Harriet’s Background
I have over 15 years’ experience of providing individual and couples therapy with clients wishing to develop, maintain, repair or perhaps end their intimate relationships.
I worked as a Health Psychologist at Guy’s Hospital before training at Tavistock Relationships in Individual and Couples Psychodynamic Therapy. My experience as a Clinical Lecturer, Lead Trainer and Supervisor in Couples Therapy for Depression Training has given me valuable experience of couples therapy. I also work with therapists on Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services in the NHS.
Supervising both practitioners and supervisors privately and in the NHS has enabled me to share my knowledge. I have also successfully delivered specialist short courses as well as presented my work at conferences and training events.
My publications include co-authorship of the book “Couple Therapy for Depression: a clinician’s guide to integrative practice” Hewison, Clulow and Drake (2014) OUP.
Harriet’s Approach
At the initial session I will discuss the exact nature of your problems and look at when issues first came to light. I’ll ask about your current family circumstances, early experiences and family history, in order to know you better. By the end of your first session we’ll start to discover and understand patterns that may be impacting upon your situation and how therapy might help you.
Follow-up sessions are usually scheduled weekly at the same time although other arrangements may be possible. I offer time-limited and open-ended therapy depending on your specific needs.
