My Philosophy

I believe that individual differences play a very important role, in the way we perceive, understand and respond to others around us. For that reason, everyone needs to be understood and approached in their own context; in terms of the journey that has brought them to this day and the aspirations they have for their future. I believe that we have incredible strengths to cope with the most difficult situations life can bring us. We can outgrow abuse and neglect; deal with pain and suffering; overcome disappointments and failures. Therapy is the most significant journey into our “psyche” that lets us become aware of our strengths and more importantly, accept our weaknesses.

My Approach

I have been studying human behaviour for more than 30 years and it still fascinates me as much as in my first days as a psychology student. I’ve trained in several therapy models including CBT, Person Centred, Behavioural, Cognitive and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy models and have specialities in Systemic Family Therapy. I am an eclectic Psychologist using various models and techniques according to my clients’ needs.

As a psychotherapist, I believe I have been very lucky as I meet, listen and understand many people coming from all different ethnic and minority backgrounds. This has allowed me to develop numerous skills to “hear” and “connect” with individuals at times when they feel most misunderstood and lost at the certain crossroads of their life. The healing power of being understood and accepted, with all the vulnerabilities they have, frees them from the restraints of their own “mind” or “psyche”.

My Motivation

What motivates me can be making a child smile or supporting someone who is in a dark place. I am a firm believer in life-long development and growth, as well as in the importance of reflection and the courage required to change. The road which drives humans to growth and wisdom comes from frustrations and suffering.

A Little More About Me

I meditate daily, take long mindful walks, read and write. I talk to my daughter daily who is the fun and joy of my life.

I offer everyone a Free of Charge Pre-Assessment Telephone Consultation

The fees below are for a 50 minute face to face, telephone or video counselling session.

Self Funded Treatment

Fees £130 - £220. These are dependant on circumstances and situation.

Health Insurance

Most national and international Private Healthcare companies are accepted including (but not limited to):

Bupa Global
Allianz
Cigna
Healix
Aviva
WPA
and more…
It may be possible to use your private health insurance to cover the cost or part of the cost of your appointments. Each healthcare provider have slightly different policies but most of them are happy for you to approach us directly in the first instance.

Some private healthcare companies require a referral from your GP in order to access your policy. GP’s are often happy to provide a referral following a phone consultation instead of a traditional face to face appointment in the surgery as it is more time efficient.

With the above a quick call to your healthcare provider should allow them clarify these details.

It is worth noting that not all policies will cover the full cost of your treatment. We will advise you of the availability of healthcare appointments, and any cost implications in your initial enquiry.

Some healthcare providers have fees which are different to our self funding rates detailed above. If these are less than our own rate we have to ask that the shortfall is made up by the patient. Please just remember to tell us who your provider is as soon as possible to avoid any confusion when booking.

"I would just like to say a big thank you for everything you have done for me.  When I came into therapy I had no idea in what way it could help, in the past I thought honesty was the answer to all and since I had already achieved that I was unsure how therapy would work for me.  I never thought it would be so, but I honestly believe that having a fuller comprehension of myself has really helped me come to terms, understand and be at peace with myself.  I feel much more grounded and in no way out of control".–

"My husband and I tried a number of counsellors in Fulham before we found The British CBT & Counselling Service. It was such a different experience to the ones we had had before and this time it actually seems to have worked! I would recommend that if you are struggling in your relationship you should try them”.

“I have been having Online CBT Counselling with The British CBT & Counselling Service for about 9 months and it has made such a difference. I struggled for years with an eating disorder and depression and I really feel like I’ve got my life back. The online CBT Counselling programme fitted in with the long hours I work and it actually felt more supportive that other types of counselling I have tried because I had contact with my psychologist up to 3 times a week. I am so glad that I tried this approach and would recommend it to anyone who needs help sorting out a problem”.
