Clinical Experience in Counselling

I have worked as a counsellor and hypnotherapist for over five years with different charities in Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets. I also worked in the NHS at Bart's hospital. I have my own private practice and work from offices near Liverpool Street and Gracechurch Street in the City of London. I also offer outdoor counselling in a lot of the different London Parks; these include Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Regents Park, Hampstead Heath, Green Park, St James Park, Battersea Park and Victoria Park. As well as this I do home visits in most parts of Greater London. I also have considerable experience in Groupwork.

What to Expect during Counselling

I work as an Integrative Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. My style of counselling varies from Person centred to a Solution focused approach; whichever is the most suitable for you. Person centred means that I will listen to and endeavour to understand your thoughts and feelings and to reflect these back to you. By my understanding and acceptance of your current state of being it can help you to feel accepted and more at one with yourself. Solution focused therapy involves looking at where you want to go with your life and what you may need to change. It looks at different options available to you and how you can apply them to your own circumstances. I also use Clean Language and Autogenics. Clean Language is a way of understanding where different thoughts and feelings are situated in your body and how they can interact with each other, to bring about change, if necessary. Autogenics is a method of clearing excessive feelings of anxiety, sadness, fear, anger etc by expressing them out loud. Hypnotherapy can be used to bring about a calm and relaxed state and can also work with troubling thoughts and feelings and amend unwanted patterns of behaviour.

Clinical Qualifications in Counselling

I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, from the University of East London. Prior to this I completed a Certificate course at Birkbeck College. I also have a Diploma in Clinical Hypnotherapy and a qualification in Group work. I have attended many courses, including ones on Solution Focused therapy, brief therapy, clean language, stress management, autogenics and focusing.

Additional Information

I am a Londoner who has lived in many different parts of the City. I currently live in Bethnal Green, East London. My work experience has involved being with different charities, investment banks, selling advertising space and being in the wine business. I love to travel and keep fit and try to cycle as much as possible. Counselling and hypnotherapy is the most enjoyable and satisfying work I have done so far. I have learnt so much much about myself and others. It is a never ending process.
