About me

Counselling in Hither Green 

Welcome. I am an experienced mental health practitioner and therapeutic counsellor who practices co-creatively in support of your journey of growth and healing. My training is integrative, narrative and person-centred. My approach is one that respects your lived experience and acknowledges the social and political underpinnings of our psychological and emotional lives. I can offer a range of therapeutic approaches to personal and relational difficulties, mental health challenges, trauma, grief, anxiety and depression. We can undertake life review, build resilience and resist oppressive narratives. I have supported many creative people in music, acting and arts. I support people working in social justice activism. I am LGBTQ+ affirming. I am a member of the Climate Psychology Alliance. If this sounds like what you are looking for, please get in touch to arrange a free introductory call. I look forward to our conversation.

Wheelchair user access
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.
