About me

I’m an experienced and compassionate Integrative-Relational therapist offering online and in-person sessions in Surbiton. I can support you with life struggles such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. I am confident in supporting people with ADHD.

About Counselling

Therapy can be the first step to helping you feel better if you feel stuck or overwhelmed in life. I provide a warm, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in your own time. As a part of this, trust is essential in a successful therapeutic relationship, and it works both ways.

First Session

Our initial session offers a space to explore what has brought you to counselling and whether we are the right fit to work together. I offer both short and long-term counselling, depending on your needs.

Training, qualifications & experience

I hold a first-class BA honours degree in Integrative-Relational Counselling. This approach utilises a range of theories (including Humanistic and Psychodynamic) to meet each client's individual needs whilst keeping the relationship between client and counsellor at the heart of the work.

I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and fully adhere to their code of ethics. 

I have experience both within the NHS and other agencies working with individuals with a variety of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, abuse, PTSD, trauma, relationships, work stress and loss.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).

This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

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.

One of my offices has some steps, the other is step-free.
