Reaching out for counselling support is the first step on a very exciting path to change. Talking therapy works. 

I would love to help you to find peace within yourself and to reach your personal goals, through self-awareness and by leaving past patterns of behaving and relating behind you.

If you commit to this process, you are committing to yourself and to building a strong and adaptable way of being in the world. 

You can expect to create with me a warm and trusting therapeutic relationship. 

I am trained in several forms of therapy that are all based on knowing that each of us is unique and that every one of us matters and deserves to be helped to grow beyond pain. We all deserve to be able to respect ourselves and to be respected by others and yet we often become stuck in patterns of behaving and relating that do not serve us well. By exploring these patterns we can break free of them, towards empowerment and freedom from anxiety.

Our first session will be a telephone conversation to see what you are looking for and how I can best meet that need.

Supervision should be stimulating and enjoyable, not just a necessity. A warm and trusting relationship forms the basis of my counselling work and my supervision practice, whether online or at my home-based practice in South West London.

I am specifically qualified to supervise therapists who work online with clients and also those who do not not. There is a difference in how we work online and the compliance requirements. For instance the lack of body language. How can we compensate for that online when offering empathy and congruence? 

My therapy and counselling training is Humanistic, including Person Centred Theory, Gestalt and TA. I am also trained in Psychodynamic Therapy and CBT. 

I thoroughly enjoy helping fellow practitioners and students to build effective therapeutic relationships with clients and to grow a strong sense of self and a robust, rewarding practice.

Let's face it, this is one of the best jobs in the world.

I work from a calm and relaxing room in Fulham, very close to Imperial Wharf Station, close to Fulham Broadway Underground and various bus routes. 

Our first contact would be a free telephone conversation to assess your needs and how I can best meet those in a way that suits you.
