Trainee psychologist offering free course of therapy for fatigue & distress in chronic illness


Recommended Posts

People living with long-term health conditions often report experiencing some level of fatigue and distress related to their condition. For some people these symptoms can get in the way of living a meaningful and valued life. Psychological therapy can help people with long-term conditions manage these types of symptoms and work towards living a fulfilling, valued life.


I am a chartered psychologist and have conducted research into fatigue and adjustment in long-term conditions for a number of years, developing and testing a number of programs to help people with these issues. I am now expanding my clinical skills, completing specialized training as an applied health psychologist.


I am seeking clients with long-term conditions who would like support with fatigue and/or low mood and anxiety.

I am offering:

- 4-6 therapy sessions,

- each lasting 60 minutes.

- conducted in King?s College London, Denmark Hill

- at agreed times and dates.


I use evidence based techniques, integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and relaxation techniques.


My practice offers a supportive environment to explore sensitive issues within an open, collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship.


If you would like to find out more please get in touch and we can discuss it further.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
