I find it important to create a safe space where clients feel they can talk freely, be themselves and explore difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. It may feel daunting to talk to someone about personal struggles. My aim is to listening empathically and explore issues that need processing in a gentle but collaborative way. My therapeutic approach draws on the well-established humanistic, psychodynamic and CBT schools of therapy which means I tailor each therapy to the unique needs of each client.

Drawing on my life and work experience in the charitable sector, I understand how trauma, loss or challenging circumstances can affect an individual’s way of coping with life. Something may have happened in the past or might be happening at this very moment, that feels overwhelming. There might be a feeling of being weighed down, stuck or trapped. Whatever is experienced, I aim to enable my clients to identify and process these difficult experiences whilst supporting them in realising a greater understanding of themselves, discovering a greater sense of agency within their lives.

I work as a private counsellor and psychotherapist in Knightsbridge and Esher. I graduated with an MA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of St Andrews and qualified with an MA an Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. I am a member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as the British Association for Counselling Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ). I have previously worked for the NHS and other therapy providers across Surrey and London.

I offer a free introductory call to discuss a way forward.

I find it important to create safe space where clients feel they can talk freely, be themselves and explore difficult thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. I understand that talking about personal struggles can be daunting, and therefore approach therapy by listening empathically and exploring issues that clients want to address, in a gentle but collaborative way. 

My therapeutic approach specialises in drawing from the well-established humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural schools of therapy. This allows me to meet the unique needs of each client and to support clients in developing self-awareness, self-compassion and a greater sense of empowerment in their daily lives. 

I welcome working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, orientations. Clients come from all walks of life often seeking support for anxiety, depression, self-esteem or other difficulties in their current life. Some face life events, transitions, daunting medical conditions or losses which they want to explore. Some feel weighed down or trapped, whilst others struggle with debilitating fears or shame that they wish to overcome.

Drawing on my life and work experience in the charitable sector, I understand how trauma, challenging circumstances and relationships can affect an individual's way of coping with life and their sense of being in the world. Whatever is experienced, I aim to listen, engage and support clients in identifying and working through these difficult experiences. I sometimes suggest exercises to deepen self-knowledge and widen perspective, or offer techniques to build resilience and support the regulation of distressing emotions.

In more recent years, I have worked with attachment and separation issues as well as identity, difference and belonging concerns. I have also extended my practice to supporting clients with ADD/ ADHD diagnoses, or clients generally struggling with executive functioning, planning and procrastination.

I work as an integrative counsellor as well as supervisor in Knightsbridge and Esher. I graduated with an MA (Hons) in Psychology from the University of St Andrews and qualified with an MA an Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy from the University of Roehampton. I am a registered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as the British Association for Counselling Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ). My previous work includes roles within the NHS and other therapy providers across Surrey and London.

I am offering supervision at a discounted £30/ hour (for the next 6 months) to complete my accreditation as a Íø±¬ÃÅ supervisor. 

I work face-to-face and online, supervising trainees and qualified counsellors/psychotherapists also working face-to-face or online. My training included additional knowledge and competency required when working with online supervisees.

I work relationally, believing supervision is a collaborative process between supervisor and supervisee. I find that offering space for containment and honest reflection, whilst also encouraging deeper insights into the therapeutic work and promoting personal development, is key to good supervision.

My background; I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with experience in the NHS, low-cost services and private practice. I have seen many clinical presentations as well as experienced the different pressures in diverse clinical settings. I studied Psychology (MA Hons) in the 90s, then converted to Law LLB (Hons) in the mid 90s, finally returning to mental health with Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (MA) from Roehampton University in the 10s. As a relational therapist, I integrate both humanistic and psychodynamic traditions into my practice.

If you are interested in contacting me, please send me an enquiry and we can have a free introductory chat.

I offer a free introductory meeting online for exploring whether we can work together.
