Currently i have some availability for home visits around the Carshalton area for house bound clients.

As clients book their sessions with me on a week by week basis this allows for more flexibility. 

I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and am passionate about providing a calm, honest and non-judgemental therapeutic space. 

 I help and support Couples, families & individuals through a wide range of issues to achieve a stronger sense of self and greater self-worth.

As well as working privately I have volunteered within a local organisation supporting those with substance addiction.

I am currently volunteering as a bereavement counsellor at a local hospice.

My specialist areas within my private practice are supporting clients who identify as intersex and helping those adults who were sexually abused as a child.

There can be many reasons for accessing therapy and it is well understood that this can be a daunting process. Reading this means you have taken the first step towards finding a Counsellor.

Being a Person-Centred Counsellor means that our sessions are focused on you. We will work collaboratively to find a pace that is comfortable for you to encourage a stronger sense of self and greater self-worth. This allows for a free and open conversation. I believe my clients know best about what they want from their therapy.

My approach to therapy is Person-Centred. I aim to offer a calm, honest and non-judgemental therapeutic space. As a result, my hope would be that you feel safe enough to unpack your feelings and concerns; increase yourself awareness and to move towards and reach your fullest potential.

when I accept myself just as I am,

My practice is in a beautiful and tranquil location along the East Sussex coastline. Counselling takes place in a safe space where your thoughts and feelings can be expressed freely; whether this is face to face or via an online platform (Zoom or Teams).

As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy I adhere to the BACP ethical framework, and I receive regular clinical supervision from an accredited practitioner.

Initially, I offer a session for clients to talk about what they would like to gain from therapy. Within this time I will listen to you, offering a calm and non-judgemental presence. I will provide you with the information that you need to make an informed decision regarding your therapy during this session. You decide what you would like help or support with. You as my client are at the centre of our work and we will explore whatever you choose to share with me.

After this session, if you feel I am a good fit for you, we can look to book in future sessions that fit in with your schedule. These will be 50 minutes each.

individual online £60

individual face to face (in own home) £65 plus any parking fees

Relationships however they are made up & whatever they look like can cause confusion at some point. Perhaps you feel Lost or Stuck with your emotions? Are you experiencing feelings right now that are overwhelming, or maybe it feels too difficult to talk to anyone right now. Maybe these feelings been ignited by a past trauma or event in your life which have been triggered by a recent event. You are not alone and do not need to feel that you are.

I am a qualified Person-Centred Counsellor and passionate about  providing a calm, honest and non-judgemental therapeutic space.  I help and support couples, families & individuals through a wide range of issues to achieve a stronger sense of self and greater self-worth. 

As well as working privately I have volunteered within a local organisation supporting those experiencing Loss, Grief and Bereavement. Previously I have volunteered in Agencies giving support to those experiencing  substance addiction specifically drugs and alcohol.

There are many reasons for accessing therapy and it is well understood that this can be a  daunting process. Reading this means you have taken the first step towards finding a Counsellor.

Are you seeking a safe space as a couple but unsure where or how to begin. I offer an initial session, if you decide i am the right person for you we can discuss how as a couple you would like your sessions to progress.

My hope would be that you feel safe enough to unpack your feelings and concerns; increase your self awareness and to move towards and reach your fullest potential.

As a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy I adhere to the BACP ethical framework, and I receive regular clinical supervision from an accredited practitioner.

In our first session i invite clients to talk about what has brought you to therapy and what you would like to gain from our work together. Within this time I will listen to you, offering a calm and non-judgemental presence. I will provide you with the information that you need to make an informed decision regarding your therapy during this session. You decide what you would like help or support with. 

As my client you are at the centre of our work and we will explore whatever you choose to share with me.

Individual sessions are 50 minutes Fees £60. 

Couple sessions are             1 hour    Fees £80

                                                   1.5hrs    Fees £120

I started life working with young people where I gained extensive experience of child development, as well as understanding many of the problems facing young people today. Later in life I worked with older people presenting with a variety of mental health issues which include addictions, dependency, loss, and bereavement.

Today I work not only with individuals but also couples. I recognise that relationships can be complex and as such often bring issues that can be difficult to navigate around. In therapy i offer a safe and none judgemental space where everyone has the opportunity not only to speak but also to be heard. 

Choosing this profession was not a difficult decision for me as it was my own positive and personal experience as a client that led me to train as a person-centred therapist. I am passionate in my belief that everyone has the right to be their true selves, but I realise that on occasions this part of us becomes buried. Mostly we can manage life’s daily challenges, but I understand it can be difficult when we feel overwhelmed.

It’s important to choose a therapist who offers a non-judgemental and confidential space where you feel safe to unpack and explore emotions. Within my practice our therapeutic relationship will provide you with empathy, compassion, and acceptance.

Working together I can help you understand your thoughts and experiences better and so aid you in your personal growth and development.

As a person-centred therapist in today’s climate, I believe it is important to support those who otherwise would not have access to therapy. So, as well as my private practice I continue to volunteer within a local organisation offering bereavement support. Previous volunteer work has included working with those who have either a substance and or alcohol addiction

My approach to therapy is Person-Centred. I aim to offer a calm, honest and non-judgemental therapeutic space. As a result, my hope would be that you feel safe enough to unpack your feelings and concerns; increase yourself awareness and to move towards and reach your fullest potential.

Making a choice to speak with a therapist is not easy and i understand this. In our first session together i will invite you to tell me a little about yourself and what brings you to therapy. If you feel able to tell me what your goals from therapy might be, i will listen without judgement. I will work with you and help you to slowly make the changes you need to reach your potential.

If you decide to continue with future sessions with me i will work with you at your pace. It is up to you how many sessions you have.

individual sessions are £60 for 50 minutes

Couples sessions are      £80 for 1hour

                                   or        £120 for 1.5 hours
