Qualifications
My therapy qualification is a four-year Diploma in Integrative Counselling. My training was at the Minster Centre in London, which is among the most respected therapy training colleges in the UK.
I am fully registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and therefore follow their codes of ethical practice and their requirements for continuing professional development.
I am in the final stages of a MA in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling.
I also hold a BSc in Psychology intercalated with Medicine.
Experience with clients
As well as running my own therapy practice, I have worked as a counsellor at Mind. I have also worked in the Minster Centre’s therapy service.
I have worked with clients for lengths of time ranging from a couple of months to several years.
What kind of therapy do I offer?
I am an integrative therapist, which means I use a blend of therapeutic approaches tailored to your particular needs and preferences.
I draw from two main bodies of therapy: psychodynamic (how our early experience influences our present, and the interplay between our conscious and unconscious minds) and humanistic-existential (the potential for positive development in every person, in the context of the givens of human existence).
My training includes a strong element of modern knowledge on neuroscience, and on how our minds and bodies connect.
I work relationally, which means I will pay attention to the relationship between us, as it might shine a light on the general relationship patterns in your life.
