I am a UK trained Psychodynamic Counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have lived and worked in Antigua since the early 1970’s.
I am fortunate in having been able to work in a wide variety of settings with people from many different cultures and walks of life. Besides a four year post graduate training in Psychodynamic Counselling, I was trained by (and worked with) the ‘Samaritans’, an international organisation providing confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide. Recently I have undertaken training in EMDR. Besides my regular private practice, I have also worked as a school counsellor in Antigua and draw on my yoga background in assisting clients to become more aware of the factors affecting them in the ‘here and now’.
At present all sessions in my private practice are virtual. Clients are seen only by arrangement using the HIPPA compliant telemental health platform Doxy.me. I also work part time at The University Counseling Centre of The American University of Antigua, addressing a variety of issues including addictions; obsessive-compulsive disorders; phobias; post-traumatic stress; personality disorders; depression; anxiety and relationship difficulties.
I abide by the Ethical framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy as laid down by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. In Antigua and Barbuda, I am insurance approved by Sagicor.
