“When you can’t look at the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark” Lewis Carroll.

Counselling can help you to understand your current circumstances and make changes for a more fulfilling life. 

My approach is person-centred underpinned by existential psychotherapeutic principles. This means that I believe struggles in life are inevitable and that we have the innate capacity to heal. I offer a safe, respectful, confidential space that welcomes all that you bring to each session. My aim is to support you to develop an understanding of what makes you the person you are, how you respond to life, relationships and yourself, in order to encourage a gentle reconnection to your inner wisdom and freedom. My hope is to help you build your inner world so that you can choose how to respond to the challenges that you encounter.

I have extensive experience as a bereavement counsellor having trained and worked with Cruse, the bereavement charity. I have also worked for Age UK, counselling adults over 50 years and for YMCA- Dialogue in Brighton and Hove with young people (students). 

Specialisms

I am a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor in private practice. 

As my work has evolved over the years I have become particularly interested in how loss and early life experiences are experienced and manifest in our ways of being. 

I have worked with many issues including depression, life changes, anxiety and stress, grief, loss, identity, relationship issues, life meaning and fulfilling one’s potential.

I offer therapy to individuals over the age of 18.

Daytime sessions £60 and evening sessions £65  (5pm onwards)

Hackney-based close to Hackney Central, Homerton, Hackney Wick, Stratford
