I am a Person-Centered and Existential counsellor. I provide a counselling relationship where you can feel safe, supported and understood. We will work alongside in a way that is comfortable for you, at your own pace and suitable to your needs. 

I work with everyday life problems: relationship issues, stress at work, lifestyle difficulties, illness, loss of partner, complex challenges that gradually build up over time, or sudden unexpected events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsure, unable to move forward.

I work with common mental health problems: anxiety, panic attacks, suicidal thoughts, depression, lack of purpose in life, lost meaning, low self-esteem. I will support you to reconnect with the inner resources you may not know you have. 

I guide my practice by the Values and Principles in the Ethical Framework of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapies (BACP).  

I offer mainly face to face sessions, long-term and time-limited consultations. I also offer Single Session Therapy, an innovative evidence-based approach tailor-made to achieve specific and more immediate outcomes.  

In our first session I will listen to what brings you to counselling. I will 'put myself in your shoes' and appreciate the challenges you are facing, from your point of view, in your life as it is now. 

This is the time to ask questions, to define concerns and expectations, to get a feel how working together will be.  I will try to match your style and preferences. 

Finally, we agree our best way of going forward. Open to change as we go along. No obligations.
