I have been involved in various forms of therapy for the past twenty thirty years, I began my professional career within the caring profession in the U.K. from 1972 through to 1991. Initially in 'Child Care Assessment Teams then after gaining a Diploma in Social Work and Certificate of Qualification in Social Work I transferred to a local authority Children and Families Division taking up the position as a Children and Families social worker as a Child Protection Social worker. I later also under took Mental Health specialist training as an Approved Social Worker responsible for carrying out Mental Heath Assessments in the community under the then, Mental Health Act 1983.
I later was appointed to the position of Child Protection Manager within local a area social work area office and later in hospital settings with a number of Local Authority Social Service Departments in London. I have also undertaken work as a Guardian ad Litem and Adoption Reporting Officer in both contested and uncontested adoption cases. Since leaving social work I have also almost completed and gained a Doctorate Ph.D in Psychology.
I have jointly practiced Family Therapy and group work with psychiatrists from and attended courses at the Tavistock Institute London. The London Borough's Training Unit and other colleges until I left the U.K. for South East Asia in 1990. Since that time I have been fortunate enough to continue practice and have travelled extensively throughout Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia The Philippines and other areas of S.E. Asia. In Thailand for a number of years I also solely developed and managed a hospital based 'medical' related clinic which was apart from my therapy practice.
It was during my early years as a child care assessment worker that I developed an interest in Family Therapy and Group work as a Social Worker. I then became involved and developed an interest in 'individual' psychotherapy and counseling. As stated previously over the years I have studied and attended numerous courses and lectures on both family Therapy, group work and individual therapy covering many schools of thought.It was during my early years as a child care assessment worker that I developed an interest in 'individual' psychotherapy and counseling. As stated previously over the years I have studied and attended numerous courses and lectures on both family Therapy and group work and individual therapy covering many schools of thought.
Although many of the therapeutic schools of thought cover 'common' ground they are also very different in approach. What has developed within my practice, especially in relation to gender realted therapy a is an 'eclectic' approach in that it enables me to integrate the main proponents and key features of these various approaches that meet the circumstances and needs of each individual client. Thereby, enabling me to work with my client on the three specific levels of functioning, namely, feeling, thinking and behaviour. In short, as some therapeutic approaches are not wholly suitable to e-therapy by taking a 'eclectic' behavioral approach I am able to draw upon theoretical constructs which are most beneficial to the individual clients needs.
During the early part of 1991 I left UK social work and relocated to Southeast Asia. Where I soon after arriving became involved indirectly with the local transgender community whilst being and more on an international level, as a manager and counselor within a Gender Change Clinic gender change located within a hospital setting, The clinic provided both general cosmetic surgery plus SRS and feminization procedures. I became involved with the clinic after being approached by the hospital manager who suggested I create a website and set the clinic up, the clinic was successful and still runs well to this day.
Further since leaving Social Work and the UK in 1990 I have been fortunate enough to carry on with my practice, related reading and professional studies. Apart from my social work qualifications gained at Kingston University London. I have undertaken degree level studies in psychology, social sciences and a further Diploma in Psychotherapy. I have also undertaken training in and gained certificates and diploma's in Psychology, Supervision, Rogerian, Gestalt , RET Behaviour Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Brief Therapy, Journaling, Hypnosis, and other psychotherapeutic and Cognitive Behavioural approaches and counseling.
I then moved to the Philippines in 2000 where I have continued my involvement with the transgender community worldwide, by creating this and other websites that provide an online counseling service which are dedicated to the needs of individuals with gender identity disorders. From that time onwards and previously, I have with a deep inetrest studied extensively gender related issues and throughout my doctorate studies and rsearch which focused on transgender related studies, transsexuality, cross dressing and human development.
Finally throughout my social work career and beyond, I have been fortunate enough to not only practice generically, but also to keep abreast of current research as plart my professional studies and development . Apart from my social work qualifications gained at Kingston University London and my Master’s and Doctorate degree mentioned above. I have undertaken degree level studies in psychology, social sciences, gender and a further Diploma in Psychotherapy. I have also undertaken training in and gained certificates and diplomas in Supervision, Rogerian, Gestalt, RET Behaviour Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Brief Therapy, Journaling, and other psychotherapeutic and Cognitive Behavioural approaches and counseling.
