Diploma Integrative Supervision (Minster Centre).Experience My interest in counselling and psychotherapy developed from several courses I took to help me use counselling skills in my previous work. I decided to change career and completed a five year training course at the Minster Centre, North West London, where I obtained a Diploma and MA in Integrative Psychotherapy. I have worked as a volunteer counsellor in an agency for young people and as a psychotherapist for the NHS during an 18 month placement. Most of my work is now in private practice where I see people who have been referred by their GP as well as self referrals. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including sexual abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, bereavement and loss, spiritual difficulties and self harming. I have over 4000 client hours experience. I also offer supervision to experienced and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists and supervise for a counselling agency for young people. Fees My usual fee is £42 per session.
