About me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist and therapeutic counsellor with over 30 years working experience as a clinician. I specialise in long term psychotherapy and am also available for 6 sessions and then review for longer term.
Having lived and enjoyed the rich experiences of both the East and West and having studied psychotherapy, I can greatly appreciate different cultures and family roots and the issues that can arise. I have worked in the care of people throughout my careers in counselling, psychotherapy and nursing, I value the uniqueness of the individual and their concerns. I can work with clients who are experiencing the effects of illness and safely explore containment and management.
My approach
My approach is caring, sensitive yet incisive, always holding the well-being and safety of the individual foremost.
I use my time with an individual to evaluate their needs, hear their issues and support their anxieties. My aim is always to give the individual a safe space in which to explore their issues and face their difficulties.
I am sensitive to the links between physical and psychological health and how they relate to each other.
Psychosynthesis Psychotherapy and therapeutic counselling (my original training) focuses on the potential of the individual as well as the past and present, helping to realise their true worth.
Psychosynthesis offers an approach to see the person as a whole with choices and not just someone with presenting diagnosis and symptoms.
When am I available?
I offer daytime and evening sessions. Weekend sessions can be negotiated.
Where am I available?
Currently I practice at London SW4 and SW16.

I offer an integrative approach using my skills drawn from psychosynthesis modality, behavioural tools, psychodynamic and interpersonal models.
