QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE

This may be your first time seeking therapy or perhaps you have had some therapy experiences before. Either way, choosing your next therapist is an important decision.

I have undertaken six years of training in integrative counselling and psychotherapy at the Minster Centre in London and have a postgraduate diploma in integrative counselling.   I am currently completing an MA in integrative psychotherapy and counselling.

I am BACP registered and fully insured. I have a PhD in Epidemiology, an MA from Cambridge University (1st class) and an MSc from London University. I also have more than 25 years experience working in the health and wellbeing sector.

It is important you find a therapist who is the right fit, and equally important that you find someone who is properly qualified and capable of competently working with you. ‘Counsellor’ and ‘psychotherapist’ are not yet regulated terms, and the titles alone do not tell you enough about a therapist’s capabilities. However, you can refer to training history and accrediting bodies if you seek reassurance in this regard.

I have offered a summary of my own training and experience above and would be happy to answer any questions you may have.
