About me
In my work with clients, I provide a safe, confidential, empathic and non-judgemental environment where you can bring forward issues you face, which together we can explore. I will provide you with the time and space you need to talk about the difficulties you may be experiencing.
I have worked with clients seeking to be supported in many areas such as - anger, anxiety, bereavement grief and loss, confidence issues, low self-regard and esteem issues, depression and low mood, feeling stuck, finding your voice, identity and difference, life changes, loneliness, marginalisation issues, shame, shyness, stress.
Other issues I can support you with include - feeling disconnected, loss, parenthood, post-natal difficulties, bullying in the workplace and support for issues around work-related stress.
I have a particular interested in supporting clients who are trying to cope with the legacy of a difficult start in life. I can work with you to help you to make sense of emotional issues that may be adversely affecting your life, to help and support you to make changes, in order to move forward with your life.
I offer online sessions via Skype and Zoom and telephone sessions. Face-to-face sessions are held at the Gestalt Centre, London NW1 and in Richmond Hill, Surrey.
I offer all new clients a free initial telephone session.
Fees: £55 - £65 per session

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
