About me

Once you have made the choice to seek counselling sourcing a therapist can present its own challenging issues; ‘Where do you start? Below is a blog I wrote for Psychologies Magazine lifelabs, to assist you to do just that.

Why? - Because the therapeutic relationship is fundamental to any model of counselling theory.

About me:

• My private practice was established in 2008
• I have over 15 years experience of working with mental health
• I am a psychological wellbeing training consultant for various organisations
• I am affiliated with 'The Integrated Practice' - 127 Harley Street.
• I am an accredited member of the BACP

Please read on if you would like information as to the way in which I work;

As a fully qualified Integrative counsellor l collaboratively select which model of therapy is applicable/appropriate for each individual clients needs from a wide range of theories (CBT, psychodynamic, person-centred, existential, humanistic)

This approach is based on the fact we are all unique and belief that no one model can fully capture this. By having experience and practice in a range of approaches I am able to tailor the therapy to each client's specific needs. This entire process is based on the establishment of a genuine relationship between counsellor and client which in my experience stands at the ‘core’ of any therapeutic union. I will endeavour to facilitate the client to achieve better overall well-being, make the best choices for themselves and establish what steps to take to move forward at their own pace. All within a confidential space where the client can express emotions and personal issues in a non-judgemental environment.

I am a client-focused therapist, which permits you to direct which type of therapy you may feel you require, say for example, purely CBT - A goal-oriented therapy which facilitates you to unravel and identify current issues concerning dysfunctional thoughts, emotions and behaviours. You may require exploring past experiences which are preventing you to move forward or future-focused practice with the aim of facilitating you to determine and achieve personal goals, interests and objectives.
