About me and my therapy practice

I am an experienced counsellor and an Accredited member with BACP. I have been practising counselling in Portsmouth and in London for a number of years now. As a counsellor, I can help you unravel your feelings and emotions within a secure, warm and non-judgemental environment, where empathy, acceptance and honesty are not only the tools but also the means towards acceptance, growth and change.

I embrace the integrative approach, meaning that I draw on a range of therapeutic techniques that are best suited to each client individually, from listening and dialogue to interpretation and exercises. It is a firm belief of mine that the answer to every hardship lies within us, as we have the potential to evolve and change.
