About me and my therapy practice

I am a BACP accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist who draws on my experience and knowledge to provide therapy in a safe, supportive and confidential manner. I believe in the therapeutic relationship between the counsellor and client to be key, built on trust so that a shared open alliance can form.

Mental health impacts on one in four people in the UK during the course of their lives and a therapeutic intervention can be very beneficial to those who suffer from depression, anxiety, bereavement, PTSD, OCD, alcohol and drug misuse, addiction, low self-esteem, panic attacks/phobias, stress and health anxiety.

Experience

I have a wealth of experience of psychological intervention having worked in various multi-disciplinary work settings including NHS IAPT services (Improving Access to Psychological Therapies). Alcohol and Drug misuse services, renowned private residential rehabs and prison. I have also had a successful private practice in Harley Street and in the Home Counties and now works from Guildford and Godalming in Surrey.

My experience has covered various issues including but not exhaustive of anxiety, depression, stress, abuse, relationships, work, self-harm, alcohol and drug problems. Addiction, gambling, sex, eating disorders, porn and the internet.

Approach
