About me
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Coach, Clinical Supervisor and Group Facilitator, with over 14 years' experience providing therapeutic support for individuals, couples, families and young people.
I have worked with a diverse range of people over a wide range of issues, and have a proven track record of helping many individuals to reach a happier, more contented place in their lives.
I combine psychotherapy and counselling with practical coaching tools and tips to support, encourage and empower clients who want to overcome psychological and emotional stress or discontentment, to heal from negative past experiences, improve their current situation, increase their self-awareness and make positive changes for the future.
Generally I offer support to clients dealing with issues such as anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdowns, lack of direction and low self-esteem.
My passion is in supporting clients to have better interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships as well as greater personal fulfilment.
I work with you as the whole person, supporting you to gently identify and remove psychological and emotional obstacles, such as limiting beliefs, childhood conditioning or lack of clarity, that might be blocking your path to the happiness and contentment you deserve in your life.
Relationships hugely impact all areas of our lives. We relate to other people in our home environment, at a place of education, in the workplace, as well as romantically and socially. Our relationship with ourselves is also included in that. If you are a part of society, then relational interaction with other human beings is basically unavoidable and the reality is - if our relationships are healthy and well-functioning then that is how we will be. If they are unhealthy and dysfunctional, then they will affect our lives negatively and can cause harm in so many ways. Anxiety, depression, low self-worth, anger, paranoia, insecurity, sadness, low mood, physical aches and pains are just some of the negative effects that bad relationships can have on our mental health. Left unchecked over time, these symptoms can spiral into much worse ones and leave you living in a way that does not align with the life you want to have.
I invite you to consider the following questions:
- Are you experiencing negative emotions on a consistent basis?
- How aware are you of getting your needs met in your daily life, and of meeting the needs of others?
- Do you have healthy boundaries when it comes to friendships, colleagues and close, personal or romantic relationships?
- Do you know what healthy boundaries are in this context?
- Do you know what a healthy relationship or friendship should look and feel like?
- Do you know how to effectively improve a relationship or friendship that isn't working well, or when to give up on it?
- Do you have a decision to make but are not quite sure which way to go?
- Are you seeking greater enjoyment or fulfilment from some area of your life, but feel unsure as to how to go about making it happen?
- Do you feel stuck in a particular situation or mindset that you want to get out of, but are unsure how to make it happen?
If you would like to explore any of these topics in a safe and collaborative environment, I am waiting to guide and support you.
I will offer a listening ear and a patient, friendly, non-judgemental space where you are welcome to speak freely. Together we will explore what is troubling you, and work out how best to improve your situation.
As well as sessions for individuals, couples and families, I also run various workshops on these topics, for small groups and individuals, which you can find out more about here:

I look forward to working with you!

Further information
WHAT TO EXPECT
Sessions can be done in-person or online, and can last for a duration of 45, 60 or 90 minutes each, depending on your preference.
They will usualy be scheduled on a weekly or fortnightly basis, but can be scheduled at a different frequency if that is your preference.
The 15-minute Intro call can be an online video call or a phone call. It is intended to be an introduction of therapist to client and will help to determine if the service will be a good fit for you.
During the call, I will ask some questions to gain understanding of what you would like to work on and the best way to proceed. We will also discuss session availability, plus your preferred frequency and timing. Additionally, I will explain how I can support you in my role as your therapist, and you will be welcome to ask any questions you might have.
In-person sessions take place at a comfortable therapy room close to London Liverpoool street and Bank stations.
Online Sessions take place via Zoom
Telephone / video counselling sessions also last 50 minutes and are arranged in advance, where we agree a suitable day and time for me to call you.
Therapy Plan
Sessions can be paid for individually as you go, or can be bought in blocks of 6, 9 or 12. For blocks of sessions you will receive a 5% discount off the price.
