I offer counselling to individuals and couples, using Nonviolent Communication Skills as a core model, along with my training in counselling and sex and relationship therapy.
I started my practice as a counsellor 13 years ago in HMP Brixton, followed by work in a GP surgery in Clapham, a private health clinic, and Kings College Hospital. I am a qualified counsellor who has undertaken an additional 2-year training in psychosexual and relationship therapy. I also have 25 years of NVC experience and practice, training directly with Dr Marshall Rosenberg.
My approach is to work with all aspects of a person’s life in terms of background, family group, culture, and environment. The aim is to enable clients to work purposefully at their own pace and with what they choose to share with me. I start with an initial assessment session, and although the client is in charge of the material they bring. I do ask questions in order to get a clear picture of their unique situation, and to establish any medical issues that may impact on therapy. The support I offer to individuals and couples is to help them unpack their problems and discuss them, name and acknowledge the feelings and needs involved, and acquire new skills in nonviolent communication. This way we work towards regaining the balance and understanding needed to move on constructively.
