About me

"What if you truly approach your life from the perspective that life is happening for you? A failed relationship, a miserable job, an unsuccessful diet, the challenges, the storms…what if you examined all of the crap that has happened “to” you and chose to see where it all has led you—to see where it is leading you? What if you realised there was a purpose for every circumstance of struggle, challenge, and difficulty? Could you stop and appreciate these moments of darkness and realise they are necessary to guide you to the light in your life? You have the power to change your focus, to change your perspective, to change your life. Through acceptance and presence, you can choose to stop waiting for life to happen—choose to make it happen. Instead of waiting for a change, create a change. Every experience is important and necessary, even the challenges. They've taught you, they've carried you forward, they've nudged you back to your true path, they've expanded your consciousness. All that has come before and all that is yet to come exquisitely nourishes the evolution of your being. Listen to your life. Flow in acceptance. Allow life to happen for you. Be love." Creig Crippen

I'm a firm believer that people begin to heal the moment they feel heard...where you are right now is unique and deserves the exact right care. I work to ensure you are heard, nurtured and cared for within our time together.

I am one of the co-founders and Clinical Director of Sofalive, creating a centre for all to access face to face low cost and private therapy as well as an online platform designed to give everyone professional and affordable therapy from the comfort of their own home. My previous experience as the Counselling Co-ordinator for The Awareness Centre, has also created great confidence to work with diversity and I have a number of years of experience within NHS GP surgeries as a Psychotherapist and Counsellor.

My private practice is very local and offers convenient access to and from Central London via Streatham Common or Streatham station and is directly opposite bus stops with straight forward routes to and from Brixton, Tooting or Croydon.

I encourage a brief chat to start, in which making a booking can then be arranged.
