The benefits to you are that we will work according to your individual needs and personal circumstances. I will listen carefully and support you to explore your current difficulties within a warm and empathic therapeutic environment. Together we will look at ways of how you may deal with these difficulties more constructively and build resources for the future. MBACP. Qualifications & Training BSc (Hons) Psychology. Diploma in Integrative Counselling. Equivalent of Masters in Counselling Psychology. Currently in 5th year of a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology Experience I have a wide range of experience, which includes working in an NHS psychology department, at university as a student counsellor and in private practice. I am also an Associate Lecturer at university, teaching counselling skills and psychology courses. I often work with people suffering with anxiety, such as general anxiety, panic attacks and OCD, a condition where you find yourself uncontrollably repeating tasks or have repetitive and intrusive thoughts. I also specialise in working with trauma and abuse, depression and low self-esteem. Sometimes none of these apply but you may want to understand and improve the way you relate to other people.
