Practice description

About Me and Counselling

I am a Gestalt Counsellor, I have worked in a further education institution. I volunteer in an LGBT+ organisation offering 1:1 counselling in London. I freelance for a psychology service as an Associate Counsellor offering 1:1 counselling for staff and clients who have experienced homelessness. I deliver Reflective Practice Group Sessions for staff members in a range of organisations and 1:1 Reflective Practice. I work as a counsellor for the NHS and in partnership with a social enterprise organisation offering counselling for service users and staff members and I run my private practice

I bring creativity into my work as a counsellor to support people to raise their awareness, with an understanding due to barriers of language talking can become challenging, so I can provide a space to support other ways to find expression if needed.

I am a Buddhist, and this I feel connects to my values and humanistic approach rooted within Gestalt Counselling, treating each person with respect, and equality, being non-judgmental and embracing. I believe everyone has the potential to change, to become their authentic self, if they choose to, this is at the heart of my counselling.

I am a registered accredited member (MBACP Accred), of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and abide by their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Profession. I am a member of UKAGP (The UK Association for Gestalt Practitioners) and ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online). I have a Diploma in Gestalt Counselling, a Graduate Certificate in Humanistic Counselling Skills, a Graduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution and Mediation and a BA Honours in Drama, Film and Television and currently undertaking a PGDip in Gestalt Therapy.

What Happens Next

If you feel after reading this information you would like to make contact you can email or telephone (email is usually best)

I will arrange an initial meeting with you, this is ‘an assessment’, to get a clearer view of who you are and why you want to come to counselling. I will make this as relaxed as possible, with a few formal questions combined with an informal discussion. It will help you to gain an understanding of how I work too. Here are a few things which may be covered:

  • Clarity of what counselling is (if you have never attended counselling before)
  • An understanding of why you are coming to counselling at this time
  • Your brief history
  • Your online safety
  • Confidentiality
  • How I work

You will also have a chance to speak freely in your own words, ask questions and see if you feel comfortable working with me. After this, if we both feel we can work together a time, day and date can be arranged to continue your counselling sessions and I will let you know what happens next. The Assessment session is £70.00 and lasts for 50 minutes, there is no obligation to continue with counselling after the assessment session if you do not feel too.
