I have been working as a private Counsellor and Psychotherapist in Highgate since 1995.
In an atmosphere of `acceptance` the client is encouraged to focus and explore his/ her problems. By examining the roots of any `difficult` feeling, the causes may be understood, leading to more distance and a loosening of the apparent power of resistent behaviours.
By encouraging the capacity for `self-empowerment`, the client is enabled to challenge any behaviours and ideas which are blocking the sense of well-being. Through focussing on their own innate strengths, which have been neglected, the client learns to develop ways of dealing with life, which give more freedom and choice.
My approach uses several frameworks, in particular:
PERSON-CENTRED COUNSELLING (ROGERIAN), EXISTENTIAL PSYCHOTHERAPY and HUMANISTIC PSYCHOLOGY.
As a member of BACP (affiliated) I agree to abide by their Code of Ethics. I use an Accredited Supervisor to review my work regularly, to ensure a high standard of proficiency. Also I am a member of the `Association of Humanistic Psychology` (affiliated).
