Profile
I am an experienced, accredited counsellor and psychotherapist with N.H.S. training and experience. Seeing a therapist is a deeply personal matter and so you need someone who can relate to you both personally and professionally. Working with clients of all ages and backgrounds, I use an integrative approach to find a way of working that we evolve together, that suits you and helps you.
I work in Harley Street, Central London and from my home on the South Coast in Bexhill-on-Sea. To learn more visit www.anderidatherapyltd.com. A free initial consultation is available so you can experience working with me without obligation.
Training, Qualifications & Experience

Fees
Fees are related to an ability to pay. In London, my fees range from £45-£100 per session; my normal fee for the peak times is £75 for individual therapy and £85 for couple therapy. Concessions are available as I am always willing to take people's financial situations into consideration.
In Bexhill-on-Sea, where I work from home, my fees are £45 for individuals and £55 for couples but I am always prepared to make concessions where my normal fee is not affordable.
As going to see a therapist can be a huge step I make the first session free. Additionally, once a decision has been made that you would like to work with me, I offer an option of a 25% reduction on my fees if you book 6 sessions in advance. This is, of course, conditional to you attending all the sessions, or paying for missed sessions unless an emergency make attendance impossible. I make this reduction because I believe that regular attendance helps the client to gather momentum in his/her therapy.
If you would prefer not to make that commitment, a week's notice is required of a cancellation or the usual fee will fall due for the session. Alternatively, a rearranged session during the same week may be possible.
Further Information
As a former lecturer in Counselling Theory, I have a detailed knowledge of how to help people with a wide range of diffculties. These include: anger management, feelings of hopelessness, bereavement, anxiety, tension and stress, phobias and compulsions, eating disorders, and addictions. I also deal with work related issues such as bullying and trauma.
As a psychosexual therapist, I work on sexual difficulties and issues of all kinds, including abuse, gender and orientation questions. As a couples therapist, I work with people experiencing unhappiness with their partners.
For me, three important therapist qualities are to have an interest in people, curiosity and openness. I offer both short and long-term work. If you have any questions, do please get in touch.
