my approach
CONSCIOUS THERAPY:
Conscious Therapy embodies my distinctive approach to guiding both individuals and couples through their therapeutic journeys.
While it draws heavily on neuropsychological insights to unravel the intricate drivers and impulses governing human behaviors, it is fundamentally anchored in my relationship and couples therapy expertise.
This combination facilitates profound insights, enabling clients to navigate their relationships and individual challenges with enhanced understanding and intention.
My profound personal interest in addiction care is deeply rooted in my own journey, having witnessed the trauma of addiction's impact on families and loved ones firsthand. My partner's battle and subsequent loss of life to addiction have instilled in me a passionate commitment to supporting those affected by this devastating affliction.
QUALIFICATIONS & TRAINING
I am currently pursuing my MSc in Clinical Psychology at London Metropolitan University.
I possess a PG Dip. in Neuropsychology and have earned an accredited certification in Addiction Treatment (Clinical Skills) from Yale University.
My interest in relationships and the impact of relationships on our self-esteem and mental well-being led me to pursue extensive professional training in Couples Therapy. I achieved my certification in The Gottman Method through the Gottman Institute and also hold a diploma, and advanced training, in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT).
I am also an accredited Transformative Life Coach with training in NLP (Neuro-Linguistics-Programming)
From a corporate academic perspective, I earned a BA in Marketing and Communications, from the London School of Marketing and CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing.)
I enjoy contributing to media publications and collaborating with journalists in sharing insights into relationships, the intricacies of human interaction, and the importance of forging healthy connections with others.
Corporate experience
With an initial career background in luxury brand management, I enjoyed a successful international career in the luxury industry, it was during this time that my interest in mental health deepened and I began to recognize the importance of our ability to connect well with others.
From early on, I mostly excelled in leadership and management roles within the creative, and competitive luxury fashion industry, working at a corporate level for top-tier brands such as DKNY and Louis Vuitton.
It was my particular skill set around conflict resolution and having a good understanding of the needs of others and how to get the best performance from them, that led me to supplement this by completing further studies in psychology.
Eventually, I found myself working for an award-winning medical agency, as a communications manager, before taking on counseling full-time.
I have completed many courses and qualifications in psychology, relationship studies, addiction care, and mental health so far.
I am currently working toward my clinical training.
I am convinced that our ability to form healthy connections and relationships with others has a direct impact on our mental health, productivity and well-being.
