About me and my therapy practice
I am a BACP accredited counsellor who works both long and short term with adults. It can be a difficult process to reach out and seek counselling; but if you are able to, it can be a really beneficial space for you to have each week. Therapy can provide a space that might not exist in your every day life; a space where 50 minutes is just about you with no interruptions and where someone truly listens and empathizes with your situation. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is at the heart of the work and I feel if we can work well together then this can help your relationships outside of the room. Therapy at times can be a difficult experience but I am here to support you as you gain strength and insight. I am currently based in Clapham Old Town and Clapham Junction and have sessions available on Monday and Thursday day times.

About me and my therapy practice
“Supervision is a relationship about a relationship about other relationships” Frawley – O’Dea and Sarrat
Relationship is at the heart of what I do whether that is client work or supervision. It’s a space where we can hold in mind the client together whilst also paying attention to our own dynamic and what we co-create and how that is significant for the client material.
I have experience providing organizational supervision both for the charity sector and EAP’s. I currently provide EAP organizational group supervision as well as support for non-allied professionals.
In private practice the supervision I offer aims to meet you at your level of development whether you are newly qualified or have years of experience. If you are a trainee or new to private practice; I am here to support you to foster your strengths as you gain clients, and to harness your growth as you develop your own voice as a therapist and ignite your own internal supervisor. I can also assist in all the practical considerations such as contracts, fee’s and insurance etc. that you need to attend to.
I aim for supervision to feel a safe space to share openly, nurture curiosity and to receive challenge in a respectful way.
I work integratively so supervision can be flexible in approach and modality.
I draw from psychodynamic theory, person-centred and relational and attachment perspectives. In my own work I use a mix of bottom-up and top-down approaches.
I am a trauma informed therapist so supervision will also have this component if needed.
