Training, qualifications & experience

I'm an Integrative Humanistic psychotherapist with a Masters in Clinical Psychology. I'm also trained in E.M.D.R. therapy, and arts therapy. I specialize in working with:

• anxiety related issues
• relationship problems including separation, affairs, and divorce
• family issues
• sex and sexual identity questions
• depression
• Culture related problems

Most of my career has been spent in private practice working with individuals struggling with the issues mentioned. I find that in the time I've been working I've learned that people are not only amazingly resilient, but also that people often grow from life crisis', and that depressions and difficulties with anxiety are also in time sources of strength. I don't think that you just need to be positive and everything else is sorted. I think life is complex, and often what we think is a weakness, or a bad event, in time we see differently. I'm happy to talk if you feel you need.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

• Expatriate therapy
• Immigration Issues
• Third Culture Kid
• Third Culture Experiences
• Culture Shock
• Counter culture shock
• Working abroad
