QUALIFICATIONS AND MODALITY
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and I conduct my practice within their ethical framework. Find out more here.
I hold a Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling.
My modality of work is psychodynamic .That means that I believe that any difficulties, internal conflicts and unhealthy and/or self-sabotaging patterns of relating are rooted in our childhood experiences and our ‘blueprint’ relationships with our primary caregivers. The way in which we are shaped by those experiences and relationships is often unconscious, as are our defence mechanisms that we develop in childhood in order to cope with difficult, painful and intolerable feelings and dynamics.
I work relationally, which means that we use the therapeutic relationship that unfolds throughout our work together, in order to better understand and map out your inner world.
I am a trauma-trained therapist.
I also hold a certification in EMDR Therapy and Coaching ( Module 1,2 and 3 ). EMDR is a highly effective trauma treatment.
The initial consultation/assessment is 90 min long. The purpose of the initial consultation is to understand the current difficulties and to get a sense of where they come from, what caused them, and how they are impacting your life. The consultation also focuses on your personal history and it’s an opportunity to assess if we can work together.
