About me and my therapy practice

Sometimes, it might be difficult to share your thoughts and feelings with your family and friends. I am a fully qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor (MBACP), Integrative Psychotherapist (MUKCP) and Doctor of Counselling Psychology (DCPsych), aiming to offer you a safe and confidential space to explore what is on your mind. I provide individual Counselling and Psychotherapy sessions in person/face-to-face as well as remotely (online and over the phone). I have worked in a variety of settings (adult counselling services, NHS, the Higher Education Sectors) providing Counselling and Psychotherapy to clients from all walks of life (students, young adults, older clients). This has made me realise that ‘one size does not fit all’ but that my therapeutic approach needs to be specifically 'tailored' to the individual client's needs. I hold a DCPsych degree and an MSc degree in Psychology with Distinction (first-class honours degree), a Clinical Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and a Clinical Diploma in Integrative Psychodynamic Counselling.

My underlying values as a practitioner encompass recognising the centrality of the multi-layered therapeutic relationship and ‘meeting’ my clients as complex human beings. I endeavour to maintain an authentic, non-judgemental stance of openness and curiosity while focusing on my clients’ needs, aspirations and presenting issues in the context of their unique social and cultural background. Some potential benefits of counselling and psychotherapy might be managing stress and anxiety, developing a stronger sense of Self, the ability to set boundaries and greater self-confidence, regaining emotional balance, increasing assertiveness as well as building more fulfilling and supportive relationships.

Practice description

Some of the issues that I work with include abuse, addictions, health anxiety, performance and social anxiety, bereavement and loss, body image concerns, bullying, cultural awareness and/or alienation, depression, discrimination, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and interpersonal issues, Self and identity, sexuality, trauma, work-related stress and more.

My first session

I understand that choosing a counsellor or psychotherapist can be a daunting task. It is for this reason that I offer all prospective clients an initial phone call (free of charge) and an Initial consultation at a reduced price (£30) without commitment at this stage. This first meeting will give you the opportunity to ask any questions, related to my practice, therapeutic stance and theoretical integrative model, training and/or experience, as well as to discuss professional practice issues, such as confidentiality, fees, cancellation policy, etc. We can also talk about the issue(s) affecting you, and your expectations of therapy. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have before booking a session.
