I am a fully qualified psychotherapist and counsellor with a First-Class Honours degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. Along with private practice, I have several years of experience working as an in-house psychotherapist at a busy GP practice.

Integrative-relational counselling draws on a range of psychological theories, including psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, somatic therapy, mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). I believe therapy should be as unique as you are, and this approach allows me to collaboratively tailor how I can best support you, your experiences, and your needs so that you can get the most from your sessions.

My aim is to offer you a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental space and relationship that allows you to feel heard, understood, and empowered. Having gone through counselling myself, I have directly experienced the life transformation that good therapy can have, and it inspired me to become a psychotherapist.

I offer short-term and long-term counselling, online or in person in Richmond.

Fees:

Free - Introductory Call

£65 - Online Sessions

£75 - In-Person Sessions

*I offer a limited number of reduced rates for students, OAPs, and those on lower incomes or unemployed. Please contact me if you'd like more information.

What You Can Expect

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, and it’s normal to have questions or uncertainties. My hope is to create a warm, safe and welcoming space where you can explore whatever you like at the pace that feels most comfortable to you.

Free Introductory Call

Finding the right therapist for you is essential to a successful counselling experience. Therefore, I offer a free 20-minute introductory call to help you decide if I’m the right therapist for you. This is an opportunity to ask questions you may have, to share what you hope to explore in counselling, your goals, anxieties and needs, and to get a feel for whether my approach aligns with what you’re looking for. If we choose to proceed, we will discuss our counselling agreement and book your first session.

I offer online sessions via Zoom.
