About me

If you have come to this page, you have already made a great step towards working on improving your emotional health. We are faced with many challenges as the world is currently changing fast. 

What can I help you with? -

I offer a space for individuals to explore their addiction/substance misuse e.g. alcohol/cocaine. We will explore how it is impacting your life or a family members life. I have a good working knowledge of the next steps to support you, such as local drug and alcohol services. I can help support you back to a sober, free life. For family members, you are often forgotten in the recovery process however, research tells us that family members need vital support too and gaining knowledge about addiction can help the whole family heal.

How can I help? -

I work using Integrative counselling skills to support individuals and their family members looking to gain an understanding of addiction, relapse and recovery. Working in addiction treatment centers such as Mount Carmel in London and The Priory hospital group has provided me with a vast knowledge to help support individuals who are ready to explore how they can change their lives to a fuller living experience. In life, we have many forms of bereavement, leaving substances behind can be part of that. I have watched people grow and flourish as they become experts on who they are through the support and space offered to them in a therapeutic environment when working with me.

What happens in sessions-

In a fast changing world, taking time to slow down and explore your needs in therapy sessions can have amazing benefits. I work to support individuals who are ready to explore some of life's painful losses and adverse experience, that we all face at one time or another. I work to support  people flourish and become experts on who they are so they can live out their potential. I use talking therapy , giving individuals a space they may not otherwise have. A time to be heard without judgement. The sessions last for 50 minutes and the number of sessions can be discussed at the first session. Meeting at least once a week to start is common practice and keeping the same day and time each week is beneficial. I explore the past to see if it is still presenting in your daily life and where there is deep trauma I focus on the here and now , taking a more somatic observation. I always work at your pace as this is very important.

How to get started? -

The therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one. So it is important that when you engage with any therapist, you feel happy to continue with the sessions. The first session will help us to assess your needs and inform us of how to move forward and we will discuss how we will work together for your best interest. I offer a 15 minute free discussion to provide an opportunity for you to ask questions.

During the first session I will make an assessment this is charged a session rate. This will give me the opportunity to asses if I can meet the needs of the client and for the client to decide if they would like to work with me, which is most important.
