I work within a holistic practice at Joseph Clinic which has been established for over 40 years. Other therapies on offer at the clinic are osteopathy, homeopathy, acupuncture and hypnotherapy. I also work as part of a wider network of psychotherapists, counsellors and clinical psychologists in East London.

I work holistically as an integrative counsellor which means I integrate various counselling concepts, models, techniques and approaches to work with clients to achieve their goals. I work creatively and with flexibility in the best interest of clients at all times. I have had additional specific training in CBT which is the NHS preferred treatment option. I can also teach relaxation, meditation and mindfulness to clients so they can become calmer, clearer and consciously intentionally aware of the present moment and the benefits of this.

I am passionate, positive and energetic about my work and acknowledge the importance of the whole person - mind, emotions, body and spirit.

I was proud and honoured in 2008 to be nominated as a best practice provider for UK Government and public sector workers. You can see my details listed as a preferred procurement provider at: www.sourceuk.net/portfolio_company/profile/9038/andrea_harrn.html.
