About me and my therapy practice
I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist with an established private practice.
In my therapeutic practice I am experienced in working with people of different genders, diverse cultures, social and working backgrounds.
The foundation of my approach is to listen to you and help you express yourself in both a confidential and non-judgemental environment. Your talking and expression can encourage clarity, release any negative feelings that may have been in place and challenge any unrealistic perceptions that you may have been holding on to.
From this foundation we can then work together within the therapy to explore why you may have found yourself where you are, why you want to change and to put this change in place.
Practice description
My practice is based in Lee, south east London. There is easy access to my practice by public transport and free parking immediately outside the practice.
My practice facilities are a dedicated building ensuring privacy and confidentiality. When working remotely I work with a range of platforms, specifically FaceTime, Skype and Zoom.
My first session
In the first session we explore what may be troubling you and how we might work together to help you.
A significant aspect of this first meeting is to see how you feel about working with me and therefore if the relationship has potential for you to trust our work together to help you.
Simply, we just talk, listen and see where it takes us......

About me and my therapy practice
I am a Senior Accredited Clinical Supervisor with an established private practice.
In my practice I provide clinical supervision to experienced and trainee counsellors. I work to an integrative model which is based on my professional training in supervision. This model incorporates psychodynamic, humanistic and CBT principles. I also provide supervision in these specific approaches.
I have experience in working with supervisees who practice in a wide range of settings including private practice, agencies, GP surgeries, IAPT and EAP.
I see supervision as a collaborative arrangement, it is my experience that in this supportive environment the work is mutually fulfilling and developmental.
I work with counsellors and psychotherapists in the following key areas: Reflection on client work, providing support in clinical practice, working with ethical and professional dilemmas, support in the management of a private practice.
Working locally face to face at my practice in south London and nationally via Skype/Face Time/Zoom
