I am currently working as an independent therapist, I have experience working for Croydon Council as a School Counsellor youth agencies and also in the City for a large Corporate Financial Establishment as a Staff Wellbeing Psychotherapist.

I have extensive experience  working with young people from the age of 11 years old and  with Adults  in my Corporate job , for  the Various EAPs and  medical insurance companies and of course my private practice.

  

I am fully qualified, being trained in the Person Centered and Humanistic Models of Counselling, this means that I work with the Client using the 3         main Core conditions of Empathy, Congruence, and Unconditional Positive Regard.  This enables me to support my clients to affect change within their lives and to empower them to reach their fullest potentials.

I now work as an Integrative Humanistic therapist, meaning that I integrate other Humanistic models into my sessions, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, and Existential Therapies including some CBT where suitable, as well as the advanced use of Mindfulness and EMDR.

Working in a truly client centered way means that I have the belief that my clients have the fullest capacity to heal themselves given the right support and environment, and that the path of support is very fluid and evolves with each individual.
