Email meAbout me
Asking for help can be hard and it takes courage to decide that you are ready to do something about how you are feeling or what is happening in your life.
It may be you are going through a difficult time with a particular life experience, such as a relationship or illness, or that thoughts or emotions you have struggled with for a long time have become too much to carry alone. Sometimes feelings can be complicated and confusing. You may fee unsure about what you are feeling, what you think you should be feeling and how to find a way to make sense of it all.
There are many reasons why it can be difficult to open up to friends or family. Perhaps you worry about burdening them or that they won't understand. I would like to offer you the opportunity to talk about what is troubling you with someone who is not involved in your world, does not know your family or friends, and has no expectations of you. I aim to provide a safe and confidential space where you may speak openly, without fear of judgement, and be accepted just as you are.
Together we can make sense of what is happening for you and look at what beliefs or behaviours might not be helpful for you anymore and how you can work towards the changes you would like to see.
Training, qualifications & experience
BA (Hons) in Integrative Relational Counselling
I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. BACP accreditation is a quality standard awarded to experienced counsellors and psychotherapists who have demonstrated the highest standard of competence.
As an integrative relational counsellor I use a combination of therapeutic theories to support my work. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues including anxiety; depression; abuse; bereavement; relationship difficulties; work related stress; alcohol related issues and I have a knowledge and understanding of 12-step programmes.
I have worked in a busy NHS surgery seeing clients referred by their doctor due to impact of many of the difficulties mentioned above.
For the last five years I have provided counselling to employees of a large London borough working with clients, some still at work or others moving towards returning to the workplace following absence.
I am committed to continuous professional development and have regular supervision with a senior practitioner.

I aim to reply to telephone messages on the same day and email enquiries within 24 hours. There would be no charge for a chat on the phone or a short email.
