I work with clients in the Great London area online.  I have specialist training with ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online).  This approach has proven very popular with my clients as it offers convenience and flexibility.  I can discuss the approach further in an introductory call. 

About me and my therapy practice

Are you dealing with loss, grief or struggling to make a change in your life? Perhaps it is the bereavement of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, loss of a job, change in circumstances or simply feeling a bit overwhelmed and lost in life itself. You may be struggling with sadness, anxiety, stress or deeper depression. I hope I can help. I also deal with men's issues as they are often more reluctant to seek help but are seen as in the highest risk groups for anxiety and burnout. I support many gay clients and those dealing with LGBTQ+ concerns. I also work with couples dealing with relationship issues. 

I am a BACP Accredited Integrative Counsellor and Therapist with a Person Centred foundation. As a member of BACP, I follow its Ethical Framework. This ensures counsellors and therapists keep the wellbeing and safety of clients at the core of their practice. I keep up to date in my skills and competencies with regular CPD training. As with all therapists, I have regular supervision and am fully insured. 

Practice description

I am an Integrative therapist with a Person Centred foundation. What does this mean? Put simply, I believe you know yourself best but at the moment you're probably feeling anxious, lost or uncertain. By observing and understanding your concerns, I can work with you to explore and work through whatever is on your mind and find a path ahead. I believe this approach helps people feel more empowered and can lead to profound change. As an Integrative Counsellor and Therapist, I draw on various skills and approaches depending on what works best for you. It is important that I work alongside you to understand your issues, needs and, if appropriate, your goals. Whatever the approach, I am there to help you explore, reflect and better understand what’s going on for you and how we can make things better.

My first session

I understand you may be feeling nervous or unsure about what to expect. That is totally understandable.

I offer a free 30-minute phone or online consultation to discuss your needs and if I am best placed to support you. If you feel it is right for you, then we can book our first session where we can explore a way forward that suits you. The BACP rightly insists that we make an agreement together from the start and this is to ensure that I am meeting your expectations and abiding by its Ethical Framework.

Our first session will give us a chance to get to know each other better and explore how we may work together. I work in a way that best suits you. It may be that you just need a safe and quiet space to unpack and explore feelings that are troubling you. It may be that you want to make a change or challenge your way of thinking to be the best version of yourself. Either way, I offer a secure, non-judgemental and respectful space for us to work together.
