When life's challenges become overwhelming and you're struggling to make sense of events, your emotions, your behaviour or the actions of others towards you, allowing yourself to seek support is the first step towards resolving your difficulties. The next step is finding the right support for you.

As a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor. My approach to helping you is relational, person-centred and transcultural. Using a genuine, confidential, non-judgemental talking therapy. I aim to offer therapeutic support in a calm, relaxed and creative environment. 

Whether you are experiencing anxiety and/or depression, family or relationship issues, challenges in your studies or work, cultural difficulties or personal development issues, we can explore these together - discovering new perspectives, as you move towards a better understanding of yourself and circumstances. The therapy can move at a pace that suits you, so that you can move on with your life.

Other online services I offer include mentoring for counsellors in training, plus group facilitation of the exploration of race and culture in therapy and other helping relationships. Please contact me for more information.

Counselling sessions are online or by telephone, for up to 50 minutes, at a charge of £50 per session/£60 for early or evening appointments/concessions for students and counselling trainees. 

Do take a look at my website to learn more about my practice and be in touch by email or phone. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have about the counselling services I offer.

We will begin with a free telephone consultation of up to 20 minutes to discuss your needs and see how we might best work together. This telephone consultation is by appointment and does not include your initial enquiry, unless by mutual arrangement. Your first therapy session will be arranged as soon as possible. Counselling sessions are up to 50 minutes.

An online consultation is required to arrange mentoring or group facilitation. This is by appointment and does not include your initial enquiry. Please contact me for more information.

I am currently accepting clients for group facilitation/training and 1-to-1/group mentoring.

I am a qualified and experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor, group facilitator, trainer and mentor with experience in working with the transcultural relationship in therapy settings and other helping relationships. 

For helping professionals and organisations wishing to explore the significance of race, culture and heritage in the context of their work, I offer a programme of bespoke interactive online/on-site training workshops. The space is confidential, experiential, creative and expressive - stimulating awareness and encouraging sensitivity through word, mark-making, movement and sound. Participants are invited to consider their responses to cultural and racial differences, to explore the impact of these responses on mental health and wellbeing, and to share best practice.

My online mentoring service offers confidential, practical and emotional support throughout the counselling training experience. As a mentee, you will be encouraged to reflect, goal set and consider different perspectives. You will increase your self-awareness, strengthen your skills and boost your confidence. As your mentor, I will be your motivator and advocate, supporting you to navigate the challenges of training to be a counsellor. Frequency of sessions is by mutual arrangement.

Workshops and training are offered as one-hour, two-hour, half-day or full-day sessions - online or visiting. Fees vary, so please contact me for details.
