My Qualifications and ExperienceAfter working for many years in the commercial business sector, I changed direction in my early 30s and having completed a Psychology degree, commenced Psychotherapy and Counselling training at Regent's College in London.I undertook a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling, based on an integrative approach, covering a number of disciplines, such as psychoanalysis, humanistic and existential therapy and short training courses on areas such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the body and spirituality. I then continued by taking a more specialised course, an Advanced Diploma in Existential Psychotherapy, which I feel has not only influenced the way I work with clients but also my own personal way of being.  Aside from private practice, I have worked for a number of years in the NHS for Ealing PCT, and also held an honorary position with the mental health service of Enfield, Barnet and Harringey NHS. This experience has led to meeting clients with a huge variety of issues, such as addiction, abuse, bereavement, child/family and couple relationships, cultural issues, depression, health concerns, issues of confidence and self-esteem, sexual identity, work related pressures, redundancy, trauma and phobias, to name but a few. During this time, I have held voluntary positions with Samaritans, in a Helpline capacity and as a visitor/supporter at a local Young Offenders' Institution and I am also a volunteer for The Prince's Trust, working as a mentor to young people leaving care. |
