How can I Help You? 

• Are you beginning adult life and finding the transition to being a grown-up with responsibilities difficult? 
• Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood or negative thoughts which impact you on a daily basis?
• Do these thoughts and feelings affect your friendships and other relationships?  
• Are you overwhelmed by a recent trauma or bereavement and  struggling to make sense of your feelings?
• Do you feel angry, frustrated, insecure, confused, depressed or have low self-esteem? 
• Do you have body image concerns or experience bouts of disorderly eating?
•  Are you finding it  difficult to understand your emotions and how life's experiences have impacted you? 

I can help you work through these issues and more.

I am an experienced and specialised young persons' counsellor who connects so well with my young clients.  I have 13 years experience and a proven track record of helping to process and resolve difficult emotional experiences. 

I have helped many young people work through issues like trauma, self-harm, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, family breakdown, body image issues and disorderly eating. 

I provide a safe space where together we can explore and process painful thoughts and feelings which might feel overwhelming or difficult to think about. We work together side by side, at your own pace.

My clients feel safe, heard and understood, often for the first time. 

Therapy is a space to gain self-awareness and understanding about ourselves. This means acquiring insight into how we as individuals experience our lives, our friendships and relationships, and how these affect us on a daily basis.  Therapy equips us to understand our struggles and make the best choices going forward. 

Whatever issues maybe impacting you don't keep it yourself or remain isolated. Yes, it may feel daunting to reach out, but feeling heard and understood will help feel much better. 

Do Kindly contact me. 

My Aim is for Therapy to be a Good Experience for You.     

I believe each young person needs a space where they feel heard and understood.  This ultimately promotes feelings of empowerment as each person feels equipped to decide what works best for them and make the right choices going forward.

I am specially trained to work with young people. I have an MSC in  Young Adult and Adolescent Counselling and Psychotherapy. 

I am also an accredited member of my professional body (BACP).  This is a professional qualification of proficiency which is attained after a number of years in practice. 

I can have sessions with you online, or in-person in my practice in Chiswick. The therapy room is a generous, comfortable and bright space within the settings of a lovely modern building. There is a waiting area with refreshments, toilet facilities downstairs and wheel-chair access.

My therapy is client led and non-directive so you decide what we discuss each week. 

I'm a warm, empathic and non-judgemental counsellor who connects very well with young people. 

I work with diverse young people in different educational settings,  those at the onset of their careers, or those still deciding what to do. I also work with adolescents.

Because you're a young person and sometimes finances might be tight, we can agree how much you pay for each session.

Email or contact me to request a free 15 minute video consultation or telephone call where we'll discuss what you need help with and how we might work together.

The initial session will be our first meeting and an opportunity to get to know each other.  

You may feel a little nervous initially; I will help relax you.

If you don't know what to say; I may ask questions about your family relationships and friendships to gain some insight into the issues for which you have come to therapy. 

If it's your first time in therapy, you'll experience during this session how I will listen, understand and empathise with you. I also give my young clients lots of positive regard. This is essentially, is how we will work together. 

 At the end of the session I may suggest themes which might be helpful to explore in subsequent sessions.  You decide when you feel ready to explore these further. 

You may also have questions you wish to ask me.
