About me
Perhaps you have been thinking of counselling for a long time but somehow never seemed to find the courage to do anything about it. Why not take the first step and give me a call?
Through my work in the NHS and counselling teams I have seen the very real and life-changing benefits that counselling can bring to a person's life when they choose to have it.
I work in an integrative way and offer sessions to individuals and couples and work in a way that can best suit you, giving you the opportunity to explore repeating patterns in your life and to choose those patterns that can enhance your life and enable you to reach the goals that you seek, having addressed the issues that bought you to counselling in the first place.
Training, qualifications & experience
Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling.
MSc in addiction counselling
Having been a nurse and later working in the City I decided to make a complete change and read for a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling. During my training I was part of a team of counsellors at the St Marylebone Healing and Training Centre in the Marylebone Road, worked for 18 months on Acute Admission Wards in Friern Hospital, Friern Barnet, and also spent three and a half years as an Hon. Psychotherapist at St Clement's Hospital, the Psychotherapy Unit for the Royal Free Hospital. I offer time-limited therapy as well as long-term psychotherapy as well as having a wide experience of offering psychotherapy to psychotherapists in training. I have a particular interest in Dissociative Identity Disorder and my thesis was on this subject.
