I am currently accepting new clients.

I help people to feel better about themselves and empowered to make positive changes to their lives. Being truly heard (perhaps for the first time) by someone who will never judge, dictate to, or betray you, can be a profoundly healing experience. With growing trust and commitment, negative thoughts and feelings can be explored, understood and overcome. Regrets about the past and fears for the future can be replaced by fulfilment in the present.

My approach is integrative, drawing on different schools of thought, including psychodynamic, person-centred and cognitive/behavioural, to find what works best for each client, the issues that arise and the stage of our therapeutic relationship.

Issues which I have been able to help clients to address include:

• Anxiety, including panic attacks

• Depression/hopelessness/apathy

• Stress, for example at work

• Loss, including bereavement and relationship breakdown

• Low self-esteem/shame/identity issues

• Obsessional thinking, including OCD and perfectionism

• Overwhelming emotions such as anger, guilt, envy

• Trust and control issues, e.g. in relationships

• Isolation/loneliness

I see clients in person (London NW11) and by Zoom. I recognise the competing demands on people's lives, and try to be flexible. For example, I understand that not everyone can commit to attending every session at the same time, on the same day, every week. I therefore try to accommodate changes wherever possible.

I do not charge a fee for cancelled or rescheduled sessions, except when less than 24 hours' notice is given.

I offer a full (50 minute) free initial session, with no obligation to continue, recognising how important it is to provide potential clients with a fair opportunity to assess whether we are likely to work well together.
