If you are reading this, it is likely that you are struggling to live fully and thrive. Feeling embarrassed or uncertain about reaching out? Please be assured: you are not alone in this!

In 2024 MIND’s Big Mental Health Report and BACP Public Perception Survey (*) revealed that…

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

On a more encouraging note…

72% stated it is more socially acceptable to seek therapy

30% have more choice on how to access therapy compared to 18% in 2020

13% of sessions were online compared to 1% in 2020

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.

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.

High quality supervision is crucial to ensuring that our work meets the needs of clients. This is the foundation of a stable and viable practice.

As your supervisor I will:

• support you to embed your learning

• foster trust in your judgement and knowledge.

As my supervisee I offer you:

• an encouraging and none-shame based learning environment

• foster independent thinking

• explore and observe client work from several perspectives (7 eyes model)

• use the body (experiential work) mind, imagination and feelings to make sense of the work

• a willingness to dwell in the unknown until a new perspective emerges

• a collaborative structure (contract, agenda, goals)

• integrating different theoretical orientations

• focusing on ethics and promoting accountability

• actively promoting self-care

My ethos

I have distilled the most effective methods/approach combined with my integrative supervision training. It has evolved from a combined wealth of experience as a supervisee, active participant of peer supervision groups and as an individual supervisor. I continue to refine my methods and acquire new knowledge as my supervision practice expands.

I believe that supervision is most successful in a collaborative space with minimal direction. My practice flourishes when I am free to set the agenda and the supervisor balances tentative interventions with empathic challenges. This allows me to reach my own conclusions. I have experienced the opposite too and it was a very painful lesson that taught me to respect the supervisee’s process and to become directive only when in the client’s best interest.

My Story

Since 2009 I have successfully helped many people tackle a wide range of issues. I have many satisfied clients. Some return from time to time when faced with new challenges.

Working with my current supervisor has taught me to trust my own experience and knowledge more fully. Being part of peer supervision groups has helped me realise how much I enjoy supporting colleagues to gain different insights into their work. Training as a supervisor then felt like a natural progression. I was ready to share my learning and support colleagues to develop their practice.

My fee is £65 for a full hour or £90 for 1.5 hrs - a reduction applies for block payment of six sessions or more.
