MBPsS, MBACP

I provided trauma and bereavement counselling for the 7th July Assistance Centre, working primarily with those involved with the London bombings in 2005 and with those affected by terrorist incidents from around the world. I also provided counselling to both the bereaved and survivors of the Bali bombings 2002, the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004, the Sharm el-Sheikh bombings of 2005, and the Dahab bombings 2006. I provided one to one counselling, training, and group support for the bereaved and survivors. From October 2010 to March 2011, I was part of a small team providing psychosocial support to the families and witnesses throughout the Coroner's Inquests into the London Bombings.

In 2003, I joined Brent and Hounslow Bereavement Services. My work for Hounslow Bereavement Services is ongoing, and includes looking at new and innovative ways to expand the charity's field of enterprise as well as providing one to one counselling. Current counselling commitments include private practice with vulnerable clients, and students pursuing a career in counselling.

I have participated in several international forums related to terrorist incidents. In March 2009, I took part in the DCMS "Lessons learned by the 7th July Assistance Centre." In July 2010, I participated and addressed the International conference held in London by the charity "Survivors of Terrorism" into "Protocols in Emergencies," and in June 2011, I represented "Survivors of Terrorism" at a conference in Madrid held by the "Network of Associations of Victims of Terrorism" (NAVT).

I'm a member of the British Psychological Society, the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (MBACP). I hold a BA (Hons) Psychology from Warwick University and a Diploma in Integrative Counselling.
