I offer face to face, telephone and online counselling, allowing you to access therapy in the comfort of your own space. 

My hours are Monday, Tuesday, Friday. 10:00 am to 8:00 pm.    

you can contact me via phone or email to arrange a time that works for you. 

I am a warm, compassionate Counsellor and Psychotherapist offering you a confidential and safe place.  My approach is 'integrative', tailor-made to your personal unique needs and essentially Person-Centred which means tthat you are the most important person in the room.  I am meeting the Íø±¬ÃÅ's high standards as a competent, ethical, empathic independent practitioner.    No issue is too small or too big.  I work with children age 6 to 12, adolescents age 13 to 18 and adults . My experience wolrking with people from a diversity of backgrounds  help me  understand and navigate their ife's challenges, whether they come from work, relationships, family matters. I treat anxiety,  depression, low self-esteem, feeling isolated, money struggles, anger, past trauma. Active listening with no judgment or advice from me allow you to explore your experiences and feelings.  Discovering your strengths will help you find your own solutions. The aim is to grow, develop, and overcome the difficulties of the past by believing in yourself and expressing your own truth.           

Sessions take place on the telephone, online or face to face in the setting of a private clinic.  They last 50 minutes.  I offer a confidential space to explore what is happening in the moment and what is causing stress, anxiety or insecurities.  I work collaboratively with my clients. Each client is unique, my approach is the opposite of 'one size fits all'.   Depending on the mood, what issue or question you are raising, I might use creative tools like drawing, or looking at pictures to uncover deep-seated feelings, or help you express ideas and thoughts that might be hard to express through words alone.   

I am a French national having lived and worked in the UK for 30 years. I offer therapy in both English and French.  

The first session is very important.  It gives us an opportunity to explore working together, and if potentially we would be a good 'fit'.  I will ask you what brings you to therapy, what are the challenges that you are facing, and if you have any questions about therapy.  If we decide to work together, I will send you a 'contract' outlining our shared agreement on the practical aspects of the counselling - e.g. day and time of the sessions - and the principles guiding my practice - that I adhere to the Íø±¬ÃÅ ethical framework.     I offer a 20 minute first session free of charge.
