Profile
I am in my final stages of training as a counsellor with the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London, and am offering low cost counselling in the Newton Abbot area of Devon. I have over twenty years experience in one to one coaching work within organisations and in several countries, with different nationalities.
My practice is based on humanistic principles which means that I work with the whole person i.e. I work at the levels of mind and thinking, body and feeling, spirit and purpose.
My work is about exploring the choices we make as we lead our lives, and to lead our lives as authentically as we can. It is about developing a practice of 'presence' - connecting to our inner knowing so that we may consciously respond rather than unconsciously react from a place of defence or impulse.
I have over 20 years experience in the field of coaching and organisational development. I facilitate small groups as well as work one to one with people from all walks of life.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
I am currently completing a Masters degree in Psychology and my training in Psychosynthesis Counselling & Psychotherapy at the Institute of Psychosynthesis in London which is affiliated with Middlesex University. My approach is founded upon the work of Roberto Assagioli who was as Italian psychiatrist, a colleague of Freud and Jung. He studied in depth both Eastern and Western traditions, philosophy and mysticism. The integration and synthesis of these wisdoms makes Psychosynthesis therapy and counselling unique.
I have a Masters degree in Management and a BA (Hons) in Modern Languages. I am also a yoga and meditation teacher.
I am a student member of UKCP. I am a also a chartered member of the CIPD, and a Fellow of the RSA.
