About me
Hello — I’m Pippa, an experienced therapist offering face to face counselling from my private practice between Horsham and Cranleigh and online sessions across London and the UK.
People come to therapy for many different reasons and taking the first step can feel daunting. You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply unsure how to hold things together. Perhaps you’re managing on the outside but struggling privately. Whatever has brought you here, it can help to have someone to talk to.
I offer a safe, confidential, supportive and non-judgmental space where you can speak openly about what you’re experiencing.
You’ll be met with care, steadiness and respect. You’ll have space to pause, reflect and begin to make sense of what feels confusing or painful.
How I May Be Able to Help
I work with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges (including coercive control, narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships), loss, trauma, eating disorders, fertility challenges, low self-esteem and workplace pressures & burnout. You may be facing a specific crisis, navigating a life transition, or simply sensing that something doesn’t feel quite right.
Together, we’ll work collaboratively to explore what's happening in your life now, including difficulties in relationships, feelings that are hard to understand or patterns of behaviour that no longer seem helpful. We’ll also look at how your past experiences may be influencing the present.
What to Expect
My focus is on how your early experiences may be shaping how you relate to others and yourself. Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and gently look at how past experiences, relationships and life may be influencing the present. Often when these patterns are explored, new understanding can emerge, and with greater understanding often comes greater self-awareness, choice and confidence.
I have a particular interest and passion in helping people:-
- going through infertility challenges, including IVF, and the emotional impact these experiences can often have on self-esteem, identity and relationships.
- who’ve experienced coercive control, narcissistic or emotionally abusive relationships and trauma, given the lasting impact these experiences often have on confidence, trust and self worth
- especially young adults, who are navigating challenges with identity, self-esteem, relationships, family dynamics, disordered eating and the pressures of finding their place in the world.
Where I’m Based
I work with individuals face to face from my private practice between Horsham and Cranleigh. I also work online with clients across the UK.
Initial Steps and What to Expect
Finding the right therapist is a personal decision and it’s important to feel comfortable with the person you’re working with. If you’re considering therapy, please feel free to get in touch, even if you’re unsure where to begin. I’d be happy to answer any questions and arrange an initial session to explore what has brought you to therapy and whether working together feels right.
I offer an initial consultation lasting 50–60 minutes. Our initial session is an opportunity for you to talk about what’s brought you to therapy, ask any questions you’d like and get a sense of what working together might feel like.
There is no obligation to continue after this session. It’s simply a chance to consider whether therapy feels right for you and indeed whether I’m the right person to support you.
If you decide to take the next step, then we’d agree on a regular session time. Therapy usually takes place weekly, with each session lasting 50 minutes at the same time each week.
I look forward to meeting you.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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
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.
