Therapeutic Lead at
Schools Counselling Partnership
London, England
I am an integrative child, adolescent and adult counsellor which means I use a variety of models within counselling and therapy to adapt to my client’s needs as I don’t believe one size fits all.
Counselling can be a daunting and overwhelming step to take but it can also be incredibly rewarding and brave. I understand how nerve racking it can be and in some communities it can be taboo or stigmatising, so my main focus is on creating a confidential space for the person in front of me and reassuring them that they are in a safe space.
Depending on your needs – which you may or may not know, that’s ok – we will take an approach that suits you. As mentioned previously, I chose an integrative model of training so that I can tailor it to my clients’ individual needs – this can be anything from childhood wounds to relationship difficulties or anxiety about a specific issue. (Some of my areas of work are listed below).
In addition to talking therapy, I am fond of using art and creativity as it is a powerful medium to unlock pain and explore difficult life events, often trapped in our subconscious. This can take the form of writing/journaling, drawing, a piece of music, poetry, anything that creatively calls to you as a form of expression – and you don’t have to be ‘good at it’ to use it!
