About me and my therapy practice
I have over fifteen years experience of working face to face with clients.
I started my career working in a treatment centre in central London specialising in addiction, primarily problematic alcohol use. I have worked in community alcohol services and I currently work as an employee assistance program therapist for a large company. Working with addiction opened the door to working with many other issues.
I have experience of facilitating various therapeutic groups as well as working face to face.
The main therapeutic approach I use is person centred which emphasises the importance of the relationship between the counsellor and client. I am warm and genuine which has been fed back to me over the years.
I also believe that our past strongly influences our future In particular our relationship with ourself and others. My counselling approach is flexible and not a one size fits all.
Most recently I have worked offering solution focused brief therapy, psychological first aid and trauma stabilisation.
If you are interested in working with me I encourage you to call under no obligation. This will help you to get a better sense of me and help you to decide if you would like to meet for an initial assessment. I can also answer your questions and discuss what you would like to change.
Practice description
I am offering online and telephone sessions only.
My hours are very flexible and I value the importance of your therapy sessions taking place at a time and day that fits in with your schedule.
My first session
During our first session we will get to know each other and I will ask more questions than I would in a normal session.
