Special Interests

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.

For fifteen years (2003 - 2018), I worked as a Sexual Health Adviser and as a Counsellor in various NHS Sexual Health Clinics, eg Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, London and Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow, Middlesex. An important function of my role was to assess and provide early crisis intervention work and short to long term counselling to several patients addressing physical, personal, and psychological/emotional health issues that had arisen from diagnosis of STIs/HIV or other concerns associated with sexual health and relationships.
I have supported clients presenting with varied anxiety symptoms for over 15 years. I am able to work effectively with clients to acquire coping strategies to manage their symptoms and over come them so that the client can reengage with life and live fully
From October 2020-Oct 2022 , I offered remote services as an oncologist counsellor, for Mount Vernon Hospital in Northwood, Middlesex. The main function of this role was to support patients; to learn how to cope with their diagnosis, manage anxiety and depression, coping with side effects, uncertainty about the future and dealing with emotional concerns about self-image, body image, intimacy and sex
I have worked as an EAP (Employee Assistance Program) counsellor, providing brief solution focused counselling, drawing on CBT techniques to support employees of different organisations like PHE, DFID, NHS, Transport of London etc. I have experience in doing psychological wellbeing assessments to identify clients needs. Some of the issues I have supported clients with are; workplace conflicts, workplace related trauma, mental health concerns including anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship problems, substance abuse issues and redundancies.
From 2018-2022 worked remotely with Health in Mind Scotland as a trauma counsellor supporting clients who have experienced childhood abuse. A major function of my role was to provide a grounded safe presence, as I offered clients grounding strategies in “the here and now”, so that clients could begin to explore their trauma, learn ways to regulate their emotions and ways begin to feel safe. My role was to provide short term counselling to clients for specific childhood abuse and trauma. The role involved an initial assessment, risk assessments and reviews (completing regular CORE and Health in Mind review forms) during the therapeutic relationship. Clients presented with various life issues like; anxiety, depression, childhood sexual abuse, work stress, bereavement. I am currently working with IWP ( IndividualWellbeingProvider) supporting clients who have experienced domestic violence through one to one therapy and facilitating support groups .
