About me
Therapy is really just about having someone to talk to and having someone who will listen. Sometimes there is a reason to seek therapy and sometimes there isn't. You are welcome to come just as you are. Therapy can be short term or long term. I am trained in a number of modalities, including EMDR and I am IFS informed. My approach is integrative and holistic, I have a special interest in dreams and Jung. I am happy to explain what these thing means, but really, these are maps, theories, ideas, techniques to help me understand what is coming up for you, so I can help you navigate your internal landscape.
Therapy can be a space to talk about overwhelm, feelings of stuck-ness, anxiety, depression, life crisis, illness, loss, divorce, racial abuse, ancestral and generational trauma, the search for meaning. Ultimately, therapy is about your life story, your longings and the unfolding of your unique potential.
My in-person sessions are in Paddington. I also work online. Session are 50 mins, weekly at the same time and place. I offer a 20 min initial telephone consultation which is free of charge. I am looking forward to meeting you.

Further information
I offer a short initial telephone consultation before we decide to work together. Sessions are highly confidential and take place within the ethical framework prescribed by the United Kingdom Council of Psychotherapy.
Sessions are held weekly at the same time and place and take place for 50 minutes.
If you would like to explore working with me, we would meet for an initial session. How many sessions you need is a decision for you, though I would encourage you to attend a minimum of six sessions to gain real benefit. When you consider ending the therapy, please have a discussion with me .
