Experience

I have been practising as a therapist since 1993 after qualifying as a Clinical Psychologist.  After 10 years of successful private practise in South Africa, I returned to the UK. Before this I worked as a Social Worker in Probation Services and Hospital Services. 

In the UK I worked as a Psychologist for the NHS addiction services in SW london.

I have worked as a school counsellor  from 2007 to 2010.

I have worked for Relate as a couple counsellor from 2007 to 2010.

From 2008 - 2018, I was Head of School in Counselling and Psychology Newham College University Centre , Stratford London. 

My orientation:

I work as an Integrative therapist. This involves matching my approach to what would best suite the client and the problem.

 My primary approach is Person-centred, with a Systemic understanding of problems.

 I have extensive experience in both CBT and Psychodynamic approaches. 

 I am trained in EMDR, an approach for treating trauma.

 I have training in Emotional Focused Therapy, this is one approach I use in Couple therapy
