Clinical Experience in Counselling and Psychotherapy
My clinical experience has been gained by working as a Psychotherapist at The Adamson Centre for Mental Health, St. Thomas' and Guys Hospital. I also have extensive experience working at The Terence Higgins Trust supporting clients dealing with HIV, either directly or indirectly - as well as Greenwich MIND working with a vast array of different issues. I also work in private practice.
I specialise in working with depression and anxiety, meaning, sexuality, addictions and relationship issues.
What to Expect during Counselling and Psychotherapy
The need for therapy arises when a relationship has broken down or is out of balance. This involves not only the relation with another person, but with our whole existence which is a network of relationships. We are in a constant, intimate and all-embracing relationship with the world. The way we relate to the ourselves and social values will shape our experience of being alive.The aim of therapy is to generate equilibrium. This means to bring back the balance between opposite forces or influences. Every problem has more than one viewpoint. There are always options. The experiences of hurt, confusion, desperation or helplessness are only one side of the coin. Even when we are suffering greatly it is possible to find meaning in our pain and become wiser. The challenges of life can teach us how to be more self-contained, have presence of mind and gain tranquillity.
Even if you feel weak, ill, depressed, or very low in self-esteem, therapy can help you to regain the courage to respond to the challenges that life places in your path. With the assistance of a therapist you can learn how to embrace the whole range of experiences life has for you, while keeping your feet firm on the ground.
Together with the therapist you review your relationships and the way you are dealing with them. In this way, a playground is created for you to observe what you bring into your relationships and explore better options to respond to them.
