About me and my therapy practice
We can sometimes find ourselves feeling overwhelmed with the struggles in our lives and unable to share them with others. Attending therapy can be the first step to helping you to feel better.
I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in your own time. As a part of this, trust is essential in a successful therapeutic relationship, and it works both ways.
Practice description
I am an experienced counsellor and hold a first-class BA honours degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. This approach utilises a range of theories (including Humanistic and Psychodynamic) which enables me to tailor my work to each client's individual needs. Meanwhile, keeping the relationship between client and counsellor at the heart of the work.
I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and fully adhere to their code of ethics.
I have experience both within the NHS and other agencies working with adults aged 18+. I offer both short and open-ended therapy, depending on what your specific concerns are.
I work in person from my office, close to Surbiton train station with excellent transport links. There is also free parking nearby.
As I believe that it is important for therapist and client to have the right "fit", I offer a free 15-minute initial telephone conversation. This enables us to explore your expectations and needs and ensure that you feel I am the right person to help you.
My first session
Our initial session offers a space to explore what has brought you to counselling and whether we are the right fit to work together.
We will then collaborate to create a plan for addressing your concerns and support you on your way to feeling better.
