I am a BACP registered, integrative counsellor with many years of experience. I work in a relational way, creating a safe and confidential space in which you can explore what you are struggling with.

Some of the things I work with are - difficult and unwanted feelings, complex relationships, anxiety, depression and recovering from trauma - just to name a few.

A bit about me

I’m a fully qualified practitioner based in Chiswick, West London. I also work online and I have a practice in Wales.

You will be able to share your inner most feelings and emotions and feel heard. You may want to tackle an issue that's effecting your present or you might want to work through something that happened in the past so that you can move forwards.

Together we can find better coping strategies (particularly helpful with anxiety and low self-esteem) and foster a greater sense of inner peace. We can also work on a deeper level, really getting to know the parts of you you’d rather not look at and the behaviours that sabotage your life. I normally find there is great intelligence to all these behaviours and discovering more about this, with kindness and empathy – that’s where the change can happen.

I work with different modalities including Transactional Analysis, Gestalt and Person-Centred theory.

I am a compassionate, empathic person and I am radically curios about my clients’ unique experiences.  I celebrate diversity and my practice is inclusive and ethical.

You may wish to do short term therapy which might be 6 sessions, or we can do ongoing long-term work.

Why you might want to see me

You may have an obvious goal or specific issue that you want to tackle, or you may just feel alone, unfulfilled and struggling to find a purpose.

You may want some support navigating a narcissistic parent or partner?

Do you want to hold on to the good relationships in your life?

Do you want to understand why you might sabotage the things you want?

Do you want to unlock and start to love hidden parts of yourself - parts of yourself that you perhaps lost to traumatic events?

How It Works …

Get in touch

After you have reached out to me I will offer a 30 minute phone call/zoom free of charge. This is for me to find out more about what you are struggling with and to assess if I am the right person to work with you. Equally you can meet me and see if it feels comfortable working with me.

First Session

Our first session will be a further exploration of why you are seeking therapy and you can get a better sense of how I work.

Ongoing Therapy

If you decide you’d like to work with me I recommend at least 6 sessions and then you can review if you want ongoing therapy. Sessions are 50 minutes and usually at the same time each week. I work online and face to face - whatever suits you.

Fees

I charge £75 per 50 minute session

  • Fees must be paid in advance of each session.

  • I have a 48 hour cancellation policy or the full amount must be paid.
