About me and my therapy practice
I offer Humanistic Counselling, drawing from a blend of Person-Centered, Gestalt, and Transactional Analysis approaches. At the heart of my practice is the belief in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore whatever you need, at your own pace, allowing for natural growth and positive change.
As an embodied practitioner, I’m particularly interested in how emotions are reflected in the body. I aim to honour not only your thoughts and feelings but also the physical sensations that accompany them. This holistic approach can help to foster deeper self-awareness and healing.
In addition to my work as a counsellor, I bring over 10 years of experience as a complementary therapist, specialising in women's health. This background informs my approach, offering a unique perspective on the body-mind connection. I also have several years of experience working with animals—primarily horses and dogs—and, where appropriate, we might incorporate their therapeutic presence into our sessions.
I work long-term with individuals seeking personal growth, and people dealing with issues like anxiety, depression, or the effects of trauma. I also offer focussed, time limited support around the menstrual cycle and its emotional, physical, and psychological impacts, and a safe space for people wishing to explore the impact of expanded consciousness or mystical/metaphysical experiences.
Practice description
I work in private practice based in Kingston and Surbiton (Greater London/Surrey), in-room, via video conferencing or phone, and outdoors in Richmond Park combining the therapeutic effects and resources of nature.
Sessions are 50 minutes long, generally weekly (sometimes moving to fortnightly) and I work with adults aged 18 or over. I can offer a dedicated session time on Fridays (online or outdoors), or flexible timing on other work days.
Outdoor sessions are conducted in all weather, with the exception of extreme weather conditions which might create a risk to life.
Online or phone sessions may not be suitable for everyone - we can discuss this on an initial call and see what might work best for you.
In-room sessions may be more appropriate for some issues, or for general preference or trainee-counsellor requirements.
Any contracts, any agreements, and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with my services shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, English law.
My first session
Before we meet for the first time, I offer a no-obligation and no-charge phone conversation so that you can ask me questions, let me know what you'd like me to know about you, you can get an idea of my style and assess my suitability for your needs. This also gives me an opportunity to assess whether counselling with me might be suitably supportive. To help me assess this, during the call I will ask about your reasons for seeking counselling, and ask about any prior experiences with counselling or psychological health services, and what sort of support networks you might have around you. I will explain my contractual terms and fees and see if our schedules align for sessions. If it seems like there is potential for you and I to be a good match to work together, we can arrange an initial session.
Before we meet for the first session, I will send you a copy of the BACP Ethical Framework to which I adhere, and I will send you my counselling agreement, privacy policy and an intake form via my online practice management system, for online signing (no printing required). This will include asking for some personal and sensitive information (to be kept in accordance with Data Protection legislation) including your GP details, emergency contact details, date of birth, address (if working online) and contact details, any relevant medical conditions and medications, and psychological diagnostic history. This is recorded to assist me in fulfilling my duty of care towards you and to ensure I can get appropriate help to you in an emergency (even if we only meet this once). I may take some notes during this initial session.
In this first session we can talk more about how you'd like to work together, and talk more about your goals (if you have any). You can let me know about your history as much as you feel comfortable - there is no rush, this can unfold over time. Towards the end of the first session I will ask how you feel about continuing. You can take time think about this.

About me and my therapy practice
I am a humanistic practitioner with over 8 years in practice, and a background in bodywork and healing modalities, for people and animals. My current practice also includes work as a therapist in clinical trials exploring the potential for psychoactive (so-called 'psychedelic') substances for treatment resistant mental health conditions.
My humanistic approach combines Person-Centred, TA, and Gestalt modalities within an integrative framework of Clarkson's 5 Relationship Model.
I am currently a supervisor in placement, having completed my training (with a specialism in online working) and now building my supervision hours towards full qualification. During this period, I offer discounted supervision at half my post-qualification fee.
I offer supervision in-room, online, and outdoors in Richmond Park (from Kingston Gate). In-room sessions are available close to Surbiton Station (KT6 4QU).
Practice description
As a supervisor, my approach is grounded in the Hawkins & Shohet 7-Eyed Model of Supervision, which supports a relational and process-orientated way of exploring your work. For trainees and recently qualified therapists, I also draw on Stoltenberg & McNeill’s Integrated Development Model (IDM), which offers gentle structure and a clear developmental focus. This can be especially helpful if you’re wanting to grow your confidence or competencies in particular areas of practice.
As a BACP accreditation assessor I am well versed in the SCoPEd framework and can use this as a way to help you identify areas for growth.
You’re welcome to bring anything connected to your work:
– client material
– private practice processes and admin
– thoughts about career direction or CPD
– your relationship with the profession
– or a more mentoring-style focus if you’re in training or newly qualified
I see supervision as a space where two colleagues come together with the shared aim of supporting the client. It’s a place for honest, congruent exploration without judgment, and for guidance when needed. I bring my background as a counselling lecturer, therapist and assessor into the work, always holding the relationship at the centre.
If you are a trainee, please check with your training institution that they are happy for you to work with a supervisor in training.
My first session
If you're interested in working together, I would suggest an initial online meeting where you can ask me questions, tell me a bit about your practice and what you're wanting from supervision, and I can describe a bit more about how I work. I'll also go through key points of my contracts, and together we can see if we might be a good match to work together. We can also talk about scheduling options. There is no fee for this meeting, and it will last up to half an hour.
If we do decide to proceed, I will send you contracts for signing, and an intake form, via my online practice management service.
I offer 60 minute or 90 minute sessions.
My fees (pre-qualification):
• 1 hour (60 minutes): £37.50 in all settings
(post-qualification will be £75 online / £85 in-room/outdoors)
• 1.5 hours (90 minutes): £56.25 in all settings
(post-qualification will be £112.50 online / £113.50 in-room/outdoors)
I will fully qualify no later than end of June 2026, and if sooner, I will give you one month's notice of the impending fee change.

About me and my therapy practice
I am a Humanistic counsellor, BACP (Accred) with 7+ years experience training counsellors in Higher Education (to Academic Level 6). I also train tutors of counselling and psychotherapy at Academic Level 7. Currently I hold the post of Senior Lecturer at Metanoia Institute where I am a Module Lead and Primary Tutor, teaching at Levels 4, 6 and 7.
Practice description
I offer individuated, co-constructivist learning environments with careful attention to the balance of emotional and practical support required by students who may be new to either personal development or higher education, or often, both. Students value my supportive style and careful attention to the impact of educational trauma carried by neuro-diverse learners. I seek to make the training environment a reparative experience for such students, while also providing the challenge required to really assess a person's readiness to enter this profession.
