Training & Skills
I have an undergraduate degree in Medicine (Bucharest, Romania, 1983) which led me to obtain an MPhil in Medicine (University of Birmingham, 2002). In 2006, I decided to change career and began my training in Psychotherapy.
At the start of my psychotherapy career I worked at a Secondary school and Sixth form, setting up a Counselling Service to support young people through their process of growth and development. Now I work mainly with adults (over 18 years old).
Ethical Good Practice
I am a registered UKCP Psychotherapist I adhere to their Ethical Code of Conduct.
I am a Graduated Member of the Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and a Certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist (London Focusing)
I have Professional Indemnity Insurance and have an up to date enhanced DBS check.
Self-Care & Professional Care
On a regular basis, I am involved in further training through engaged Continuous Professional Development. I have monthly Clinical Supervision as a way to take care of my clinical caseload and helps me maintain high quality in my work.
Voluntary work
I support Birmingham Mindfulness for Health - a Breathworks course that is ideal for anyone living with pain, illness, anxiety and stress.
