About me

Why Come to Therapy?

We all feel anxious, overwhelmed, sad, lost and lonely at times. Our work together will explore your feelings to help you to find your way forward. I have over 14 years experience working within the NHS and private practice. I support clients with a wide range of challenges including; anxiety, depression, low self esteem, abuse, addiction, anger management, family issues, relationship breakdown, trauma from childhood, self harm, suicidal thoughts, PTSD and bereavement. I have experience supporting clients diagnosed with ADHD and those on the Autistic Spectrum.

I provide a safe, non-judgemental space where you can talk through your feelings and the issues you are finding difficult. Our work will encourage insight and self acceptance, helpful practical coping skills and new strategies. Together we can explore unhelpful beliefs and behaviour patterns to find a deeper understanding of the possible source. Then we will work together to make sense and meaning towards helpful and lasting positive change. 

I provide a free 30 minute video or phone introductory call and a reduced initial session fee for you to see how you feel working together.

Client Testimonials:  ‘This therapy has been the best gift I have ever given to myself’  

'Our work has given me a voice and I finally know what I want’

‘Therapy has really boosted my confidence, even my family & friends can see it and I finally like myself much more now’.

'We feel much closer as a couple now'.

Individuals - Our work will encourage understanding, self acceptance and explore limiting self beliefs, helpful coping skills and new strategies for change.

Couples - Therapy can provide a helpful and neutral space to work towards rebuilding trust, improving communication, negotiation and compromise. We will explore unspoken hurt, toxic patterns of behaviour, pain, disappointment and resentment that limits trust, intimacy and re-connection. Couple work can involve; anger, mistrust, infidelity, addiction, lack of intimacy/sex, abuse, fertility, loss, stepfamilies, separation, divorce, co-parenting, psychosexual difficulties and more. 

Teenagers & Children - I have over 23 years experience working with children and young people / teenagers within a supportive, therapeutic environment. My work has included supporting clients diagnosed with ADHD and those on the Autistic Spectrum. I support young clients with depression, anxiety, low self esteem/confidence, anger, self harm, suicidal thoughts, eating difficulties, bullying, abuse, addiction, loss, identity, sexuality and more. 

Families - I have over 23 years experience working with families in a supportive, therapeutic setting. My work with families has involved exploring anger, respect, control, boundaries, trauma, loss, family breakdown and more.

About me

I am an experienced Counsellor and have held a busy private practice since July 2012 in Kingston, Surrey and Greater London. I work within the NHS and University settings. I have worked in national charities and community settings. 

Initial Session

Starting therapy can make you feel anxious and I am mindful of this in our first session as we explore your goals and how therapy works. I believe trust is key to helpful therapy therefore I provide a warm, non-judgemental, empathic, confidential space to share and explore your feelings. 

I offer appointments in the day, evenings & weekends.

I provide a free 30 minute introductory video or phone call and a reduced initial session fee for you to see how you feel working together.

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.

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).
