About me

My Training

As an integrative therapist, my training has provided me with a range of therapeutic models to use that best suit the issues that individuals bring into the therapy room, everyone is unique so therefore therapy must be too. I am also an accredited Hypnotherapist and EFT practitioner, registered and accredited with the National Hypnotherapy Society.

How I work

I provide a warm and understanding approach to counselling, where you can share your issues in a safe and caring environment. You will have the opportunity to be yourself, feel truly heard, and discuss any difficulties confidentially. Together, we will work on understanding and changing unwanted thoughts, feelings, and behaviours to help you overcome your symptoms and find a path to recovery.

What happens in the first session?

Before our online meeting, we'll have a quick phone chat to talk about your concerns and find a convenient time for our sessions. I'll email you some forms to fill out and return before our first session. These forms will help me get your contact information and understand how your situation is affecting you. After our first session, I'll send you the therapy contract. For hypnotherapy, there will be a few extra forms to tailor the therapy to your needs. Everything we discuss will be confidential and we'll go at a pace that's comfortable for you.

How can I help you

With extensive experience working in the NHS, a North London Hospice, and a Blood Cancer Charity, I possess many years of expertise in managing life-altering situations such as bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, depression and anxiety, self-esteem, and confidence issues. I am aware of the profound impact these challenges can have on both mental health and physical well-being.

Key details

Wheelchair user access info
Wheelchair user access

Wheelchair-accessible premises should have step-free access for wheelchair users and individuals who are unable to climb stairs. If a Counsellor's premises aren't step-free, they may offer alternative services such as telephone/web-based appointments, home visits, or meeting clients in different location, so you can choose the option that suits you best.

You can contact the Counsellor to discuss the options available.

Under the Equality Act 2010 service providers have a duty to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that individuals with disabilities can access their service. You can read more about reasonable adjustments to help you to access services on the CAB website.

If face to face sessions are required, I can arrange a room that has wheelchair access.
