About Me
I am an experienced counsellor in private practice since 1995 having completed advanced level training in Psychodynamic Counselling & Psychotherapy.
I work with individuals and when appropriate couples.
My referrals come from previous clients and a range of health professionals and colleagues, including psychiatrists, cranial osteopaths, acupuncturists and skin specialists.
I have been working with the Pembridge Villas Medical Practice for over 6 years.
I have specialist expertise in handling crisis and trauma-related problems.
This stems from my work with the Homeless Health Counselling Team, which I created and managed for
Westminster PCT, until 2007. My project won the National BACP Award 2005 for the most innovative
scheme in Britain, for the Advancement of Counselling & Psychotherapy.
(My picture on the front page was taken at the national award ceremony.)
My homeless counselling group, as part of a larger multi-disciplinary team subsequently won the National Health & Social Care Award 2006.
I completed an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Supervision in 2006 and this allows me to supervise other counsellors and groups. I myself have ongoing supervision to ensure I offer a continued high standard of counselling.
I facilitate group sessions of reflective practice and clinical supervision for a number of organisations. I also run workshops; advise, train & lecture to a variety of other National agencies.
