A choice of therapies for a wide range of psychological difficulties

 

I have been working in both the private and public sectors in and out of London for the past six years. Currently, I work as a Counselling Psychologist in several general practices offering brief therapy to patients referred by their General Practitioners. I work with individuals, couples and groups from all walks of life, age groups and highly diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

 

I have extensive experience of working with people having family and relationship difficulties, depression and anxiety problems, self-esteem issues, trauma victims, drug & alcohol users and gay and lesbian clients. I have also worked with hospital in-patients and out-patients with chronic or terminal illnesses, people with HIV, patients with severe and enduring mental health problems as well as primary school children.

 

Apart from English, I also offer sessions in Russian and Latvian.

 

Apart from therapy, I am interested in philosophy, religion, meditation, spirituality, dance (salsa and The 5 Rhythms), languages, travelling, classical music, modern art, cinema, theatre, opera, ballet, swimming and cycling.
