ABOUT MY PRACTICE
WORK RELATED EXPERIENCE
I have been working as a qualified clinical
psychologist in London, UK since 1993. I am employed by the National Health Service in two
London hospitals as a Chartered Clinical
Psychologist, providing outpatient services
to adults with a wide range of emotional problems.
In addition to my NHS duties I run a private
practice 'The Counselling Concern', with consulting rooms
located in Central London, South West London and
Surrey.
THEORETICAL ORIENTATION
I am trained in a variety of psychological models
but my preferred way of working is within a
cognitive- behavioural framework, using clinical
hypnotherapy where appropriate to facilitate new
learning.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
INITIAL PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
An initial psychological assessment involves
talking to your therapist in a supportive and
confidential environment about your problems. It
is an opportunity to enable your therapist to
make a detailed assessment of your difficulties.
Without a thorough assessment it is impossible to
decide upon the best course of therapeutic action
for you.
