Profile
I am an experienced Integrative counsellor/ psychotherapist. I provide both short and longer term in depth contracts to suit your needs. For me it is important to provide a safe, respectful and non- judgemental approach for exploring your issues. I feel that the facilitation of a person's ' wholeness' to improve their quality of life is one of the most important features of Integrative therapy. I attempt to bring together all aspects of the personaltiy such as feelings,perceptions and unresolved conflicts into a cohesive whole, which can then encourage the client to approach life more positively. My role is to facilitate your work in ways that respect your values, personal resources and capacity for choice within your cultural context. Choosing to be in therapy is being open to exploring possibilities.
I offer therapy in BARNES and RICHMOND within easy reach of HAMMERSMITH, CHISWICK, FULHAM, SHEEN, MORTLAKE, PUTNEY, ROEHAMPTON, WANDSWORTH, KINGSTON and WIMBLEDON.My approach emcompasses Psychodynamic, Attachment theory, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT), Person- Centred and Gestalt approaches to offer a way of working that is tailored to your needs. Integrative therapy is an approach that emphasises the value of all individuals.
In addition to my private practice in BARNES and RICHMOND I am also a registered nurse and have been working in the field for over 20 years. Nursing interventions are concerned with empowering people and helping them achieve independence, this links in with my work as a psychotherapist, which also looks at healing, growth and development whilst working in partnership.
I have also worked overseas, and gained practical experience and cultural insights from working with people from many different ethnic family backgrounds.

Health issues
Fees
The initial ASSESSMENT is between 1- and one and a half hours, it is a flat rate of £45.00. The purpose of the intial meeting is to assess whether counselling and psychotherapy is for you. At this meeting we would be able to discuss therapy fees which would depend on your financial circumstances. The therapy session usually takes place once a week and will last 50 minutes.
I do appreciate how difficult it can be to decide whether or not you need counselling. I seek to foster a confidential and ethical service that gives my clients the space to explore all issues that are important to them.
Further Information
Counselling is your time......
Most of us at one time or another will experience difficulties with our thoughts, our behaviours or our relationships.
How do I move on after a relationship ends? Understanding what went wrong is an important step towards recovery, rather than blaming yourself. Therapy can help you let go of the past, deal with your feelings and look forward to the future.
Redundance can leave you with feelings of worthlessness, failure and shame. A huge sense of relief is usually experienced when the problem is shared.
Some people seek counselling to help them explore a general feeling that their lives are not quite right; a vague feeling of being blocked which can have an impact on all areas of their lives.
