Face-to-face on Wednesday and Thursday evenings 6pm to 10pm at The Awareness Centre, 74-80 Upper Tooting Road Tooting Bec SW17 7PB. At other times of the week and weekend by telephone video or audio call.

The Awareness Centre is an organisation which is geared up specifically to providing counselling in suitable and safe premises.

My practice is Person-Centred Counselling. I place you at the centre of the process. I talk with individuals and couples to help them to open up about their concerns, face their demons, consider doing things differently and to heal emotionally. I do not assume that couples will stay together or will separate. I work to empower each towards an emotionally healthier future.

I treat clients with respect, warmth and honesty. I take my cues from you and will not impose my views. I believe that people are experts on themselves but may not realise it. Above all, I am here to listen and to understand. I am interested in your experience and wish to help you make more sense of what troubles you. I have had much experience in dealing with anger, depression, anxiety and relationship problems.

I recognise that counselling does not usually provide magical or easy answers and that it is not usually a quick fix. But my experience has shown me that the more you engage with the counselling the more likely I can help you change for the better.

For individuals I charge £65 for 50 minutes and for couples £100 for 50 minutes.

Over the years I have encountered a breadth of issues which people have brought to me. To name some- anger, guilt, shame, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, alcohol and substance use, autism, attention deficit. I always take the view that we are all human beings and not just labels!

I work with couples in a way which is fair to each and I apply the principles of warmth, respect and honesty to each equally.

At the first session we can talk, if you wish, about what you may want to change about your life. Understandably, you will want to know if you can feel comfortable talking with me. For most of my clients they tell me that this is a yes! And we can move forward together.
