Email meAbout me
I hold individual membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
My counselling/psychotherapy model is integrative. I am a counselling lecturer, teaching counselling in an adult college in London, holding membership with the institute for learning. I currently work as a psychotherapist in private practice receiving some referrals from the NHS, insurance companies and EAPs. I also work on a structured addiction treatment programme in a prison context where my work includes 1-1 therapy, group therapy and facilitating workshops. Meditation/mindfulness, guided visualisation and EMDR feature in my way of working.
