Email meAbout me
I work with a wide range of emotional difficulties stemming from life experiences whether from early childhood, adolescence or current circumstances. My approach to working with people is essentially Humanistic, and Person Centred. My focus is on the person or people I am working with and the personal aspects they wish to explore to discover and develop a greater sense of self. The first session is a good opportunity for you to get to know me and the way I would work with you. Both short term, typically 10 sessions, and long term are available. I am a qualified accredited counsellor registered with BACP. I have been counselling since 2007.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified as a counsellor in 2009 with a level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling. Throughout my training I worked as a volunteer counsellor in a Sixth Form College in East London. I also worked at Face2Face - a counselling service for young people in Leyton and in a GP Practice in Enfield. I undertook further study with the Level 5 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling which I completed in 2011 and continued as a counsellor at the GP practice working with adults. Additionally I have attended CPD in couples counselling and working with young people. I am currently working in private practice at a Natural Health Centre in Winchmore Hill.
I am a qualified teacher with over 20 years experience of working with young people in schools and further education. I have experience of working with the NHS as a Mental Health Act Manager for BHE Mental Health Trust.
