I
bring to my work with clients considerable experience as a professional
within the helping professions and have been counselling for more than
twenty years. I have helped a wide range of people, individually, as
couples and in groups, with a great variety of presenting problems,
including: work related issues, relationship difficulties and anxiety.
I have
worked for the NHS, the London Borough of Southwark, with corporate clients
such as ITV. I have broadcast with Independent Media News.
I have
taught counselling, am a qualified social worker and have an honours degree in
social psychology.
Where
I work
in Wimbledon. I am within easy reach of Wimbledon Park tube station, a
railway station and buses. Parking is free most of the time.
Between 11 and 3 on weekdays I can provide a permit that costs
£1.50. There are public
transport links to Kingston, Richmond and West London, among
other places.
Wheelchair accessible
premises.
When
I work during office
hours and in the evening and on Saturday. My last evening
appointment starts at 8. I do not work on Sunday and Monday.
Easy introduction
Arrange just one
meeting as a way of getting answers to your questions about
counselling and you will also get a first impression as to
whether a working relationship is likely to form between us.
Decide to continue and we will already be on our way.
My hours of work
include evenings and Saturday to make it as convenient as
possible for you.
A
tip
There is a pattern to therapy. Firstly, you will need to
talk freely and easily with your counsellor. This may not
seem easy at the start. Secondly, therapy has it’s up and
downs. Sometimes you would rather not say what you think.
The downs are often closely linked to the reason that brought
you into therapy so dealing with them is likely to help you most
of all.
Thirdly, the job of the counsellor is to help you understand
yourself. Fourthly, behaviour is the result of complex
and often unconscious motivations so the work may not be easy
but then doing nothing may be painful and is less hopeful.
