My Qualifications and Experience

I am a retired psychotherapist.

Here are the details and I hope that they are helpful:

* Training in Oxford

I attended training at the Oxford School of Psychodrama and Integrative Psychotherapy.  My trainers were Peter Haworth and Susie Taylor who are well-known and respected. I started training in 1998 and most of it was completed by 2003. I still had to run a weekly therapy group and write my dissertation and this was achieved by 2006

* Training practice in the NHS

My training involved facilitating a weekly therapy group for 3 years with real patients to prove that I could professionally handle the issues that arise. I had an honorary contract at an NHS hospital (Mile End Hospital, London) where I ran a weekly group for out-patients. This included assessing patients as well as facilitating the group of 5-6 members

* Extensive Experience

From 2006 onwards, I have provided both individual and group therapy.

Since 2009, I have facilitated a therapy and support group for Mind in Camden. This group has benefitted many people.

From 2009-2018, I provided day workshops for groups of people to experience therapy. They were called 'Saturday Psychodrama' and I ran 65 workshops during 9 years. The workshops suited people who wanted to experience in-depth therapy at first hand (until Covid came along).
