I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience of working with individuals in many varied settings including the NHS, charities and various London universities, as well as having had a private practice for several years. 

I offer a safe, kind and compassionate space to explore the difficulties you are experiencing. I have worked with many different issues including childhood trauma, family relationships and estrangement, anxiety, depression, illness and bereavement, perfectionism, marriage and relationship difficulties (please note I do not offer couples therapy) and academic and work pressures. 

First and foremost it can be hugely helpful to have a confidential, safe space to be heard and understood. We can often repeat negative patterns of thinking and relating, and psychotherapy has the potential to bring about a greater awareness of these patterns, which in turn can bring new possibilities. I can offer both short and longer term therapy. 

To begin with we would meet for a 1 hour no-obligation initial consultation ideally in person (but Zoom is also possible). The cost of this consultation is £85. 

This time will be to begin to explore the issues that have brought you to therapy. This is, of course, also an opportunity for you to see whether you feel comfortable with me; we can also think together as to whether this will be the best kind of support for you.
