About me and my therapy practice
Lets find a way...
My role is to support you as you find a new way through whatever has brought you to counselling. As you talk and reflect, I support your process of thinking/feeling your way forward. Sometimes, the most important thing is just to tell your story, and sometimes just to think strategically in order to tackle a particular problem - very often, it's a bit of both!
I have been working as a counsellor for fourteen years now. My initial training was psychodynamic at post-graduate level, along with person-centred bereavement support work. From my training at Goldsmiths, I remained with Cruse Bereavement Care for eleven years as a bereavement supporter, supervisor and trainer. Before I became a counsellor, I worked for many years as a college lecturer in further education and nine years as a Samaritan volunteer.
My other line of work is as a Life Celebrant, producing and delivering funeral services.
Practice description
I work in a community centre in Blackheath, south London; and I am also available to 'meet' remotely either by phone call or a video call.My hours are -
Mornings: Monday to Thursday
Evenings: Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
Within these parameters, I am happy to work in a flexible way with appointments where that is logistically possible. However please be aware that I will charge for less than 24 hours notice of a change in plan.
I currently charge £65 per session, and I offer reduced fees for those on low incomes.
My first session
A first session is all about hearing your story and also to be clear whether or not you have come to the right place. Usually, we make some sort of plan as to how to use the sessions but this remains flexible. It's also important to chat about the practicalities such as times of meetings, fees, contracting etc.
