Radma Mahmood

I am a qualified accredited adult and child counsellor working in an integrative way which means that my approach is client-centred, attachment-based and interpretive. I work with children in child-led play and in private practice. I work with bereaved children at Grief Encounter and, I offer long-term counselling to adults in private practice who might be coping with the effects of childhood trauma in their present lives. I worked for 2 years in Garfield School on Counselling Placement for Place2Be.
