Let me introduce myself.  I am a trained counsellor who is currently working in a high school in London, England, but who will be going off into the world of private practice in Sept 2013.  I am hoping to get some further training, and will specialize in working with children, teens and young adults, aged 10-25, as well as parents.  I come primarily from a CBT background, but am interested and have taught about  many other modalities of therapy.

In this blog, I hope to help those who are interested in therapy to explore their many options, learn more about mental illness and find links to a variety of topics.  If I see an article I find interesting, I’ll post it here as well.

The one thing I will never do is blog about my patients.  I hold their information under strict confidentiality guidelines.  If I post anything from my own point of view about mental health, it will be about very generic topics which I have read about, rather than about the work I’ve done with clients.

I hope you enjoy and feel free to comment on my posts!
