About
Me
I began my career in the field
of Mental Health in the United
Kingdom where I was awarded the
undergraduate degree of
Psychodynamic Counsellor at the
University of Surrey in England
in 2001. After a few years of
working as a Counsellor, I
earned a Masters degree in
Psychoanalytic Studies at
University of Sheffield,
England, which was subsequently
followed by a post-graduate
degree in Psychotherapeutic
Studies at the same university.
My academic background provided
me a theoretical foundation
whilst my 15 years of
professional experience in
Europe and the Middle East gave
me a broader and enriching
understanding of the value of
the therapeutic process.
Experience
Living and working in
multi-cultural societies gave me
the opportunity to gain
substantial experience in
relation to the formalities in
which similar issues need to be
discussed and treated in
different groups, and
strengthened my ability to
create and manage dialogue. This
made my practice more flexible
as I focus on understanding and
adapting with respect and
integrity to different mindsets.
In Europe I worked in the
education sector helping young
children in their transition
into, and out of, international
school environments. My work
took me to charity agencies
where I provided support to
young people aged 11-25, and
then working with homeless and
elderly people. During the years
I spent in the Middle East, I
worked in private clinics that
provided psychological services.
There, I had a unique
opportunity to work with a large
international client base with
different personal, cultural and
religious backgrounds.
Ethical Practice
I am regularly enhancing my
professional practice through
continuing personal development
by attending conferences and
seminars on current thinking and
practice on various mental
health issues. I abide by the
British Association for
Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP)
Ethical Framework for Good
Practice. In addition to this,
and as I am committed to the
highest standards of
professional development, I have
regular supervision to manage my
caseload in line with the said
professional standards. |
