About me and my therapy practice

Taking the first step to seek help is not always easy. You may be struggling with anxiety, family/relationship issues or be experiencing sad or depressed feelings and thoughts.

I qualified at a level 4 counsellor over 20yrs ago and worked with in schools and charities in west and south london until 2011. Since then I have mainly worked with young people and care leavers. 

I strive to offer confidential, non judgemental counselling where you can be heard and understood. Talking about and exploring your emotions and feelings will help you come to your own conclusions and empower you to take your next steps in life.

I work with a Humanistic and Integrative approach. I have experience of offering counselling to both adults and young people.

I have worked with clients who have had a range of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, issues in relation to gender and sexuality alongside clients who have experienced trauma and experienced loss.

I have a wealth of experience and understanding of working with young people with a diverse range of issues; including bullying; school/college issues; confidence building; difficulties coping with relationships. 

I have a passion for working with people which aims to help my clients to process and understand their feelings. I believe that enabling a client to voice their difficulties and work through any issues that arise from these in a confidential and non-judgement relationship with a counsellor enables them to heal and move forward in their lives.

I offer a warm and down to earth approach which is supportive and within a safe space for short or long term therapeutic counselling.

Based in a lovely converted barn, the Therapy room is sound proofed and is well heated and cooled. There's a welcome desk and waiting area offering free tea/coffee and wifi. Plenty of free parking and a bus stop at the end of the lane.

Of course, you can also contact me directly via the 网爆门.

There is a little paperwork to do in this first session, as I take some basic details from you and ask you a few questions about your general health, mental health and wellbeing.
