Counsellor Profile

(Click on the hyperlink above for my comprehensive website)

First and foremost, I am a mainstream, clinical counsellor - I am not an alternative therapy practitioner. I work primarily with individuals, and will work with all issues. I am an integrative counsellor, influenced by Klein, Winnicott and Clarkson, but use a synthesis of approaches including CBT to inform my work. I am very interested in attachment, loss, and relationships.
I aim to provide a warm, accepting, effective and ethical service. I am happy to work in focussed, time-limited frames, as well as longer term counselling relationships.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

I am a Member of BACP (M.BACP). I gained my postgraduate diploma in Therapeutic Counselling in 2000, at the University of Greenwich. I gained a Masters degree in the same subject in 2003. I am currently submitting my Accreditation for BACP. I work for, and have been involved with for Cruse Bereavement Care (Greenwich), since 1998. I am service co-ordinator - responsible for the management of a team of thirty counsellors, six supervisors, and a caseload of hundreds of people. I am also a trained supervisor, and a counselling trainer. I am a representative for Cruse on the Greenwich Emergency Planning board.
I am an experienced telephone counsellor. I have worked in college settings as a student and staff counsellor (1999 - 2004). I also hold an MSc (1997) in the Sociology of Health and Welfare, and BA in Sociology (1993).
