Profile

I offer warm, respectful and non-judgemental understanding and I will work with you in the way that best suits your needs and goals. I have a lot of experience with clients from working in agencies in London, Swindon and Oxford. Since January 2009, I have been based at a counselling service run by Oxfordshire County Council. In my private practice, I work with clients who have wide-ranging circumstances, including:

  • Understanding and managing anger and rage;
  • Working through depression, fear, anxiety and panic, or traumatic experiences;
  • Coming to terms with bereavement and loss;
  • Resolving complex, difficult or painful situations and relationships;
  • Managing a change and coming to decisions involving stressful events;
  • Dealing with life-stage transitions and personal identity;
  • Cultural adaptation;
  • Understanding and controlling addictive behaviours;
  • Changing familiar patterns, habits and life-style;
  • Enhancing one’s creative potential and learning skills;
  • Coaching and mentoring in the workplace.

I also work with couples keen to resolve relationship difficulties as well as with children or young people/families who wish to work through life-changing circumstances or school-related challenges.

Training, Qualifications & Experience

I have been counselling clients in individual sessions since October 2006. Since 2009, I have also worked for a counselling agency run by the Oxfordshire County Council.

I specialise in Systemic and Family Constellations Work (SCW), which is an extremely effective, solution-oriented method. I work with groups and individuals and I have set up a training in SCW.

In addition, I completed four years of training in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy at Metanoia Institute, London (in 2008) and since then I have been working towards an MA in Transactional Analysis Psychotherapy (TA), Middlesex University. 

I also work as a psychological anthropologist and I have a doctorate in social anthropology (University of Oxford); an MSc in History and Anthropology and an MA in Race and Ethnic Studies. I have numerous publications, including: ‘Emotions in the Field: the psychology and anthropology of anthropological fieldwork’ (2010) and ‘Anthropological Fieldwork: a Relational Process’ (2010).
