The Counselling Clinic Putney, South West London

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist having worked in the private, public and charity sector. I offer psychodynamic counselling, CBT and Mindfulness MBSR, TF-CBT, EMDR and TFP transference focused psychotherapy (NHS Maudsley Training). I also hold a certificate in clinical supervision (BPS).

My initial role as an honorary psychodynamic psychotherapist for NHS Surrey and Surrey Borders included two years observation of inpatients on psychiatric ward and three years working with complex outpatients in secondary care. Also as psychodynamic counsellor at MIND Hammersmith & Fulham working with long term clients. I also worked at NHS Springfield Hosp offering MBCT/group yoga therapy for young people with severe eating disorders. I am committed to quality health care and am keen to not only offer treatment but also to develop mental health maintenance and quality of life for clients. I am a firm believer in the importance of self autonomy and in providing evidence based counselling and psychotherapy.
