I am no longer available after 5pm

Have you been feeling anxious, unhappy or overwhelmed? As a BACP-accredited counsellor with 10 years’ experience I can help you reach a stronger place emotionally. I am welcoming and non-judgemental. 

Like many people at some time in life, you may be experiencing difficulties with relationships, with your family, or at work.These can be related to a general sense of sadness, demotivation or uncertainty that you would like to understand and overcome. Or there may be an event or issue in your life that you are having trouble coping with and would like to resolve.

Feeling happier, calmer and more confident is achievable for anyone.

I offer counselling in a safe, confidential and supportive environment. You will feel listened to and understood. Contacting a therapist for the first time can be daunting and you've taken the first steps. I am happy for you to phone, text or email me to make your first enquiry and arrange a time for an initial, informal chat.

My experience includes supporting troubled families for a London local authority, work at Parentline and with a bereavement charity, and for the counselling service at a University and further education college. I currently work part-time as a student counsellor in a mixed secondary school. I am BUPA registered.

My training is BACP approved – The Professional Diploma in Integrative Counselling at the Mary Ward Centre 2008-10. I have undertaken further training in CBT, bereavement and in working with teenagers. I am also employed as a tutor in Counselling Skills by a charity that works in an addiction centre, prisons and at Crisis.
