About me
Touch Base Therapy Services
I am a BACP registered and senior accredited, attachment-based integrative counsellor/psychotherapist and supervisor.
I have experience of working in the NHS and private sector, offering short and long term therapy to individuals in central London (Waterloo, SE1/ Lambeth North, Vauxhall / Albert Embankment areas).
I work by looking at attachment styles, developmental stages, patterns of behaviour and facilitate inner child work, helping to connect past experiences to the present, whilst seeking to bring about desired changes.
Goals can be raising self-esteem and awareness, relieving depression, anxiety, panic attacks and traumatic stress, or improving relationships and looking at identity and/or inter-cultural issues, for example.
I provide a safe and confidential space for clients to identify their inner needs, recognise and validate their experiences and manage feelings and emotions.
Expectations and reasons for wanting to have counselling vary and I am more than happy to answer any questions you might have or to discuss your circumstances and needs. You can email or phone me and I will get back to you.
I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy, and follow their code of ethics), which you can learn more about on their website: www.bacp.co.uk.
