About me and my therapy practice
I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ Accredited Counsellor with more than 12 years’ experience working in various sectors of the counselling profession. I see people experiencing a wide range of concerns - anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family and work-related issues, people affected by bereavement, addiction, trauma, phobias, OCD - to people with diagnosed mental health disorders, often working alongside GPs and other Health Professionals. I offer both short term and longer term counselling, and practice in Twickenham where I counsel individuals in person, as well as offering online sessions to people across West London and beyond.
Even though many of us need a little extra help at difficult times in our lives, the decision to seek counselling can seem challenging.
By offering a compassionate, non-judgemental and confidential space, I enable people to engage in therapy, exploring and understanding their emotions and experiences in a safe, grounded and effective way.
Whatever it is that you're facing, I create an environment in which to think, speak, and communicate openly, begins to feel possible. I help people explore thoughts and feelings which may have felt too difficult to share.
To take the next step, you can email, text or call me. I offer free telephone consultations, and following this an initial session can be booked. This gives you the opportunity to experience working with me, and enables me to see how best I can help you. Following this, if you feel comfortable working with me, and I feel I can help, we can book further sessions.
