Counsellor Profile

Counselling

Life can be blissful, but we are often thrown off course by its complications. Whether you are experiencing inner conflict, or your relationships with others are less than satisfying, counselling or therapy can make a difference. Or whether you are looking for more meaning and would simply like to take some time to review the past in order to make more satisfying choices in the future I can work alongside you, challenging you as well as supporting you in gaining greater self awareness, and insight .

I have worked for many years in GP surgeries offering both short and long term psychotherapy and counselling, whilst maintaining a private practice. I deliver training to doctors, focusing on enhancing their communication with patients. Although based in Hampstead, my clients come from both inside of and outside of London; clients come from diverse cultures, backgrounds and ages. I am a trained Gestalt psychotherapist and work humanistically and integratively.

Coaching

According to the British Psychological Society ‘coaching is fast becoming established as the development option of choice for managers in organisations'. Coaching seeks to develop a person’s skills and knowledge so that their job performance improves, hopefully leading to the achievement of organisational objectives’ With a background in both psychology and in business, I am well placed to work with both individuals and with organisations, helping to address ‘blindspots’, looking at communication skills as well family/work/life balance. I do not see it as necessary to differentiate between life and executive coaching, but consider the whole person to see what may be preventing happy, productive working.

I am a senior accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, with over 20 years of experience of working with individuals, couples and groups.

I see clients in Hampstead, which is in very easy reach of public transport and parking is free.
