I have availability at various times Monday to Friday and, if helpful, can offer some early evening sessions. I'm afraid I cannot work at weekends.

Please note: I offer (60 minute) Zoom sessions only at present.

Therapy can be transformative - so why struggle alone? Whether you are in deep emotional pain, anxious, stressed or perhaps frustrated with your life, exploring the issues in a safe setting can be empowering. In a world that can feel frantic yet lonely, it's hard to dedicate time to yourself. But you are important: you deserve an opportunity to reassess 'how you got here', to be more self-aware and find ways to be truly happy. I offer the chance to be really heard - with empathy and without judgement - in total confidence. We'll work together to understand what is troubling you at a depth, duration and pace that feel right to you.

An experienced, integrative psychotherapist (MA, Roehampton Univ.), I can draw on Person-Centred, Psychodynamic and CBT skills to suit each client's needs. As well as private practice, I have worked in the NHS and with those in addiction. A first career in print/broadcast media here and abroad taught me the value of openness, communication and connection.

I normally offer long- or short-term face-to-face work but at present I only offer telephone or (Zoom) video counselling, which means I can offer sessions nationwide.

I currently offer one-hour video (Zoom, Skype, MS Teams). This works really efficiently, is good for building rapport and makes full use of the hour.
