I am currently offering three free supervision sessions. After the third session, if you would like to continue with supervision. The cost will be £65 per session. 

I am currently offering online supervision to counsellors or trainee counsellors who work with adults, children and young people.

I believe we all need a space to reflect, a space to feel accepted, understood and supported. This will enable you to gain a deeper awareness of your therapeutic work with others and grow your therapeutic practice. 

I have 14 years of counselling experience. I have worked with The Place2Be as an Assistant School Project Manager (ASPM), providing weekly supervision to our volunteer counsellors. I have worked as a bereavement counsellor and as a therapist working with children who have experienced and witnessed domestic violence.

I currently run a counselling and play therapy service in West London. I work with children and young people who live and/ or attend school in the North Kensington area. I also work with adult clients 19 + years. 

I am also a support worker, supporting adult clients with neurological conditions such as dementia or who suffered from a traumatic brain injury. 

I offer a free initial telephone or online consultation. The consultation is for you and me to decide if we would like to go on your supervision journey together. Please contact me by email to arrange an initial consultation.

Currently supervision is offered online (over Zoom). 

I am a fully qualified and registered Counsellor for Children and Young People. I use a combination of evidence-based treatments including;- Attachment therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Integrative, Play Therapy, Person Centred and Psychodynamic.

Prior to commencing supervision, our therapeutic approach will be discussed to ensure we both have an understanding of the rationale for our approach when working therapeutically. This will include identifying any risks and to gain further understanding of the work.

I hope that supervision will be a collaborative and creative space for you to grow and develop your therapeutic practise

What you share with me about your clients is confidential. I do discuss my work with supervisees in my supervision; if I discuss my work with you I will not reveal any details that would compromise your client’s identity or your identity (unless required to by your training organisation). If I consider you to be at risk to your clients I will break your confidentiality, where practical I will inform you first of my need to do this.

I am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), abiding by their ethical framework. 

An initial consultation is either online or by telephone. This is a free consultation which lasts between 20-30 minutes. The consultation is to help us both decide what you would like from supervision and if we can do this together. 

I am currently offering three free supervision sessions. After the third session, if you would like to continue with supervision. The cost will be £65 per session.

The therapy

When someone decides to come to therapy, it may not have been an easy one. However, it is an important one you have now decided you want to make a change.

What might bring a person to therapy could be interruptions to enjoyment of the big and little moments in life: past trauma; bereavement or loss; low self-esteem; procrastination; and relationships (past/ present). There are many other reasons, there is no fixed list. Whatever it is that has made someone seek therapy it is an acknowledgement that the issue(s) can no longer be ignored.

About me

I have worked as a counsellor for over 13 years. I provide therapy for Children (4-13), young people (13- 19), and Adults 19+.

My therapeutic work with children and young people is based on play therapy and talking therapy. Each session is mainly led by the child or young person in whichever medium they feel comfortable with (art, sand tray, etc.) Sessions can be time-limited several planned sessions up to a maximum of 6 sessions is recommended) or open-ended.

I have experience offering support to adults (and their families) who are living with neurological conditions (such as Dementia, Huntington's Disease, Alzheimer’s) and traumatic brain injuries.

I have previously worked with The Place2Be as an Assistant School Project Manager and counsellor. I have volunteered for various organisations and have volunteered as a bereavement counsellor and a therapist for a domestic intervention programme.

I am committed to my therapeutic work to support others to help build resilience, emotional well-being and good mental health. I do not give advice, but I am here to explore options and support to help make positive decisions and changes.

My personal and work experience has shown me compassion. No one’s story is the same. I believe we all need a space to be, a space to reflect, to feel accepted, understood and supported.

How I work

I use a client-centred approach. I feel that core conditions of empathy, respect, unconditional positive regard and being non-judgmental are an important base to any human relationship.

Therapy can help to open us up to face the difficulties that can be holding us back. Therapy’s not perfect, it’s not prescribed and can be challenging.

Knowing yourself is a lifetime’s work and a great challenge for everyone. Our past experiences can have an effect on our resilience in times of distress or life-changing events. This can then impact our coping mechanisms; how we manage the relationship within ourselves and with others. During therapy, working through the challenges can help to rebuild resilience and emotional well-being.

The focus of our work together stems from what you bring to your sessions - past or present. Sessions can also be solution-focused if there is a particular area in your life that is causing concern.

Therapy cannot alter what has happened in your past, but it can help to repair your past; to help change negative thought patterns and feelings. Therapy can make a difference to you now, and for your future.

Please send an email if you would like more information or to book an initial consultation.

I offer a free initial online or telephone consultation, to discuss what you want from therapy and for you to decide if you would like to go forward with me.

Please contact me by email to arrange an initial consultation.
