Email meAbout me
As a qualified and experienced psychotherapist, I offer private individual, couple and group therapy, coaching, clinical supervision and a mediation service. Starting work as a therapist in 1992, I have many years of counselling experience, which includes working in the NHS, charitable sector, education and private practice.
One of the most important things that I believe that I can do is to provide my clients with a safe space, where they can explore whilst knowing that I will not criticize them or think badly of them. I have worked with a range of client issues including mental-health, anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, self-esteem and sexuality, as well as supporting self-exploration.
I am based in central London, within easy access from Tottenham Court Road, Covent Garden and Holborn tube stations.
