapy would be helpful. If the client and therapist decided to work together an agreement about time, frequency, length of therapy and payment will be established.
