About me
I am a fully qualified Integrative Relationship Therapist and a registered member of the BACP.
I believe that there is real value in talking to someone who has the training and experience to listen in a way that allows you to feel understood and heard perhaps for the first time.
My work with individuals, couples and families is motivated by my passion for helping people explore ways in which feelings of frustration and despair can be understood and transformed into happier relationships.
I have been married for 23 years, have three children and live in West London.
Training and Experience
My sessions are confidential and non-judgmental and based on an integrative approach.
Qualifications
MA Relationship Therapy (Distinction)
This is a three-year Masters degree course, developed by The Relate Institute and awarded by the University of Hull, and is currently the highest level of Relationship therapy training available in the UK.
It is a postgraduate programme accredited by The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). On completion, practitioners are fully qualified to work with couples, families and individuals. A particular strength of the programme is the emphasis on working from an integrative perspective and studying a range of different therapeutic approaches. A mandatory part of the course is extensive clinical practice and supervision, as well as an additional programme of continuing professional development.
The British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
The BACP is a professional body that acts in the interest of the public as a professional, relevant, credible and communicative organisation for the counselling professions, bound by a common purpose, underpinned by clear philosophy and transparent values.
