My approach
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy, human growth and change..
... with clients I provide a safe space where you and I explore difficult feelings and gain enhanced awareness of how past and present relationships, break-ups, grief or traumas may be affecting you from day to day.
As our work progresses your heightened awareness will help identify choices going forward and promote renewed energy, motivation and recovery.
An element of our work together will be an exploration of how you live and relate in your life in terms of your emotional, bodily, cognitive, social and 'spiritual' needs.
I consider the therapeutic relationship in the present moment (or how you and I work together) as an essential constituent to the healing process. I offer a no-cost 15 minute phone call for you to ask questions about me or my practice before arranging an initial assessment session.
In the assessment session we will explore your current difficulties, some brief history and what aims you have and changes you hope to make. This will also be an important opportunity to check how well you and I could work together.
As my client you are protected by the GDPR/Data Protection Act 2018 and the ethical standards of the UKCP the body that regulates the practice of psychotherapists and counsellors.
I work in person in Highgate N6, Camden NW1, NW7 and also online by Zoom. Depending on your situation therapy can be a long-term process of several years, or perhaps you may have a short-term need which may just span a limited period of 12-15 weeks.
"We cannot choose to have a life free of hurt. But we can choose to be free, to escape the past, no matter what befalls us, and to embrace the possible." E. E. Igor
Background and Qualifications
I worked for over 20 years in the international leadership and management development industry and during this time witnessed how the Humanistic and Gestalt approach is a highly effective philosophy to promote human growth, change and development. Gradually I deepened the scope of my work as an executive coach as I trained to become a psychotherapist. In my therapeutic practice I have worked since 2015 with clients in the NHS, leading therapy groups for Age UK Camden Counselling service and recently completed several years of client work with CITHE, a team of international therapists abroad. My private practice in London is in Highgate, Camden/Kings Cross and NW7.
