About me and my therapy practice
I believe every person is unique, and an expert on their own life and experiences. I practice person centred therapy which is a humanistic approach to therapy developed by the psychologist Carl Rogers. My approach is grounded in the belief that individuals have the capacity for personal growth and self awareness and, given the right conditions, can navigate their own path toward psychological wellbeing.
I believe that the person you are today is a product of every experience, interaction and relationship in your life to date. My approach is informed by my belief that all people should feel supported to understand themselves whilst exploring goals, challenges and aspirations for the future. Without this understanding, our past may well continue to influence decisions in the future.
Areas of specialism:
Anxiety
Low self-esteem and low self confidence
Relationship difficulties and family issues
Loss, bereavement and grief
Cancer diagnosis for both patients and their immediate family
Practice description
My private practice where I offer face to face sessions is based in Hookwood, suitable for clients based in Crawley, Horley and Reigate. There is free parking available on site.
I also see clients on line via video calls.
My first session
