We all experience difficulties at some point, and counselling and psychotherapy provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to explore these experiences. Exploring your thoughts and feelings with another enables a deeper level of awareness and connection with yourself and others, helping take stock and enabling a richer life.

I am an experienced Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor working in Peckham. I offer a space that is warm, respectful and empathetic. Sharing what's going on for you can be a relief. I will listen to you carefully, provide honest observations and feedback, and ask questions to gently guide your exploration. This process will offer new perspectives and ways of thinking, feeling and being.

I offer in-person and online sessions.

I am a highly experienced therapist with my own practice. In addition, I've seen clients in various settings, such as at Hackney and City Careers Centre and a low-cost therapy service in Wandsworth, meaning I've worked with and welcomed clients from diverse backgrounds. 

I work with a wide range of issues, including, but not exclusively, anxiety, depression, loss, grief, trauma, relationship issues, sexuality, feelings of overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, anger, identity issues and abuse. More recently, I have worked with clients with long Covid and other chronic health conditions.

I offer a free 20-minute phone call and a reduced fee (£45) initial session to discuss the therapy and practicalities and see if we are a good fit. 

In the first session, I usually ask questions about your background and current situation to understand better how I can help you. It is also a chance for you to ask me any questions you have and to get a feel for how the therapy works.
