You can contact me by email or phone to check my availability. 

I work in Chiswick and Hammersmith, both locations are close to transport links. 

There are many reasons why you might be here looking for a therapist. Life can be challenging and sometimes we are faced with things that are too difficult for us to manage on our own. Perhaps there is a particular issue or circumstance you are struggling with. Difficulties in your relationships might be causing distress or you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns and behaviour. It helps to have someone alongside to provide emotional support and to talk it through with. Just having someone really listen to you and a space in which to focus on yourself can be a powerful experience.

Perhaps there is no specific issue but you are feeling unhappy or dissatisfied with your life. You might feel stuck or lost or unable to find enjoyment in anything. Maybe you feel anxious and depressed and aren’t sure why. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space in which to express and explore these feelings- a place to speak them out loud, perhaps for the first time. Working at your own pace we can start to make some sense of them and find a way through together. 

Therapy can help us with challenging, confusing and painful periods of our life. It can also offer a place of personal growth and development, a way to get to know ourselves better. Together we can develop new ways of understanding and thinking about the issues you bring. We can explore what other choices and possibilities you have so that you can create change and live your life more fully.

I have a diploma in Integrative Counselling from the Minster Centre where I am currently working towards my Masters in Psychotherapy. My approach is relational and integrative, meaning that I draw from a range of theories and approaches, depending on what is best suited to each individual client. 

I see therapy as a collaborative process, the foundation of which is our relationship. Picking the therapist who is right for you is important and often the process can feel daunting. I offer an initial, free telephone conversation where we can explore what it is you are looking for and what you would like to get from therapy.
