I am a 42-year-old MBACP accredited Online Psychotherapist with a degree in counselling and currently obtaining an MSc in Mental Health Sciences . I have experience in a variety of work settings with clients ranging from general to severe difficulties. I apply an integrative approach using psychoanalytic, CBT, and person-centred skills that will adapt my approach accordingly using a relational model that suits the client’s individual’s needs. My clients have ranged from vulnerable adolescents and adults acquiring attention for extreme behavioural problems, to those looking for lifestyle and well-being maintenance or more general counselling. I have worked extensively with anxiety and depression, mood regulation, and attachment difficulties. My counselling practice serves to oversee their emotional and psychological well-being through a nurturing, supportive environment employing mindfulness techniques that help with distress tolerance. Having maintained a private practice with Harley Therapy I have also had experience working in recovery units in Hackney and Parental support with social services for the council. I understand the importance of organisation and maintaining healthy relationships with clear boundaries. I administer referrals, and setup assessments in the step care process of an individual’s needs.

I run face-to-face- sessions online using Zoom. The first session usually involves talking therapy where I can get to understand your situation, what it is you are looking for, and discuss what I can do to help. Should you decide later on that you would like to engage in a therapeutic relationship with me, we would continue weekly (or bi weekly upon request) with a review after 6 sessions. I charge £55 per session and all sessions are 100% confidential. Payments are debited weekly from the 2nd session onwards and can be cancelled at any point if you wish not to proceed with the therapy. PLEASE NOTE: this type of therapy is integrative so do expect some structure and activities (videos, worksheets, card, mental health education)

CANCELLATION POLICY:

Any sessions you would not like charged need to be given 2 weeks notice. Should you wish to skip a session on the week your session is due, you will have the option for a makeup session so long as it falls within two months of the date missed and will be responsible for organising the date to make that up. These cannot be refunded.

Should I need to cancel a session, you will not be charged for that session.
