About me
We start with what you bring...
Are you experiencing anxiety, panic or psychological distress?
My work focuses on gently exploring what is going on for you, without any judgement. I can help you where you are at with it all, and what or who has led you to this moment. I offer you the space to be heard and together we'll find a way forward, starting with what you bring.
You may be feeling scared of symptoms which may include, but is in no way limited to:
- the inability to think and find a way out from where you are,
- negative thoughts,
- flashbacks,
- physical symptoms,
- inexplicable pain,
- emotional dis-regulation
- and feeling overwhelmed, or no feelings at all.
I can help, I practice as an Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor, this means our sessions create a unique place to explore what is going on for you through a tailored approach to guide you through your experience. You are key to understanding you, I know how to help you navigate this time in your life.
Integrative Therapy can bring about a deeper understanding of who you are, resulting in new choices becoming available from our work together - perhaps before you were feeling overwhelmed, numb, stressed, scared or depressed.
I can help you, so please call me to have a chat.
Sometimes life can be daunting with unresolved losses and bereavement, separation and anxiety. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life and driven by behaviour you can't shift.
" It's not my past that's a problem it's my everyday."
You maybe experiencing addiction or repetitive thoughts and actions that have stopped you from fulfilling your sense of self. Whatever you bring, whatever has brought you here, I will be here, and hear you without judgement.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold an accredited British Psychological Degree (BSc (Hons) Psychology and a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) and I am a member of the BACP and adhere to the ethical framework, ensuring I work confidentially, legally, safely and ethically.
I worked for some years at the Priory Roehampton as part of the team on WEST wing, an acute psychiatric and addictions in patient ward. More recently, for Headstrong Counselling as a Therapeutic Counsellor.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Additional information
My fee is 65.00
I offer concessions and discounts if you were to book sessions in advance; for example if you were to book a block of 6 session, you would only pay for the price of 5 and so on. I do operate a sliding scale for clients which is income related - this can be discussed with each client.
I also encourage a pay it forward pricing policy, so if you find my services of help, you may want to support other less financially able to access my services.

Further information
I am working online which is particularly useful if you are looking to work longer term. I can arrange sessions to suit you and I can offer more flexibility than if I was working in person. Working in this way does not hinder the therapeutic relationship but offers each client to work in a way that connects our work with your environment rather than mine.
