Counselling and psychotherapy give you a chance to talk through your feelings in a supportive, confidential environment and to gain a greater understanding of yourself and your experiences. This can pave the way towards a more fulfilling life where choices and decisions can begin to feel like opportunities rather than obstacles.I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist, practising in  Reading. I work within an ethical framework that ensures a secure and confidential setting for my clients. I worked as a counsellor for London Borough of Hounslow (Social Services) within the Drug and Alcohol Team between 2006 and 2009. Since then I have trained and practised as a psychodynamic psychotherapist at WPF Therapy and in private practice in London. I have been  practicing in the Reading area for the last six years. I have worked for Riverside counselling as a counsellor in Henley on Thames and now as a supervisor  in Didcot and Berinsfield.

I am registered with BACP and accredited with UKCP. I have been providing counselling for people in a wide variety of situations for over ten years. I work within an ethical framework and provide counselling and psychotherapy in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment.

I will work with you on an open-ended basis or for an agreed time period, with the aim of enabling you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

Here are some of the difficulties that I can help with:

Stress, anxiety and panic attacks

Depression

Low self-esteem

Problems in forming or maintaining relationships

Feelings of loss, bereavement

Redundancy

Addiction

I am based in Reading and I look forward to hearing from you.

During this period of uncertainty, I am available on Zoom or Skype
