About me

I am a qualified UKCP accredited counsellor and psychotherapist in Fulham, South West London with a number of years' experience working one-to-one with adults from different age groups, cultures and backgrounds. I offer regular long term and time limited counselling and psychotherapy and I am also a trained bereavement counsellor.  I trained for five years in the main schools of humanistic, existential and psychoanalytic psychotherapy and therefore I am able to draw from a number of perspectives. In this way I hope to use an approach which best suits your individual needs.  My consulting room is in central Fulham (SW6), a 5-10 minute walk from Parson’s Green and Fulham Broadway underground stations.

Counselling and psychotherapy can offer a safe and confidential place where you can come to address your difficulties and explore them in an impartial setting. Rather than give advice, the aim is for you and your therapist to work collaboratively in order to uncover what might be underlying your difficulties. I work from a relational perspective – often drawing on the dynamics which are happening in the here and now within the therapeutic relationship as a means to understanding other relationships and dynamics in your life. In understanding more about yourself and increasing your self-awareness within a safe, supportive and confidential therapeutic relationship, you may have fresh insight into your life and patterns of behaviour.  This could offer a chance to think about your problems from a new angle and perhaps open up new ways of coping.

It can feel like a big challenge to take the first steps and contact a therapist, but an initial consultation will provide an opportunity to both meet with me and talk about the process. Our first meeting will be a chance to see if I can be of help. If this is the case, we can arrange a regular time to meet each week and discuss a suitable time framework for us to work within. This could mean arranging a fixed amount of sessions or agreeing to work in a more open-ended way.

Areas often covered can include:

  • depression
  • loss, bereavement or serious illness
  • anxiety and stress
  • overwhelming or unmanageable feelings
  • feeling stuck, confused, lacking focus or direction
  • work related issues such as redundancy or personal differences with colleagues
  • problems with confidence and self-esteem
  • physical or verbal abuse
  • unresolved issues from the past
  • relationship issues such as divorce, betrayal, breakdown of the relationship
  • trauma
  • family issues such as infertility/miscarriage/post-natal depression
