Online Sessions:

I offer flexible online sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday evenings from 6pm to 9pm. These online sessions provide a convenient way to access therapy from the comfort of your own space, allowing you to fit sessions into your busy schedule.

In-person Sessions:

For those preferring face-to-face sessions, I offer in-person sessions on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm. These sessions take place in Clapham, Southwest London. Please contact me to check availability and schedule your in-person session.

Session Frequency:

Whether you prefer weekly or fortnightly sessions, I accommodate your needs and preferences to ensure a consistent and effective therapeutic process.

I specialise in supporting individuals, couples, and parents facing relational challenges. Relationships can be complex, and my goal is to provide a safe space for positive change. You can book individual weekly sessions or explore my programs on my website.

In sessions, I integrate:

Person-Centered Therapy: Creating a warm, empathetic space to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Collaborative work to challenge unhelpful patterns and enhance communication.

Psychodynamic Therapy: Exploring past experiences to understand present relationships.

Mindfulness-Based Approaches: Cultivating awareness and self-compassion for improved relationships.

Somatic Therapy: Addressing mind-body connections for healing and balance.

I offer:

• Single Sessions: Booked weekly to address immediate concerns and progress at your pace.
• Parenting Coaching Programme: A 12-week journey to strengthen parenting skills and enhance parent-child relationships. Visit my website for details.
• SELF Coaching Programme: Personalised coaching to foster self-awareness, emotional regulation, and lifestyle enhancement. Learn more on my website.

Whether you're an individual, couple, or parent, I'm here to support your journey to healthier relationships. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your needs and goals.

In our sessions, you can expect a collaborative and non-judgmental atmosphere where you can openly discuss what's happening in your life. 

Whether you're struggling with communication issues in your relationships, feeling overwhelmed by parenting challenges, or facing personal growth obstacles, we'll work together to understand and address your concerns.

 My approach draws from a blend of therapeutic techniques, each tailored to your needs and preferences. This might involve exploring your thoughts, emotions, belief and behaviours  in depth, finding the root cause both through talking therapy and somatic work to understand mind-body connection.  In sessions we also practice mindfulness exercises to increase awareness and relaxation during the week.  

We might also incorporate journaling or other creative methods to help you reflect on your experiences outside of our sessions. By integrating these diverse approaches, we can create a customised treatment plan that empowers you to understand your challenges and cultivate meaningful change in your life. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, couple, or parent.  I am committed to providing compassionate guidance and expertise to help you on your journey towards healing and growth.

For your first session, I offer a complimentary 30-minute phone call where you can ask any questions you have and get to know me better. This gives us an opportunity to discuss your concerns and determine if my approach aligns with your needs.

If you're interested in moving forward, I'll provide you with a questionnaire  to gather more information about what's going on for you. This helps me tailor our sessions to address your specific challenges and goals.  I will also send you an agreement to read and sign before we start the sessions.

Once you've completed the questionnaire and decided to proceed, we'll book your first session through my website. This initial session serves as an assessment, allowing me to gain a deeper understanding of your situation and needs.

Please note that if you're interested in my parenting course, you can find more information on my website. This 12-week course focuses on parenting skills and includes coaching sessions where you'll engage in activities with your child to build their self-esteem and strengthen your bond.

I'm committed to providing you with the support and guidance you need to understand what is going on and achieve your goals. I look forward to supporting you on your counselling journey.
