1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem each year

1 young person out of 5 has mental health problems

6069 death were caused by suicide (75% men) in 2023 alone

55% feel pessimistic about the future

75% feel impacted by political uncertainty and war

57% are impacted by worries about climate change

Good mental health is not simply the absence of psychological problems. It is also about thinking, acting and feeling in ways that helps you live joyfully, overcome challenges and flourish.


Practice description

Since 2009 I have successfully helped many people tackle a wide range of issues. My clients can testify to the effectiveness of my sessions, and I can speak from personal experience about the benefits of therapy.

My practice is a safe, non-judgemental and empowering space. I see people from different races, backgrounds, nationalities and sexual orientations. I work with individuals as well as partners. I have additional qualifications in working with two or more partners (couples/ trouples etc) whether they are of opposite or same sex. I work with them in a psychosexually informed and sex positive way.


Fees:

Individual Sessions from £65

Couples Sessions from £85

My approach to Sessions

To begin with we will get a picture of where you are and where you want to get to. We will revisit this as and when needed to make sure that the work we do remains relevant to you.

Empathy, acceptance, and unconditional regard are the corner stone of my therapeutic approach. These qualities help you to connect with yourself, which in turn helps create the energy that you will need to delve deeper and promote change.

I focus on the body/mind/ feelings connection. Bringing attention to the non verbal queues to help identify feelings thoughts and emotions that have become frozen following past adverse experiences. As they are safely released you will be supported to embrace the strength and energy that were curtailed up until now.

​I'm not the kind of therapist who will sit quietly, nodding with a blank stare. If needed and appropriate, I share my views with empathy and compassion. I balance this with attentive silence and space to give you a chance to reflect and draw your own conclusions.

Whether you're in need of guidance or would like to be challenged, I can support you. Together we will flesh out an approach that caters specifically for your needs.

We'll work together. Each week, you'll have a dedicated space to delve into your experiences, thoughts and behaviours.

You may sense there is lots ‘unresolved’ within you that you’re ready to look at. Contact me to work on unresolved issues and move forward with life.
