About me

I'm a qualified and registered Psychotherapist. I can help you if you are struggling with Depression, Anxiety, Stress and I focus on helping you restore your self worth through your current difficulties.

I work 'in-person' sessions and online. I meet my clients during the week in London & Sevenoaks, including evenings and Saturday mornings.

My aim will be to help you understand how you live your life and to encourage you to find helpful ways to you live with greater happiness and satisfaction. I’ll be there to listen to what you really want, and then support you with how to get it.

Our lives are influenced by many aspects of our experience and whilst the past may be influential, our work would focus on you gaining a sense of how you are in the present.

I have found that helping my clients understand how they live life can be uplifting and immensely rewarding. In developing a greater sense of how they want to be they find the best and most enjoyable way to live moving forward.​

I have experience of working with a wide variety of personal circumstances including Depression, General Anxiety and Stress, Panic, Trauma, Personal Crisis and Self-Esteem, Bipolar Disorder,/Manic Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder.

When we meet I will commit to helping you find the best way to be, either working with short or long term feelings and experiences

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
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.
