About me
I have a counselling room in Gants Hill which is easy to access via public transport. I also see people at Cherry Tree Therapy centre in Buckhurst Hill. I also do walk and talk therapy in Valentines park in Gants Hill.
For anyone else either local or further afield I offer online work on Zoom or WhatsApp, or phone counselling.
I believe that everything we need to find happiness is within us. Counselling can help us to tap into unlimited potential
I am passionate about working with people who have low self esteem or acute anxiety. Have you been suffering for a long time listening to a very self critical voice and feeling that you are not good enough. I can help you begin to have more compassion for yourself and to start to believe in your untapped potential.
If you find that you are constantly feeling sad? I can help you find more happiness in your life. Do you suffer from panic attacks or chronic anxiety ? I can help you manage these.
I work with young people (14-18) adults and couples.
In your relationship, do you feel that there are unresolved issues? Do you feel stuck unhappy and that the spark between you has gone? I can help you start to feel more gratitude and appreciation of each other. Clients have said that after counselling their communication has improved so that they are better able to fulfil their own needs.
If you are a young person experiencing sadness or anxiety relating to school or university concerns, academic pressures , relationship issues or bullying I can help you.
I have had extensive experience dealing with bereavement. If you are feeling overwhelmed with grief and finding it difficult to move forward in your life I can help you manage the vast array of feeling you may be struggling to cope with. Clients have said that after counselling they were able to feel more at peace with their loss and were able to start to rebuild their lives.
I have worked in a drug and alcohol agency and have helped many clients struggling with addiction. I can help you rebuild your self esteem and develop your confidence.
Are you worried about your retirement.? Is the reality of retirement less promising than you hoped.? I can help you find a way through anxieties about the future, worries about your children and grandchildren.
I believe that we all have untapped potential within all of us that I can help you manifest and live a happier life .

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
Accredited register membership

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
