About me and my therapy practice

I am a counsellor with over 10 years post qualification experience, based in Greenwich, South East London. I have a BSc (Hons) in Person-Centred Counselling and a HPDip in Counselling. I have completed an Advanced Post Diploma Certificate Course in Person-Centred Couples Counselling. I provide a private and confidential counselling service to individuals and couples. I work with a diverse range of people from a wide range of backgrounds. I would like to acknowledge the courage it takes to make that first step towards counselling as a way to help your self. If you haven't experienced counselling before it's understandable that you may feel nervous or confused about what to expect. If you have had counselling before you may also have some anxieties depending on your previous experience. Whatever the reason you are seeking counselling, it can be helpful to have someone to talk with that is not going to judge, analyse or tell you what to do. My aim as a counsellor is to create a safe space to explore, to help you to a deeper understanding of yourself and assist you in finding your own way forward. As well as my private work, I am a Rape Crisis counsellor, I have several years’ experience providing counselling to women in a domestic violence project, I worked in an agency for several years counselling young people aged 13-25. I also worked counselling young people in a secondary school. I am available for appointments Tuesday and Thursday days and evenings and Saturday mornings.
