Profile

Counselling can be accessed for many reasons, but in all cases a close supportive collaboration between therapist and client is of great importance to a successful outcome.  Whilst the process of counselling is not about offering advice, it is compassionate and accommodating and moves forward at a pace that you, the client, finds comfortable. Whether addressing short and specific problems, or longer journeys to rediscover your sense of well being, most of my clients achieve a greater perspective of their difficulties when empowered to do so.

I am a fully qualified and experienced counsellor, trained in integrative counselling, which means I can draw on many theoretical approaches to offer you the type of counselling that suits you best. I offer a confidential service in a peaceful environment for an agreed length of time on a weekly or two weekly basis. The first session is free to explore whether you are happy for us to work together.

I have my own practice in Penge, London SE20 and also see clients in NHS Primary Care at a Lewisham Health Centre.   

I am used to counselling people, young and old, from a diverse range of backgrounds and with many different types of problems, including depression, anxiousness, lack of self-confidence, anger, loneliness, bereavement and relationship difficulties to name a few.

I am a member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy and abide by their ethical guidelines.
