Training and Experience

two chairs herts therapy

I work privately, in Herts Therapy Counselling and Psychotherapy services, with a team of highly quaified professionals. Herts Therapy practice is located in Broxbourne,  Bishops Stortford and Shorditch.  I also work within the NHS in Enfield Therapy Service, located in Chase Farm Hospital, the service seeks to provide support and information for anyone affected by mental illness, by offering practical ways of enhancing physical, psychological and emotional well-being with a focus on the behavioural elements.

I have also worked within addiction recovery centres, providing both short and long-term individual therapy for adults in recovery from all addictive substances and behaviours and as a co-facilitator within group therapy. 

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was a Samaritan for several years, helping people in distress and those suffering with mental health difficulties. 

During my previous business career, I worked in the commercial retail sector as a nutritionist, brand and product development manager, business coach and mentor. I have also studied NLP and hypnotherapy which have contributed to the way I practice. As a qualified Masseur and Reiki master I believe that listening to our body and allowing it to be heard is a vital part of the therapeutic process.

I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including, and not limited to: Abuse (Physical, Emotional, Sexual), Anger, Anxiety, Bullying, Career & Work related issues, Depression, Dissociative disorders, Gender, Grief & Bereavement, Illnesses, Identity, Loss, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Relationship Difficulties, Self-Esteem, Self-Worth, Self-Confidence, Sexuality, Stress. 

 

I am committed to my own continued personal and professional development.
