​
My main training comprises over 5 years at WPF Therapy in London, one of the most rigorous clinical and theoretical trainings in the country. This training requires one to be in personal therapy twice a week for a minimum of four years. This is a crucial element of a therapist's learning and personal development and, I believe, vital to understanding the experience of our clients.
​
I am an accredited and registered member of both The British Psychoanalytic Council and The UK Council for Psychotherapy.
​
I abide by, and am bound by, those organisations Codes of Ethics for good practice.
My experience
I have 15 years of experience working with a wide range of clients and presenting issues. I also have extensive experience of working with clients in addiction and bereavement counselling organisations.
​
I have supervised the work of counsellors, psychotherapists and trainees for a number of years in different settings.
​
I have specialist training in assessment for psychodynamic psychotherapy and in offering time limited therapy.
​
I also have long experience of facilitating short- and long-term therapy groups for those with a range of addictive disorders. I was the Head of a large addiction counselling service in London for six years.
​
I have previously run successful workshops in London and have presented at national and international conferences on the psychotherapy of addictions and on working with addictive states of mind.
​
With extensive experience working with those dealing with addictive behaviours, including alcoholism, I understand that untreated addiction issues can persist wherever you live. As such, I provide remote therapy services to those suffering with addiction in the UK or abroad, offering online therapy for expats across the globe.
This means that I aim to accommodate time zone differences where needed, on an individual basis.
