About me
Everyone needs help from time to time and making the decision to start therapy can sometimes be hard and long thought through. I work to make you feel safe and held whilst exploring difficult feelings and thoughts in a confidential, non-judgemental environment.
Sometimes we believe that we should be able to deal with difficult issues on our own. Often this can be hard to do as the thoughts and feelings become tangled, rather like a ball of wool that’s difficult to unravel, and it’s hard to think objectively. Therapy helps to untangle these thoughts and feelings to bring about peace and calm.
I provide one to one counselling sessions either face to face, online or by telephone to those 18 and over. I work in an integrative way using a combination of person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapies. Most of all, I’m led by you, what you want to bring to sessions and what works best for you. Always using a collaborative, individual approach to help you gain more understanding and perspective, finding inner resources to consider different ways of being and to be by your side through difficult times.
I have particular experience in working with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, women’s issues, menopause, family problems, difficult childhood experiences, divorce, miscarriage, chronic illness, disability, grief and loss, work stress, court cases, industrial tribunals, carer responsibilities and low self-esteem.
If you would like some more information please contact me by email, we can then arrange a free 15 minute video or telephone call. Here we will talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you hope to achieve, my approach and how we might work together. There will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions. From there, if you so decide, we can set up a regular day and time for our future sessions. This can be in person at The Orange Tree Clinic, Teddington or by video or phone call. Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly, a set number or open ended.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
