Currently offering telephone and online sessions only.

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I have an innate ability to connect with people from all walks of life in an empathic and non-judgemental way. As a result, others feel comfortable to share their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences with me in confidence.

I work with individuals, including adults and young people aged 16 and above from diverse backgrounds; using the online platforms such as Zoom or Google Meet from a safe space in my home in Ashford, Surrey.

I also have over 20 years’ experience of working with young people aged 14-19 in school settings, whilst supporting those who are not in education, employment, or training (NEET) within the community. This experience involves me working with young people and their parents/carers, and being a part of their journey to achieving positive outcomes has led me to retrain as an integrative psychotherapist. 

I welcome the prospect to work with people from diverse backgrounds and currently offer online sessions, with the possibility of face-to-face in the future.

No life is perfect, as life is full of challenges and the unexpected can happen to anyone. Trying to make sense of our world and navigate through life can be difficult. I know making the choice to go to therapy can be unnerving, and choosing the right counsellor is key, as a trusting therapeutic relationship is paramount in therapy. Therefore, I offer a free 20-minute or a paid 50-minute telephone/online consultation to see if we are the right fit to work together on what has brought you to therapy.

I practice integrative therapy by drawing from a pool of theoretical approaches, depending on what is presenting in our sessions. This allows for flexibility in responding to clients’ immediate needs as opposed to compliance to a rigid single theoretical approach/framework. I use the person-centred approach, where we will work together and look at what the client is experiencing in the here and now and how they perceive themselves consciously, with the goal to work towards growth and fulfilment, while I listen without judgement and with total acceptance. I also use the psychodynamic approach to help clients explore and understand how their current feelings and behaviours are shaped by their past experiences. It is about getting to the root of the problem and how this affects their relationships, with the objective to creating a long-lasting change.

If you would like to book a session or a 20-minute free consultation, you can text or call me on 07359 221892. Alternatively, you can email beautifulmindcounselling@gmail.com and I intend to reply to your queries within 48 hours during weekday working hours (9am-5pm).

I will offer you a 50-minute consultation process, and I hope to create a safe, confidential, empathic, and non-judgemental space for you to express what brought you to therapy, talk about what you hope to achieve from our sessions and how we can work together to achieve your objectives. This will enable you to see if therapy is right for you at this time. 

If you choose to proceed with counselling, we will agree session duration (50 mins), payment, method of payment and a day and time to meet weekly online or on the phone. We will work at your own pace and a style that suits your needs.

If you opt for the initial free 20-minute session, this will be a chance for us to get to know each other; for you to briefly tell me what brings you to counselling and if we are the right fit for each other. It will also be an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about me, or the counselling process and I’ll try to answer your queries to my best knowledge.
