I work from my home office from Monday to Thursday.

My standard fee for therapy sessions with individuals is £80 for 50 minutes. (I offer a limited number of concessionary slots for students and the non-working and low-waged).

My fee for therapy sessions with couples is £110 for 50 minutes.

Hello. I am a counsellor/psychotherapist with over ten years experience. I work with individuals and with couples. 

I am experienced in working with concerns including (but not limited to): anxiety, low mood and depression, relationship and family issues, work stress, self-esteem concerns, self-harm, disordered eating, intrusive and/or suicidal thoughts, loss and grief, health issues, transitions including redundancy, menopause and retirement. 

My integrative training allows me to be flexible to individuals' needs. In exploring whatever is important to you, we will enable you to improve your understanding of yourself, your behaviours, thoughts and feelings, with the aim of moving forwards.

(I'm also a qualified supervisor, offering support to other therapists and counsellors. Please see the separate page entry if you're interested.)

Please contact me via phone or email and I should respond within 24 hours. 

I have worked with clients for more than ten years - in private practice and via the NHS - so I have wide experience of different issues and concerns. 

I work from a dedicated room in my home in central/north Kingston. (Close to Kingston station and to the 65 bus route). It's a quiet, private space that allows us to speak openly about whatever you'd like to explore.

My sweet dog is usually sleeping in her bed in the room with us but, if that is any of concern, she can happily go to a different part of the house.

I generally suggest that we have an initial brief chat on the phone before booking a first session together.

At the first session, I'll be interested to find out more about you and what you're looking for. I'll explain how I work. Together we can decide whether you're happy to set-up a series of sessions.

I currently have some availability for monthly supervision sessions on Tuesday afternoons and Friday mornings.

I offer supervision sessions in person in Kingston Upon Thames (KT2) and online (usually via Teams).

My aim with supervision is to provide a space for reflection and learning. The intent is to support my supervisee's professional and personal well-being and development, with the ultimate goal of enabling safe and effective client work. I hope that this can be done through a collaborative relationship which allows for creativity and exploration.

My style of supervision is linked to my therapeutic model - integrating a range of learning and experience, with a particular emphasis on relational aspects. I utilise the Seven-Eyed Model of supervision, along with consideration of ego states, stages of development and the drama triangle (amongst other concepts).

I am happy to supervise case work involving individual adults (18 and over). I don't currently offer supervision to therapists who work primarily with CBT, EMDR or other specialist models.

I adhere to BACP's professional standards and ethical guidelines. Whilst I aim to work collaboratively with my supervisees, I prioritise issues raising clinical risk or safeguarding concerns (for supervisees and their clients).
