Individual Counselling

To know and transform oneself takes a willingness to be in an honest enquiry into the roots, structures and patterns that make up our decisions and beliefs.

What helps on this journey of discovery is a personal relationship with a skilled guide that is grounded in trust and intimacy. This relationship is a powerful tool to unlock the needed self knowledge to change the stuck spaces we live in. From this deeper self awareness we are able to find the strength to succeed in career and relationships.

Our aim is to become a whole person, one who is able to function with a depth of love and understanding.

The fee is £70 per hour. I offer a reduced rate for your first session of £40.

Couples Counselling

In couples counselling our aim is to look honestly upon what we bring to our relationship, taking active steps towards understanding each other in a respectful way. In facilitating these important discussions I have helped many couples with communication problems, affairs, loss of intimacy & desire, divorce, and loss of direction in long-term relationships.

The fee is £90 per hour. 

Next Steps

Please feel free to call, email or text so we can arrange an informal chat. I can then call you at a time that suits you. A telephone call that will be roughly 20-minutes and will give you a good idea of how I can help you and if I am the right therapist for you. It is really important that you feel comfortable working with me and if you feel we don't 'click' then I will be happy to provide you with referrals to other therapists.

I'm available Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays between 9am and 8pm. Tuesdays and Fridays between 9am and 3pm.

I work with new and experienced practitioners. I am committed to your growth and to supporting you to embody your uniqueness as a therapist.

I am a highly experienced therapist practicing for over 13 years, in that time working with organisations such as MIND in Tower Hamlets, BSix College in Hackney, and privately. I have maintained a full practice privately, meeting adults individually and couples. 

Originally trained in the Person-Centred approach, I have since developed an Integrative approach that also incorporates Psychodynamic, Systemic, TA and CBT principles. My practice is trauma informed and I have a good understanding of neurobiology and how mindfulness practices can aid our clients and ourselves in this work. 

My aim in Supervision is to offer you the space to process the work we do as therapists, in a supportive, collaborative and creative way. I will honour your approach whilst encouraging you to consider and embrace different perspectives. Together we will aim to create a safe, mindful and playful space that supports your practice.
