I Wednesday Online only available.

Wednesdays: 4pm, 5pm or 6pm. 

I practice a non-judgemental, respectful environment in which you can speak freely about what’s wrong. As a trained counsellor, I encourage you to develop insight into self-damaging or limiting thought and behaviour patterns - and I help you make positive changes and move forward into a happier life.

It could be depression, stress, anxiety, bereavement, and loss, cross-cultural issues, life changes, or an abusive relationship.

You’ll find me gentle, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. No matter what you have experienced, or what you’re going through right now, you will be accepted, acknowledged, and understood.

Just by reading this, you’ve made the first step towards feeling better. When you’re ready to get in touch.

I trained in Transactional Analysis. (TA) is a talking therapy that explores how personality is shaped by experience, often during childhood. It’s known for the phrase 'I'm OK, you’re OK’ - equal respect for ourselves and respect for others.

I have over 7 years of experience working with clients, especially in bereavement, loss, and with cancer patients and their families.

I have a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am a registered member of:

United Kingdom Association for Transactional Analysis (UKATA)

I am also a member of the following:

The Black African and Asian Therapy Network (BAATN)

Free 15min session over the phone.

After we have made contact by email, I offer a 15min session to say hello. 

In this session, you say what has bought you to therapy at this time and you are able to ask any questions you may have.

If we are happy to continue we then organise a time and day we will meet weekly.

In our first 50 min session, I will ask questions to fill in an assessment form.

Couples Counselling offers partners a place to explore their relationship by providing a safe space to express feelings, discuss recurring conflict, feelings of disconnection, infidelity, sexual issues, or difficulties related to communication and external stressors. Counselling aims to increase the partner’s understanding, respect affection, and intimacy, ultimately contributing to a mutually satisfying relationship. 

I offer a 15-minute initial chat for you to say a little about the issues you as a couple are experiencing. 

I offer 6 face to face couples counselling sessions.

In the first session I will fill out an assessment form with the couple.

 The couple will be able to talk about the issues they are having.

I will help them pinpoint the issues to concentrate on in the sessions.

There will be topics specific to them, to think about outside of the sessions.
