Initially qualifying as a Medical Doctor I have worked in the NHS for over a decade in mental health, including time leading a Psychosexual Therapy service. In addition to my private practice I also currently work in NHS mental health education in London training healthcare professionals; in charity locally in Surrey, as a therapist and trustee, and for a national charity supporting individuals wellbeing in group courses post cancer treatment. 

Registered as a member of BACP and COSRT my trainings are Integrative, Psychodynamic and Systemic. I hold a 'pluralistic perspective' utilising a range of therapeutic approaches to best support your needs, considering current challenges and less conscious /historic influences. I work relationally with a facilitative, curious, inclusive, affirming and non-judgemental /depathologising and trauma informed approach; aimed toward growth, acceptance and empowerment. I also provide forest therapy to provide a enhanced 'being space' and extend my emphasis on relational wellbeing through connection with nature. 

For all services I offer a free introductory call (/zoom) of 15-20 minutes to provide a space to answer any questions about working together. My approach includes clear contracting and review throughout therapy or coaching, appreciative of agile practice and needing to change direction as indicated. Session length generally is around 50mins, but can expand to 90mins for family/ group sessions. I offer single session work, short to longer term (6+months), working weekly to biweekly for therapy and monthly for coaching. I also offer some intensive work across school holidays on request.

General costs from £90 Individual Sessions- £120 Couple's/ Family Sessions 

I believe in trying to support making therapy or coaching accessible for all and use a sliding scale model for those experiencing financial challenge, offering some low cost appointments for the concession areas above and also for those on maternity / paternity, registered carers and those with caring responsibilities. Please let me know at contact whether you need a fee reduction.

As a Relationship Therapist I hold the core, and evidence held belief, that the outcomes of therapy are largely dependent on the therapeutic relationship itself. It is imperative to me that the space we create together feels safe enough, affirmative, inclusive and strength based. In addition to offering a free introductory call I welcome questions about my practice at all stages of working together; inviting feedback and open dialogue throughout sessions to work most effectively.
