About me and my therapy practice
I provide a safe space to explore your problems and feelings. I am interested to talk to you about how you're feeling now, what led you to this place, practical steps to make current daily life more manageable, and options going forward that fit with your values.
I draw from different therapeutic approaches to suit you, known as an "integrative" approach. I lean towards a client-led approach, so that you feel empowered to resolve your own issues. I am also a strong advocate of exercise, nature and water therapy to manage stress and have fun.
Practice description
I previously worked in high pressure jobs in industry and central government. My areas of interest are anxiety, burn-out, chronic pain and carers. I have personal experience of anxiety, chronic pain, insomnia and burnout.
I have a Level 4 Diploma in Counselling and am registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am also a qualified gym instructor (YMCA) and meditation facilitator (Breathworks). Before private practice I worked in the not for profit and voluntary sectors as a counsellor to people with neurological conditions and their carers, and with young adults. I work at home, online and also offer outdoor "walk and talk" therapy sessions in Richmond Park or Bushy Park.
My first session
The first session is about finding out about you, what brought you to therapy and what you want to get out of it.
I offer an initial 15 minute telephone call for you to see if you think you would like to work with me. There is no charge for this.
You can have as few or as many sessions as you think you require. I offer reduced rates for 2 clients on low incomes. I aim to respond to emails the same day Mon-Fri.
