Profile
Did you know that one in five Britons has consulted a counsellor or psychotherapist?* You are certainly not alone in turning to professional support to help you through a difficult time. Counselling and psychotherapy is valuable to so many people at some point in their lives. I practice out of Canary Wharf in the Docklands in East London.
About me
I am a registered psychotherapist in private practice. I am a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) as well as registered with the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapists (UKCP) and abide by their ethical guidelines. This means that I am an approved practitioner and am regularly supervised to ensure professional practice.
My areas of work
I work generally with adults facing common human difficulties. We all go through rocky periods in our lives and therapy can help you smooth a way forward. Some examples of how therapy can help you move through difficulties include:
- Understanding what might be causing problems and repetitive patterns.
- Clarifying what direction you want to take in your life.
- Exploring problems with intimate relationships or family members.
- Overcoming trauma - be it from childhood or more recently.
- Coping with loss and bereavement.
- Managing workplace issues such as stress, bullying and career decisions.
See me in Canary Wharf or by Skype (from anywhere in the country)
I work with adults in person at my practice in Canary Wharf in the Docklands of East London. I also offer therapy by Skype to individuals who find it difficult to access therapy in any other way. You can find out more about Skype therapy at my website (www.counsellingcanarywharf.co.uk). The practice is less than an eight-minute walk from Canary Wharf Underground Station (Jubilee Line) or 4 minutes from West India Quay DLR station. This is less than a 15-minute journey from London Bridge, Bank, Tower Hill, Greenwich and Stratford.
* The statistic, of 1 in 5 Brittons consulting a counsellor or psychotherapist, comes from the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. For more information, see: http://counsellinginpartnership.bacp.co.uk/media/index.php?newsId=2066&count=538&start=66&filter=&cat=&year=

Different rates apply for Skype Therapy when clients are permanently based outside of London, have certain circumstances or disabilites meaning they can not see me at my office.
I am able to accept payment by cash or cheque after each session (if I see you in person) or through Paypal by prior arrangement. Paypal allows you to pay for the session securely online using your credit card, debit card or bank details. I am also a recognised provider of insurance companies such as PruHealth and Aviva.
Further Information
At your first session, or assessment, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. I will be honest with you about how we could work together to tackle the difficulties you are facing. If you then decide that it is for you, we will agree an initial time frame to work towards and review your progress regularly.
