Does it seem as though your life will never get better no matter how much you try to change it? Does constant worrying make it hard for you to complete daily tasks? Is your work performance suffering? Are your relationships with co-workers strained? Is your family in turmoil and you’re feeling powerless to change things? Anxiety, depression, conflict with others, workplace issues and life events can stop us from feeling good about ourselves and achieving our goals. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone. I can help you navigate confusing thoughts, feelings and behaviours to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs.

As an Integrative Counsellor, I incorporate person-centred, psychodynamic and other approaches to create personalised treatment plans. We’ll build a bond based on trust, respect and warmth and explore unconscious patterns that might be holding you back. We’ll also develop strategies, insights and goals to help you regain control of your life.

No matter how insurmountable things may feel, therapy can equip you with the awareness, confidence and tools to create a more fulfilling life. However, I understand it can be difficult to take the first steps toward counselling. Therefore, to help you decide whether I am the right counsellor for you I offer a free consultation, either on the phone or in person, where we can have a warm, relaxed chat about my services and your needs. Just call or email to make an appointment.

I practice in SW9, two minutes from Brixton tube, and in Herne Hill, SE24. Fees vary from £50 - £65 depending on location and appointment time. Concessionary rates for low waged or students available. Online counselling also available via Zoom, Skype, FaceTime or by phone.
