Manor Park Counselling

I have always been preoccupied by what it is to be human. What makes our character? What motivates us? How do we define our world, ourselves and others? I first explored this artistically by training as a professional actor. Acting and therapy both require empathy, in order to step into someone’s shoes and see the world from their point of view. Having explored creatively what it is to be human, I now pursues this therapeutically as a counsellor and have found much of what she has learnt transferable and beneficial in understanding each therapeutic encounter

I am a professionally trained and fully qualified Person-Centred Therapist. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation that monitors and regulates codes of ethics for professional practice. It also serves clients through providing a complaints procedure pathway for your safety and protection. I undertake regular clinical supervision in order to maintain these high standards and I am covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance. I regularly partake in Continual Professional Development training in the form of workshops and both professionally and personally remain receptive to all things relating to mental health and well-being. I have worked as a counsellor for Lewisham Bereavement Counselling, LC & CTA Community Counselling Service and continue to work at The Deborah Ubee Trust, all for which I was DBS checked. Recently, I have been working more intensively with someone who has Dementia. I am currently developing a way of working with actors through therapeutic facilitation.
