I enjoy helping people overcome personal and life challenges, so that they can make the most of their life.
I bring my multicultural life experience to my work, which has shown me that life is rarely about things being fully right or wrong — often our choices and judgements serve a purpose at the time. This perspective allows me to meet clients with openess and curiosity. And I am often inspired by the ways in which the human mind can respond creatively, even in times of great difficulty.
My personal experience of long term psychoanalytical therapy, my integrative training and my ongoing professional development also means that I have an in-depth understanding of the challenges of being human and the skills that are required to work with long standing and deeply rooted issues.
I currently run a private practice where I offer face to face short-term and long-term therapy. Being bilingual, I can provide therapy in French as well as in English. I also have an interest in working therapeutically with groups and in using art/play to encourage self-expression.
Over the years I have worked with several local organisations (Youthline in Bracknell, Space and CRI in Slough), experiencing working with people from all walks of life and with different challenges. I also work with students in their counselling training and with qualified therapists returning to therapy after their training.
As well as private self-referrals, I receive and accept referrals from EAP agencies (Nuffield Health, Lyra Health, Iprs, Onebright) and Insurance companies (Currently BUPA and Aviva).
As an accredited member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I am bound by its ethical framework and professional standards. As a professional practice, my work is supervised by a clinical supervisor and I attend regular professional courses, workshops and group supervision in order to continually support and enhance my practice.
