I have been practicing as a Counsellor/ Psychotherapist over the last 30 years, since my initial training in Client centred Therapy in substance misuse disorders. Later on, I progressed to become a Counsellor/ Psychotherapist, MBACP, a Licensed Neuro-Linguistic Practitioner and a qualified & registered clinical Hypnotherapist.Academically, I hold a Masters Degree (MA), where I specialised counselling and psychotherapy, a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychological Counselling (PGCPsyCouns-Grade A), and a Professional Practitioner Diploma in Hypnotherapy (Honours), a Diploma in Psychology (distinction) and an advanced Counselling Certificate (distinction)Apart from BACP, I hold membership of the World Federation of Hypnotherapists (MWFH), the Society of Hypno-analysts (MSHA) and the Association of Neuro-Linguistic Programming UK.I am eclectic and integrative in practice, using a variety of Psycho therapeutic systems to offer support. I use Hypnosis clinically, to enhance the results and efficiency of therapy, depending on the issue and the suitability. Hypnotherapy has proven to be effective in certain conditions. Some individuals have an special interest in Hypnotherapy. If you are too, we could together decide to include it in your therapy after an assessment, because it may not be suitable for certain conditions. Hence, treatments can be planned according to the needs and wishes.I can help issues around substance and food dependencies, mind-body issues, anxieties, OCD, phobias, traumas, mood disorders such as Depression, mania and Bi-polar. I can help with pain management where mindfulness, CBT and Hypnosis can be used as main therapies. I help children and adults in loss and bereavement, anxieties, phobias and other psychological issues.
