Individual Counselling
I can help you understand yourself, make sense of your present circumstances and become aware of how your past is impacting on your present.
I will provide a dynamic but warm, empathetic and accepting therapeutic space in which I can support you to find ways of understanding yourself and achieving change.
​
I have experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, bereavement, anger and relational difficulties with a trauma-informed approach.
​
​
Online or in-person
I offer 50 minute sessions on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Online sessions cost £50.
​
In-person sessions cost £60 and are available in comfortable therapy rooms in Wimbledon, Clapham and Croydon.

Christians in Leadership Positions
As a person of faith I am particularly sensitive to people looking for a faith-affirming approach to their counselling.
​
Are you a Christian in leadership (ministry or secular work) experiencing difficulty or distress? I have some specific sessions available for this.
​
The Christian community is small so we will contract transparently and negotiate how to navigate any shared boundaries or relationships. Transparency supports safety and a reduction of anxiety and the potential for manipulation.
My Approach
I offer a personalised therapeutic approach with interventions that are predicated by research-based counselling theories and techniques.
​
I am a qualified Integrative therapist and use a mixture of counselling theory and relational dynamics to offer a bespoke talking therapy service to my clients.
​
I work hard to form a strong working alliance with you and use the theory of Transactional Analysis intergrated through Clarkson's Relational Model to help you work towards greater autonomy by helping you to strengthen your awareness, spontaneity and to increase your capacity for intimacy.
​
I will provide a warm and empathetic environment to support you to you explore your relationship with yourself and with others and to help you overcome any blockages.

Relationship is the first condition of being human. It circumscribes two or more individuals and creates a bond in the space between them which is more than the sum of its parts"
