About me and my therapy practice
I’m a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist based in Tooting, South West London, offering both in-person and online sessions across the UK. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I provide a confidential, non-judgemental space where you can explore what’s going on in your life at your own pace.
As an integrative therapist, I draw from a range of approaches, including person-centred, psychodynamic, and relational models. This allows me to adapt how I work to suit your individual needs. We may explore your past experiences and relationships to understand how they’re influencing your present, while also attending to what’s happening in the here and now. The heart of my practice is building a trusting and honest therapeutic relationship where you feel truly heard, valued, and supported.
I offer both short- and long-term therapy, depending on your goals and what feels right for you. My aim is to help you gain greater self-awareness, emotional resilience, and clarity as you navigate whatever challenges you’re facing.
Practice description
I offer counselling and psychotherapy to adults from all walks of life, both in-person from my private practice in Tooting (SW16) and online across the UK. I work with people who are experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, loss, relationship problems, life transitions, and long-standing patterns of low self-esteem or self-doubt. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward.
I also specialise in perinatal mental health, offering support to mothers and fathers during pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. This can be a time of huge emotional adjustment, and I work with clients experiencing postnatal depression, anxiety, birth trauma, fertility challenges, identity shifts, and grief following baby loss.
In-person sessions take place in a calm, private setting in Tooting, and I also offer walk and talk therapy locally for those who prefer to reflect while moving. Online sessions provide a flexible option for clients based elsewhere in the UK.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (Íø±¬ÃÅ) and adhere to their ethical framework. You can expect a thoughtful, professional, and compassionate space where your experiences are met with care and curiosity. If you’re considering therapy and would like to see whether we might work well together, I welcome you to get in touch.
My first session
I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone or video call so we can briefly discuss what’s bringing you to therapy and whether I might be the right fit for you. This is a chance for you to ask any questions and get a sense of how I work, with no obligation to continue.
If we decide to move forward, I’ll invite you to complete a short questionnaire before our first session. This helps me understand a little more about you, your background, and what you’re hoping to gain from therapy. It allows us to make the most of our initial session and begin our work with greater clarity and focus.
The first full session will be a chance for us to explore your goals in more depth and begin to build a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. There is no pressure to share everything straight away as we will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
