About me

What are my qualifications?

I am a qualified Transactional Analysis Psychotherapeutic Counsellor (Dip, Psych Counselling) and an individual member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) - and I am bound to working within the BACP's ethical framework.

I am also a specialist in Relational Transactional Analysis and a member of the International Association of Relational Transactional Analysis (IARTA) and the European Association for Transactional Analysis (EATA) - and I am bound to working within their ethical framework too.

Personally, I have first-hand experience of coaching, therapy and mindfulness-based interventions and I understand what it is like to sit in the chair as a client. This makes me a big believer in reaching out and asking for quality professional help whenever that bit of extra support with life’s challenges is needed.

Today, I hold my own private practice in Chiswick, West London and South Kensington, both are tranquil, safe spaces for you to unravel your difficulties in confidence.

How can Psychotherapeutic Counselling help?

Some people find that psychotherapeutic counselling can help to make sense of the past or help evolve and transform themselves into feeling like their ‘true-self’ again, perhaps after some of the most difficult periods or negative situations in their lives.

How do I work with my clients?

I work with my clients using a variety of approaches integrated to suit the individual. This holistic approach has proven to be effective for helping individuals to come to terms with the past without digging too deeply into it, and has helped my clients to accept themselves fully and transform their quality of life. Counselling has also helped my clients to improve how they communicate with others, significantly improving their relationships.

However, I truly believe that 'one size does not fit all' and apply this way of working to my clients, using a variety of methods from across the psychology sector to help individuals understand themselves and reclaim that ‘inner strength’ and to shift away from a sense of something being wrong to feeling right again.

How long are the sessions?

I offer individuals and couples short-term (six -12 weeks) and long-term (open-ended) sessions in person or via an encrypted video-call. Together, we can work at a pace to suit you, to help move through a difficult time and to overcome any barriers you have to feeling okay about yourself and thriving in your life.

All sessions are fifty minutes long.

The areas that I can help you with are....

In terms of expertise I can help with dealing with sadness, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, trauma, loss and bereavement, low self-esteem, menstruation and hormonal issues, as well as IVF and fertility issues, sex and sexuality, difficulties with relationships or workplace issues, and major career transitions. I am non-discriminatory, race and LGBTQ+ affirmative, and I honour individuality whilst fostering a sense of empowerment in my work with everyone

Whatever it is, together we can work on what it is you want to change, and formulate a way forwards towards genuine and lasting change.

So, if there’s something you’d like to ask me in confidence, or discuss with me today, email me or call me direct.
