Training courses for psychotherapy practitioners & councellors

I am a Medical Doctor, a Certified Transactional Analyst – PTSTA, a Certified Integrative Psychotherapy trainer and supervisor (CIIPTS) and a UKCP registered psychotherapist and supervisor based in Kew, South-West London. I use online and face-to-face consultations to successfully treat a variety of psychological problems. I am a member of the UK Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA), the European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA) and the International Integrative Psychotherapy Association (IIPA)

Clinical Supervision

My work as a supervisor is very much informed by the Transactional Analysis and Relational Integrative approach. I work confidently with counsellors and psychotherapists in a wide range of practices.

Setting up Supervision: If you are looking for a clinical supervisor, I recommend that we meet for an initial appointment to explore your needs as a clinical practitioner. The frequency of supervision sessions will depend on your caseload and it can be discussed during our initial meeting. My practice is in Kew. I can also offer online supervision.
