About me

I am qualified to work with both individual clients and couples  and offer both long term psychodynamic counselling as well as short term solution focused therapy. I include the techniques of CBT within my work, rather than using it as a stand alone way of working.

Qualifications

I qualified as a counsellor after gaining my post graduate diploma in psychodynamic counselling from Goldsmiths College in London (part of the University of London), in September 2006. This kind of counselling encourages us to think about how we respond and behave and the reasons behind this.

In 2007 I also trained to work specifically using a solution focused approach, this approach allows us to focus on an agreed area of concern. The counselling takes place over 12 sessions.

I am currently studying Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which offers a variety of tools and techniques that can help us face many of the issues we face today

Experience

Since qualifying I have worked in a variety of different settings, within the Brighton and Hove area,  gaining a wealth of experience to compliment my training.

Associations

I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), www.bacp.co.uk,  and am fully committed to working within its ethical framework.

I am also a member of Sussex Counselling, www.sussex-counselling.co.uk
