Qualifications & Experience
Qualifications
I have a Master's Degree in Psychodynamic Practice from the University of Oxford and I am an accredited member of the British Association For Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). I work within the BACP Ethical Guidelines for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I also have an IPC in Cognitive Behaviour Approach from Birmingham University and I have studied Art Psychotherapy at Goldsmiths University.
Experience
I have been practising as a counsellor for 15 years. Before working in private practice I managed a busy workplace counselling service. This brought me into contact with a range of individuals and allowed me to build up significant experience of dealing with both personal and workplace issues. I have worked with many individuals struggling with loss, whether that be the death of a family member, relationship breakdown, redundancy, illness or the loss of a physical ability. I have also worked in the NHS with adults with more complex needs.
