About Jill
I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist and Counsellor with Advanced Diploma practitioner training in Humanistic Integrative therapy (accredited by the BACP). I am also a qualified Systemic Practitioner, able to support families, couples and other systems. I am a registered and accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Experienced therapist
I am highly experienced in working with survivors of trauma including victims of war, torture, persecution and domestic violence. I also have extensive experience in a range of other issues including:
Trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches
I am trained to deliver a range of therapeutic approaches including person-centred therapy, Gestalt, psychodynamic psychotherapy, CBT and Transactional Analysis. I adhere to the BACP’s Ethical Framework and Professional Conduct Procedure.
My clinical training took place at Newham Action Against Domestic Violence for child and adult survivors, GMI partnership (Positive East) for the LGBTQ community, Mind for Tower Hamlets and Newham and Croydon Child and Adolescent Service (CAMHS). As a qualified counsellor, I have worked at the NSPCC, Off the Record in Croydon, The University of Worcester, The Children’s Society and The Anna Freud Centre.
Aside from maintaining private practice in Moseley, Birmingham, I am in the leadership team of the Black and Asian Therapist Network (BAATN), a national body that works to engage therapists, practitioners in health and social care and community with minority-ethnic experiences.
Prior to my counselling and psychotherapy training, I worked extensively for over 13 years as a Practitioner and Manager in a range of statutory and voluntary-sector education, youth, community and child protection agencies. I have a Masters in Critical Theory (sociology, literary and philosophy critique) and qualified as a Community Artist to degree level. I use my learning in both these areas to offer a uniquely challenging and reflective approach to the therapy.
