My Experience Includes Working with Diverse Communities & A Variety of Presenting Issues
I currently work in a private practice and also undertake consultancy assignments. I can offer you my experience gained from many years of working in a variety of healthcare and voluntary sector organisations. These included Edenhall Marie Curie Cancer Hospice, The Armed Forces and various alcohol and drug organisations in London.
I have developed much experience in providing counselling, group work and clinical supervision. I have experience being a primary tutor on both the person-centred and humanistic counselling training at The Metanoia Institute.
My first training was as a person-centred counsellor. My second training has been as a relational integrative psychotherapist. You can expect a skilled helping relationship in which I will listen carefully to you and seek to understand your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through this kind of empathic relationship, I can act as a mirror, bringing fresh understanding, and enabling you to change difficult patterns of experience.
I have also had additional training in solution-focused therapy. This approach is more suited for people who are seeking to use counselling for a short period of time.
