Counselling Services
I work as a counsellor specialising in various different aspects of how we individually manage our versions of reality. I work at my house in Camberwell, 4 days a week by appointment. To book a session with me please either email me or call 020 7701 9269
I charge £80 for a standard 50 minutes. Payment can be made by cash or by cheque. I do not take cards.
Who am I? What is my background and my experience? I am clean and sober since 1991 from drug and alcohol abuse. I started the first women’s SAA (Sex Addicts Anonymous) groups in London in 1996. I am a Kundalini yoga teacher specialising in Conscious Pregnancy and I run a pregnancy yoga teacher training course with two other teachers called The Mothers Journey. I train yoga teachers to teach in prison and in rehabilitation centres for the Guru Ram Dass Project. I write regularly for Yoga Magazine on issues such as those described above, I teach mantra and chanting and I run an international training programme for women in Leadership and Liberation, teaching regularly in France, Portugal, Slovenia and Iceland.
How does it work? I usually work with individuals for 5-6 sessions, which can be taken within a week or spread over 5 weeks or over 5 months. I am always available to return to issues at a later date and can where appropriate provide weekly supervision either by email or by VOIP such as Skype to ensure that progress is consistent.
I specialise in the following areas:
The Addictive Personality; an aspect of ourselves that demands constant attention, I specialise in working with long-term recovery issues.
Conscious Pregnancy; which helps you to deal with the issues that arise during pregnancy, including fear of the pain of labour, fear during pregnancy, multiple miscarriages, relationship changes during pregnancy.
Sexuality; including various different types of “Celibacy Contracts” that are tailored to your needs and can last from one to twelve months, supervised on a weekly basis.
Trauma Recovery; This work need not include returning to the emotions of the event but do focus on helping you to manage and lessen the impact of the experience on your daily life, relationships and responses. Areas covered include rape, childhood abuse, sexual abuse.
Spiritual Counselling;Helping you to work through thoughts and feelings about your spiritual practice and your soul connection.
