Welcome 

Integrative Therapy in Enfield

Why are we here?

Whatever your reasons for trying to find a therapist, it is my job to work with you to help you feel more resilient in painful and stressful times and more openness when the chances come to enjoy your life.

 

Research demonstrates that the number one indicator for positive outcomes in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. That is because therapy is a collaborative process between therapist and client.​​

​​

I offer a non-judgmental, safe environment where we can work on what inhibits you and drives you.

​​

Who am I?

​I have hundreds of hours of client experience both face to face and online.

​

I have worked in private practice as well as at a charity which specialises in the impact of domestic and child sexual abuse on families. These experiences have taught me the importance of working with you where you are. I do not come at therapy with a pre-conceived notion of what is right for you. We will find that out together.

​​

I am an integrative relational therapist. â€‹

 

To be integrative means many things,​ I like it as it allows for the different aspects of you in therapy – the practical and the rational, the dreamer and the artist, the intellectual and the  emotional, the physical and the spiritual. All parts are welcome in therapy - especially those that are harder to share in everyday life.

​​

I focus on the relational aspects of therapy, as it allows us to explore how your experiences impact how you relate in the world and can help shine a light on what drives and stops you in your life.

​

My training

​​

Over five years, I trained at two highly regarded organisations in the UK, completing a foundation course at the Society of Analytical Psychology (Jungian) orientation, before training at the Minster Centre.

​

Founded in 1978, Minster Centre is one of the longest established and leading Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling training institutions in Europe.

​

​I qualified with a Diploma in Counselling, a level 7 qualification, and am a registered member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

​

I am bound to work by the ethics of my trade association.​​

​

I have taken additional trainings on family and belonging, race and racism in the here and now, gender, sexuality, child sexual abuse, severe presentations and the use of medication, bereavement and dying, eco-anxiety and time limited therapy.

​

I have an MA in Chinese Studies and have many years experience of working in the corporate world.

 

Unfortunately, terms such as psychotherapist and counsellor, can be used without any training or qualification. If you are looking for a counsellor or psychotherapist, please ensure that they have appropriate qualifications.​

What's going to happen?

If you have never had therapy before, it may feel daunting. ​The first session is for us to decide if we are a good fit. I will ask you why you want therapy and together we will explore what has brought you to the session.

 

I will explain how I work in some more detail and then ask you some questions about what you want from therapy. ​If you decide to start therapy, I will provide a contract, which will outline the basics of how we will work together.​​

 

The type of therapy I practice tends to work best as weekly open-ended contract, but if you would prefer a time limited agreement, we can discuss this.​​

 

People who come to my practice find that I provide the compassion and care to work with them where they are.​
