About me
I started my work as a Counsellor/ Psychotherapist in 2005 and I qualified in 2007. I am currently a Senior Eating Disorders Consultant for a treatment centre in South Kensington London where a facilitate group therapy and see client referrals for EMDR- Trauma therapy. I work in private practice in Hampstead on Monday’s, Online on Wednesdays and in South Kensington SW7 on Thursdays. I work with clients in the UK and overseas.
I have worked as a counsellor both in the UK and in South Africa at various well known treatment facilities and have over a decade of experience working with various client groups including addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, low self-worth, trauma, learning disabilities and clients with family and relationship issues. However, I have extensive experience of working with eating disorders and I am considered an expert within this field.
I use an integrative approach which means I use various therapeutic modalities in order best meet the needs of my clients. I fit therapeutic approaches to clients and not clients to therapeutic approaches. This is because I believe everyone is unique. Some of the approaches I use are person centered therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR, systemic and psychodynamic.
My aim as a counsellor is to provide an opportunity and space to explore difficulties in a safe environment. My purpose is to help clients to see things more clearly and occasionally offer alternative viewpoints. I help clients to understand patterns of behaviours and how these behaviours are linked to their history. This gives my clients greater insight and self-awareness and therefore the ability to make changes. I also aim to equip my clients with new coping mechanisms and strategies
I became a counsellor after seeking help for some of my own difficulties in my late teens and early twenties. I believe that my personal experiences as well as professional experiences have shaped the way in which I work. I am very passionate about what I do and feel truly grateful to have been able to play a part in other people’s journeys.
If you are looking for a genuine, committed, caring and knowledgeable counsellor/psychotherapist then please drop me an email me.
