About me
I am an experienced counsellor (individuals and couples) and coach with a private practice in Chiswick Park, West London.
How counselling can help
Counselling is the opportunity to release thoughts and emotions in a safe, neutral environment with someone outside your usual circles, whom you can trust to keep things entirely confidential.
Articulating your difficulties and working with a sensitive professional, who is trained to use a variety of skills can help you understand yourself better and see things from a different perspective. Counselling can help you make sense of your past and how it might be affecting your life. It can also help heal deep inner wounds and bring restoration and a greater sense of peace.
My approach
As an integrative counsellor, I draw on a wealth of resources to meet your own specific needs. My approach is flexible and creative. Aspects of established therapeutic models such as Person Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are incorporated, as appropriate. We will also look together at your present and past influences.
A key to therapy is the development of new perspectives, attitudes and ways of relating to ourselves and others in order to live in a freer, more productive way. I offer an empathic and non-judgmental space where you can connect with and make sense of your deeper thoughts and emotions and change any unhelpful behavioural patterns triggered by negative thought processes. This can help you develop more self-confidence and self-awareness, a stronger sense of your personal identity and positively influence your personal, social and professional relationships. Counselling can also help you find direction and purpose and positively influence your hopes and dreams for the future.
Finding a counsellor and beginning counselling can be a daunting experience and it is my goal to make it as clear and collaborative a process as possible, be it for short or longer term counselling.
My overall aim is to be a source of support, hope and encouragement in order to help you live a more fulfilled, joyful and contented life.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss your individual needs, to ask any questions or to book an introductory session with no ongoing commitment.
Training, qualifications & experience
My counselling experience has been enriched by my background in the corporate world. Prior to working as a counsellor I was a partner in a leading family law firm in the City, practising as a solicitor and collaborative family lawyer for over 12 years. I therefore bring to my work first-hand knowledge of the challenges and stresses one can face in the workplace, with particular insight into the struggle to balance all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional, and of building and maintaining healthy relationships.
I have considerable experience in working with people who are in crisis, going through divorce, separation, having relationship/family issues or are struggling over difficulties concerning their children.
I have broad experience offering both short term, time limited counselling to clients as well as longer term counselling. I work with both individuals and couples and see clients either face to face or online.
I hold the following qualifications:
- Dip. in Counselling, University of Roehampton
- Dip. in Theology and Counselling, University of Middlesex
- Cert. in theological and pastoral studies, University of Oxford
- Bachelor of Laws (HONS), first class, University of Exeter
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
The Association of Christian Counsellors and Linked Professions is a professional body representing and setting standards for Christian counselling and care in the UK. The organisation is made up of various different membership categories, including Counsellor and Accredited, and requires all members working as counsellors to undertake Continuous Professional Development on a regular basis.
