One of the first steps towards addressing challenges such as anxiety, low self esteem and depression is finding a counsellor that you are comfortable working with. I am an experienced non-judgemental counsellor who works with adults and young people from age 12 upwards in a discrete environment in convenient locations in Epsom and Coulsdon - daytime or evenings.
If you are currently at a time in your life where you are facing issues and difficulties past and present, which you are finding overwhelming and distressing, counselling can help to identify repeated behaviour patterns which may be restricting you and preventing you from reaching your full potential.
My aim as a counsellor is to be part of this journey, by helping clients both adults and young people from age 12 upwards to find a way through their challenges. My approach is to be non- judgemental, professional, supportive, caring and empathetic in order to work with whatever you deem is important. This is done in a confidential space.
I offer afternoon and evening sessions either face to face or remotely to anywhere in the UK on Skype.

Training, qualifications & experience
Who am I?
Fully qualified with a BSc Degree in Integrative Counselling.
I currently work in private practice with adults and young people and also as a College counsellor.
In addition I have a good knowledge of child protection issues and of internet offending. I provide a one to one counselling service to support non offending family and friends of people affected by internet offending.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I practice with a range of theoretical approaches including Psychodynamic, Existential and Person Centred according to your needs.
I have worked in private practice, the NHS (both hospitals and GP Surgeries), teenage counselling projects and School counselling. This has provided me with the experience of working with both adults and teenagers to explore a range of presenting issues including working with suicidal feelings, child abuse and depression.
I am insured and a member of BACP and work in accordance with their Ethical framework.
I have undertaken additional training for the Protection and Safeguarding of children.

Other areas of counselling I deal with
Additional experience and training in young people's counselling and counselling for friends and family of people affected by internet offending:
Young People:
I have a special interest in counselling young people.
Just like adults, as we know, young people have emotional needs as they are also affected by the challenges of life and therefore need the relevant support, to help them on their way and tackle issues which may be restricting their development.
In the current environment children and young people are under increasing pressure to perform and achieve to a very high standard. I have noticed that there are many young people, particularly in the performing arts, who struggle with perfectionism. I work extensively in this area. My goal is to help them to reach a more balanced and healthy way of being, so that they can achieve their potential and ultimately be happier.
I work with various resources and tools in order to assist the expression of their thoughts and feelings, but most of all I aim to work with empathy and care.
Internet Offending:
I provide empathetic non judgemental counselling for non offending family and friends of people affected by internet offending. I draw from professional experience and knowledge in this area and appreciate the challenges involved.
