Supervision
As an HCPC registered practitioner, I am also able to offer clinical supervision to counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists. My stance is integrative and informed by my training and clinical practice in different psychotherapeutic approaches (such as psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, EMDR and ego state work), therefore, I am able to tailor clinical supervision to the needs of each individual supervisee and according to their level of development and experience.
Academic Work
I work as a guest lecturer, clinical tutor and director of studies at key London universities on their Counselling Psychology doctoral programmes.
Values, Ethics and Practitioner Identity
The foundations of my work
ValuesMy work is rooted in a humanistic value base which focuses on respecting the unique experience of the client; facilitating their potential to grow, orienting the work towards empowering the individual, respecting the client as an expert in their life and experience; appreciating their uniqueness and individuality and understanding the person within their social and cultural context.
Overall, the core of my practice encompasses a commitment to understand and engage with my clients in a way that affords them the deepest value and respect and which, in turn, enables them to maximise their wellbeing and fulfilment in life. |
Ethical FrameworkAs a member of the British Psychological Society, I uphold the highest standards of professionalism, which are grounded in the BPS Code of Ethics and Conduct and aim to promote ethical behaviour based on the principles of respect, competence, responsibility and integrity. This code of conduct provides me with the parameters within which I am able to make sound professional judgements in my work.

Practitioner IdentityMy training as a Counselling Psychologist has enabled me to develop my identity as a scientist-practitioner in order to be able to apply the psychological knowledge gained from theory and research into my therapeutic work.
Furthermore, I have developed as a practitioner who is highly reflective and can gain a deeper and more complex understanding of myself in the context of others. This has been possible through using my own personal insight, life experiences and clinical supervision, which have enabled me to facilitate the formation of a strong therapeutic relationship in my work with clients. |
