Counsellor Profile

From adolescence through to late adulthood, there are certain times when we need help addressing problems and issues that may cause us emotional distress or make us feel overwhelmed. Some of the reasons people come to me for short or long term counselling include:

• Anxiety, Stress and bullying in the work Place
• Anger Management
• Anger, Abusive & Violent relationships
• Boredom
• Bereavement and loss
• Cultural Issues
• Depression
• Dyslexia and learning difficulties
• Feeling lonely and Isolated
• Improving Performance
• Redundancy
• Relationships
• Sexuality
• Self Harm
• Unable to look at feelings
• Unable to talk about what is going on
• Work Issues

My practise is in The City at Toynbee Studios, Commercial Street, E1
Toynbee Studios is around the corner from Aldgate East station (London Underground) .A ten minutes walk from Liverpool Street station (London Underground and mainline railway) .Close to Whitechapel Art Gallery, London Guildhall University and Brick Lane.
I also practise in Cheam near Sutton in Surrey.

I am totally committed to providing counselling in a safe supportive, confidential and non judgemental environment. I work with people over the age of 18.

Training, Qualifications & Experience (more info)

Experience:
In my training I experienced working at GP's surgery working with many different issues. I also worked in bereavement agencies and a telephone helpline that helped with sexuality and sexual advice.
At the moment I work as a volunteer counsellor with the Everyman Project which aims to help men to change their violent or abusive behaviour.
I also work for a large organisation as a Trauma Incident manager offering support to large companies. I work with the Company’s when they may have employees that have experience a traumatic event. I also work for the organisation as a telephone counsellor.
I have a private practise working from home in Cheam and at Toynbee Hall in the City.

Qualifications:
My initial training was working Person Centred. I completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling based in Psychodynamic theory (Psychodynamic counselling is based on empathy, acceptance and understanding) and working Inter Culturally. I have a primary certificate in CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) where examining our feelings, or emotions, and our behaviour, as well as our thinking may lead to change. I now work and are informed by integrating different theories. Every person is unique and one theory does not fit all. Research indicates that the most probable factors determining a successful outcome to therapy are the personal qualities of therapist and client and the relationship between them, rather than the particular approach used. As part of my professional development I am in the final stages of a degree course in integrative counselling.
I am a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy) and I am working towards accreditation. I work with the BACP code of ethics.
