London

In my own life I have had to face many challenges, find my own strength and rely on my inner resources. This is why I became a counsellor, I qualified in 1998 and later achieved my registered/accredited status with British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Personal counselling helped me accept myself and gain a better understanding. It has also made me much more resilient in dealing with whatever issues life threw at me. Now, I help others to find their own strength and sense of self through counselling and more recently, poetry therapy. We are all unique and follow our own paths towards change. I know you can change, if that’s what you desire. Having a confidential space, where someone listens to you attentively, and in a non -judgemental manner is the first step. Together, we can explore the sensitive issues which you would prefer to put to the back of your mind, but which keeping nagging at you. I have been on this journey myself, and for over twenty years I have worked in various capacities with people from all walks of life and have seen great results. Contact me for an initial conversation. Additional experience In addition to managing a counselling service working with trauma and abuse. I have extensive experience as a supervisor of other therapists. I also teach personal development courses at City Lit, adult education college in Central London. I have also facilitated personal development groups for counselling diploma students. Poetry therapy Over the past decade, I have come to experience the transformative power of words. I have facilitated poetry therapy groups and therapeutic writing workshops in a wide variety of settings, including clinical settings, schools, churches, libraries, museums, prisons and The National Archives. I am one of a handful of Certified Poetry Therapists in the U.K, who have completed their training with the International Federation for Biblio/Poetry Therapy in U.S.A.I trained under the mentor ship and supervision of Victoria Field. Currently I only offer poetry therapy in groups. Do visit my workshop page to find out about current workshops / groups or sign up to my email list below. My Book: Writing for Resilience After implementing therapeutic writing programmes in a wide range of settings. I have used this expertise to produce a workbook. The book began its life during a poetry therapy group that I facilitated for women survivors of trauma in Central London. Together the group decided that they wanted to offer hope to those who had been through similar circumstances and introduce other people to the fantastic resource that is, writing as therapy.

Kew Learning combines all the advantages of private tutoring with those of learning in a classroom environment. Many children struggle in large classes at school, as teachers are unable to meet the individual needs of 30+ students at any given time: some children are left to struggle through work they do not fully understand, while others may be bored and unstimulated by work they find too easy. At Kew Learning, by working with small groups, we can provide tailored, sensitive support and teaching according to the needs of your child, while also maintaining the focused, collaborative environment of a school classroom. Our lessons cover multiple fields, from curricular subjects like English and Maths from primary to secondary level, to extra-curricular activities such as Mandarin Chinese, Junior Computer Programming, Speech & Drama, Chess, Painting and tuition in Musical Instruments. Our courses are specially designed for different age groups, so you can rest assured that your child will receive the best support for their educational needs, as well as learning in a fun, stimulating environment. Inspiring Tutors At Kew Learning, the quality of our tutors is at the heart of what we do. All of our tutors are hand-picked for their experience and expertise in their given fields, so you can expect only the best teaching for your child. We look for tutors who have a genuine passion for their subjects, which they can instil and inspire in their students. All of our tutors are DBS checked and undergo a rigorous application process to ensure that they are driven, academically accomplished and, most importantly of all, inspiring teachers. Moreover, we ensure that our tutors are equipped with the best teaching resources, lesson plans and materials to ensure that your child learns according to a constructive and progressive scheme of work. This also allows us to assess and respond to each child’s individual needs and to gain a thorough understanding of how they learn, while providing parents with periodical academic reports so you can stay up to speed with your child’s progress. Exciting Learning Environment Children learn best when they are engaged, focussed and comfortable. Our Twickenham centre is a lively, friendly and well-equipped teaching environment, but most importantly it is a safe place where children can feel at home and develop a passion for learning. We’re confident that the moment you step into the centre, you’ll want to sign up for our classes, come see for yourself! A Culture Of Encouragement At Kew Learning we celebrate every child. Too often, schooling can focus on test results, league tables and assessment criteria. We recognise, however, that the best teaching is achieved by developing the confidence of the individual and ensuring that, for them, every learning experience is a positive experience. Certificates, stickers, reward boards and our prize cabinet are just some of the ways that we celebrate our students’ efforts and achievements. Furthermore, a great deal of research shows that rewarding children for persistence and thinking intuitively has a positive effect on their academic attainment. As such our reward system focusses not only on results, but also on the quality of thinking and the process of reaching those results. Frequent & Open Communication You know your child better than anyone. That’s why it’s important that you are involved every step of the way. Tutor’s written feedback after every session ensures you are always kept up to date with your child’s progress. What’s more, our monthly reports give you a thorough and comprehensive insight into your child’s work, areas where they may be struggling and their progress through the curriculum. We’re always available to discuss progress and answer questions, keeping you up to date curricular developments and offering parent information evenings on a whole range of topics.
