I offer daytime and evening weekday appointments. Please contact me for up to date availability.

As an experienced and accredited counsellor and psychotherapist, I care deeply about what I do. You may be depressed, anxious, stressed, angry or have relationship problems or work-related difficulties. I will listen to you with empathy and without judgement so that can I see your world through your eyes and so that you feel heard. If your thoughts and feelings are confusing, conflicted or unclear, I will work with you collaboratively to unravel and make sense of them.

I approach my work with hope and optimism and will work alongside you to explore and understand the roots of your difficulties so that you can gain new perspectives on them. A greater understanding of yourself can give you the freedom and autonomy to make positive and lasting changes in your life.

I am an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by its Code of Ethics and professional standards. I have completed a rigorous five-year BACP accredited training and hold an Advanced Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling. I have also completed specialist training in eating disorders. As well as running my private practice, I am also a tutor on a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling course. In the past, I worked for many years as a volunteer for the charity Family Lives, where I supported individuals struggling with different aspects of parenting and family life.

Whilst I have worked with people from different walks of life and backgrounds and with a wide range of issues, I treat each client as an individual whose unique experience is more important than the symptom.

I offer face-to-face sessions in comfortable and quiet therapy rooms in either St Albans or Harpenden. There is free parking available.

I also offer sessions online via Zoom or over the telephone.

Sessions are weekly, ideally at the same time and place each week and can be open-ended or time-limited.

I work on a one-to-one basis with adults aged 18 years and above.

I offer a free introductory  consultation so that you can see if I am the right counsellor for you. In this meeting, we would discuss has brought you to therapy and what you hope to gain from it. It would also be an opportunity for you to ask me any questions you may have about the process.
