About me
People come to me for many different reasons, but I specialise in supporting people with relationship difficulties, both personal and professional, betrayal, affairs and infidelity, grief, bereavement and loss, self-esteem and low confidence, anger, weight management, trauma and PTSD.
Everyone brings their own unique experiences, history and way of seeing the world. Because of this, it is very important to me to be able to adapt the way I work to suit you as an individual.
I trained as an integrative therapist so that I can draw on different therapeutic approaches and use the methods that are most appropriate for your needs.
Is counselling right for you?
Counselling is not about self-pity; it is about understanding, change and empowerment.
You may be worried about how you are coping with difficult or challenging events in your life. Perhaps past experiences are catching up with you and making it difficult to enjoy life fully. You may be struggling with a relationship, trying to work through betrayal or an affair, experiencing grief or loss, or simply feeling unsure about how you truly feel.
Sometimes you may know that something needs to change but not know where to begin. At times like these, professional support can give you the space to explore what is happening, understand yourself more clearly and consider how you would like to move forward.
How do I work?
The whole of you is welcome- your sadness, guilt, anger, joy, shame, grief and uncertainty.
I offer a free initial telephone consultation, with no obligation to continue. I believe it is important that you have the opportunity to ask questions, tell me a little about what brings you to counselling and get a sense of what I am like before deciding whether you would like to work with me.
We may work together on a short-term or longer-term basis, depending entirely on your needs and personal goals. I do not ask you to commit to a set number of sessions, as I believe the freedom to choose whether to continue is important.
Each session lasts 60 minutes and costs £80.
A bit more about me
I qualified as an NLP Practitioner in 2012 and became involved in executive coaching soon afterwards. This sparked my interest in the power of the mind and my passion for helping people make positive changes in their lives and relationships.
In 2014, I qualified as a counsellor and psychotherapist.
I completed my training with a clinical placement at 96 Harley Street in London, where I have also volunteered to support people who may otherwise be unable to afford private therapy.
I now run my own private practice in Staines, offering individual therapy as well as couples counselling. I offer flexible appointment times to accommodate busy schedules, including early mornings, evenings and weekends.
I am bilingual and can offer sessions in both English and French.
