About me and my therapy practice
I understand that beginning therapy can be anxiety provoking for people. I am a warm, compassionate and gentle practitioner. Colleagues and clients confirm that I achieve these standards in my approach to therapy. My approach facilitates a feeling of safety, which I find to be essential in counselling.
I have been working for an N.H.S. Neuro-Developmental Service for 15 years and now work privately having commenced my practise in psychotherapy and counselling in 1993. I work with individuals and offer consultancy and training. Please see my website for more details. I work with organisations through their Employment Assistance Programmes (E.A.P.) as well as television companies who provide counselling in their aftercare packages. I also work with Victim Support Homicide. I receive referrals from Harley Therapy Autism Diagnostic Service.
I can work effectively with People who have Autism and Asperger’s Syndrome using humanistic and applied cognitive behavioural procedures and have been pro-active in expanding counselling services for people through my work in the NHS and also within my own private practise.
I recommend an initial Therapy Assessment in order to discuss the main issues of concern. I will then be able to recommend a direction in which to work. Assessment and Therapy sessions are usually held for 60 to 90 minutes. An assessment enables me to gain an approximate timeframe for therapy.
My Therapy Clinic is held Kenway Road, just 2 mins walk from Earlscourt station.
My website provides client and professional testimonials which give an account of my practise and ethical standards.
