I currently have availability during the day and some limited evening sessions .

Counselling helps us think about what is currently happening in our lives . The way we react to  a set of  circumstances or problems  can be rooted in our past , which then effects how we react to these in the present. My role as a therapist is to listen to your story and to work with you in a supportive and containing way to make sense of what is currently causing you to feel depressed, anxious, stressed or worried.

By validating the importance of your feelings, it  enables us to work together within the therapeutic relationship to explore  and think about possible ways forward. 

I am experienced counsellor and have been counselling for 16 years since finishing my training at Roehampton University.

I work in an integrative and relational way which is informed by both Psychodynamic and humanistic ways of thinking. This means that it is a non- judgemental ,safe and confidential way of working. 

I work either  face to face at my home or  remotely using Zoom or WhatsApp or via the phone .

I offer an introductory session for prospective new clients . This is  an opportunity for the client to talk about the issues that have led them to seek counselling now. This provides a chance for  us to meet and for the client to experience the way I work .
