About me

I offer safe and confidential professional counselling to support you with your life's challenges and help you make sense of the things you may be feeling lost with - the things that matter to you.

In your sessions we will work at a pace that is determined by you to help you begin to feel more in control of and comfortable about whatever is challenging you - whether that is something that happened, is happening, or is something that you are anxious about that might happen.

I offer long and short term work, and use a solution focussed, coaching style incorporating mindfulness techniques, CBT, creativity, and the natural environment, as well as traditional talking therapy. 

I have been working as a humanistic integrative counsellor / psychotherapist since 2005. Alongside my private practice I have previously worked for the RNIB, Macmillan, Relate, and 2 Dorset based charities.

I am a sensitive and compassionate person, and am passionate about and committed to enabling people achieve their best through developing a more positive relationship with themselves and other people in their lives.

All enquiries will be treated in strict confidence.

I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate.

Please be aware that I am working online only with London clients, and those of you who are further afield within the UK and globally.

I have availability on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.

What happens next?

I look forward to hearing from you if you would like to have a brief, free, no obligation phone call to discuss your situation and ask any questions you may have prior to booking with me - click here to send an email to arrange your call.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.

Key details

DBS check

Wheelchair user access
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.
