Perhaps you are suffering after bereavement or the ending of a relationship, or perhaps you are in a relationship that feels difficult. You may be overwhelmed by feelings of depression or anxiety, or perhaps want help with anger management. You may be living with old behaviour patterns or deep-seated beliefs that contribute to your unhappiness or pain.
Fortunately, through counselling, it is possible for you to find some relief from feelings of unhappiness or distress, even if they feel overwhelming.
Through counselling, you can experience: Greater self-awareness and insight; increased intimacy in your relationships; ease with anger and other difficult emotions; development of self-acceptance and self-appreciation; familiarity with your strengths and choices.
Training, Qualifications & Experience
“I work with people who are feeling distress in their relationships or other life experiences. What they all have in common is that they want to find some relief from the difficulties and setbacks.”
I have more than 20 years experience of working therapeutically with adults and children, offering help with the difficulties, setbacks and sufferings that are part of our human experience. I offer a calm and reflective space with open interest towards whatever arises. Attentiveness, inquiry, alertness and curiosity are some of the qualities of this counselling space out of which we often discover different and surprising perspectives.
I hold qualifications in counselling, counsellor supervision and group facilitation working privately and within organisations. As a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy(BACP) and the British Association for the Person Centred Approach (BAPCA), I work in accordance with their guidelines for ethics and good practice. I am accredited by the Counselling Society.

Further Information
You can contact me for a free telephone consultation: an opportunity to find out what is on offer and whether it might help. Taking things further, we can arrange an initial session for more in depth exploration and to give you a sense of the way that we might work.
Following this, I usually suggest an initial six sessions before committing to a longer working relationship, if required. If you want to work on a specific issue then brief, focussed therapy may be an option. For deeper, more complex exploration as well as for continued support and personal development many people choose ongoing sessions.
Practice within easy reach of all areas of North West London, also North London, West London, East London, Central London, Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.
