Clinical Experience in Counselling

I am a counsellor who provides private counselling in the Clapham area of South West London. Prior to working privately I gained experience working with NHS referrals. As a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) I am bound by its Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

What to Expect during Counselling

I work integratively which means working with and combining different approaches to counselling, namely psychodynamic and person centred.

The psychodynamic approach looks at childhood development and previous experiences and how they can affect present actions and behaviours, perhaps creating repeated patterns in relationships or life of which you may not be consciously aware.

The person centred approach focuses on the relationship between client and counsellor, where the counsellor uses the three conditions of empathy, genuineness and unconditional acceptance to ensure a safe space for the client to work and explore their thoughts and feelings.

In a session I focus on listening to the client to understand what is important for them. To explore difficult areas in their life working alongside the client to perhaps enhance their self awareness and see issues from a different point of view. Respect and confidentiality are also central in counselling as well as the relationship between counsellor and client.

Clinical Qualifications in Counselling

My main training is in Integrative Counselling - a BSc from Roehampton University gained in June 2009. The main approaches studied were psychodynamic, person centred and existential and experiential. I have also done basic college training in humanistic, psychoanalytical and behavioural approaches. The training has given me not only a strong grounding in counselling and psychotherapeutic theory, but also an understanding in experiential group work and the practical application of personal and professional skills to build caring therapeutic relationships with clients.
