Counselling and Psychotherapy
Qualifications
Post-Graduate Diploma in Counselling and Psycotherapy (UEL). The core study was the Integrative Process Model. Training also included: Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (MBCBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Gestalt, Solution Focused Therapy and Personality Types (Myers Briggs).
I have received additional training with Caspari Groupworks for using Art as a therapeutic medium in groups.
Experience
As well as my private practice, I have worked with adults at East London Mental Health Services (ELMS), and as a Student Counsellor in an East London College of Further Education.
Originally, I studied at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and was an actress for 18 years. This experience has provided me with valuable skills and resources (such as empathy and narrative process) which I have absorbed into my work as counsellor and therapist.
“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”
