Experience:
With 15 years of experience, my approach is rooted in creating a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with comfort and security. My extensive training includes a Master's degree in Mental Health Counselling (MHC) from a University based in New York. My course work here focused on training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychoanalytic Therapy, and Humanistic approaches to treatment. This rigorous two year full time program completed after a four year Bachelors degree with Psychology underpinnings, prepared me to work confidently within diverse clinical settings using these therapeutic approaches in real life practice.
After my graduate training, and during my tenure at the national nonprofit , the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of America Headquarters, I provided invaluable support and counselling to patients and their families, alongside facilitating support groups for teenage girls living with chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. Additionally, my experience at a Women’s Health centre in New York involved diagnosing and treating clients with a range of mental health disorders, from anxiety and mood disorders to managing chronic health issues, stress, trauma, and life transitions.
Since relocating to the UK, I have continued my practice, offering counselling services to adolescents and adults in a private practice setting. Alongside my private work, I work in-house with adolescents at a local private school.
