About Me and Counselling

I am a Gestalt Counsellor, I have worked in a further education institution, an LGBT+ organisation offering 1:1 counselling in London. I freelance for a psychology service as an Associate Counsellor offering 1:1 counselling for staff and clients who have experienced homelessness. I deliver Reflective Practice Group Sessions for staff members in a range of organisations and 1:1 Reflective Practice. I work as a counsellor for the NHS and in partnership with a social enterprise organisation offering counselling for service users and staff members and I run my private practice

I bring creativity into my work as a counsellor to support people to raise their awareness, with an understanding due to barriers of language talking can become challenging, so I can provide a space to support other ways to find expression if needed.

I am a Buddhist, and this I feel connects to my values and humanistic approach rooted within Gestalt Counselling, treating each person with respect, and equality, being non-judgmental and embracing. I believe everyone has the potential to change, to become their authentic self, if they choose to, this is at the heart of my counselling.

I am a registered accredited member (MBACP Accred), of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Profession. I am a member of UKAGP (The UK Association for Gestalt Practitioners) and ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online). I have a Diploma in Gestalt Counselling, a Graduate Certificate in Humanistic Counselling Skills, a Graduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution and Mediation and a BA Honours in Drama, Film and Television and currently undertaking my Master's in Gestalt Psychotherapy.

What Happens Next

If you feel after reading this information you would like to make contact you can email or telephone (email is usually best)

I will arrange an initial meeting with you, this is ‘an assessment’, to get a clearer view of who you are and why you want to come to counselling. I will make this as relaxed as possible, with a few formal questions combined with an informal discussion. It will help you to gain an understanding of how I work too. Here are a few things which may be covered:

• Clarity of what counselling is (if you have never attended counselling before)
  
• An understanding of why you are coming to counselling at this time
  
• Your brief history
  
• Your online safety
  
• Confidentiality
  
• How I work
  

You will also have a chance to speak freely in your own words, ask questions and see if you feel comfortable working with me. After this, if we both feel we can work together a time, day and date can be arranged to continue your counselling sessions and I will let you know what happens next. The Assessment session is £70.00 and lasts for 50 minutes, there is no obligation to continue with counselling after the assessment session if you do not feel too.
