Qualifications

I am a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and an accredited member of the BACP [ British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy].  I earned my Psychology degree with the Open University then continued my studies at the CPPD [Centre for Professional and Personal Development] in North London obtaining a Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma In Humanistic Integrative Counselling. In 2014 I went on to complete a mindfulness Course at Mindful World, The London Therapy Foundation and in 2016 saw me finalise a course in CBT at the Grove in London. 2018 lead me to the Wimbledon Guild where I completed a Bereavement Course.

My Clinical training took place at Robin Hood Clinic One of the first GP Clinic's in the area to promote and champion this kind of health care using it's association with IAPT's

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and psychotherapy and adhere to their Ethical Framework a copy of this document can be found on the BACP's website at http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical framework.  I hold professional liability insurance for my work and am ICO registered and GDPR compliant.

I currently have a private practice in Carshalton SM5 and continue to work within the NHS and counselling community.  As well as my Private work I am a BUPA recognised professional and an Associate Practitioner for several Employee Assistance Providers ( EAP,s)

2020 found me completing my Diploma in Clinical Supervision with the CPPD in North London 

Subsequent to counselling I worked for fifteen years in a busy international company dealing with customs and excise this gave me a first hand insight into stress and anxiety and showed me how it can affect peoples health.

My clients issues cover a large and varied scale and I have been able to work with people who suffer from anxiety, bereavement, depression, low self esteem, relationship issues and family issues to name but a few.

The humanistic and integrative path I follow is Person Centred, Psychodynamic, CBT [Cognitive Behavioural Therapy] and T.A. [Transactional Analysis]. Using these theories allows each individual to find their own path in their own way. By employing this style of working I aim to allow each individual the space which they need to open up and allow themselves to develop within a non-judgmental, emotional and safe environment.
