You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

You may be feeling anxious or overwhelmed, struggling in a relationship, dealing with anger or loss, or finding yourself repeating patterns you don't quite understand. Sometimes there isn't one particular problem — you may simply feel stuck, disconnected, or that something in your life needs to change.

I'm a UKCP-accredited Gestalt psychotherapist and BACP-registered counsellor. I offer a warm, supportive space where you can talk openly without feeling judged or expected to have the right words.

What is therapy with me like?

I'm interested in your story, but also in what is happening for you now. We might notice a feeling that's difficult to express, something happening in your body, or the ways you withdraw, become anxious, angry or protect yourself when things feel difficult.

I'm warm, curious and engaged. I won't tell you how to live your life, but I won't simply sit silently either. At times, I may gently challenge you, slow something down with you, or invite you to look at an experience differently.

Therapy with me is something we do together. With greater awareness of yourself and the patterns you've developed, we can explore whether other choices are available to you.

I work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and have a particular interest in working with men, neurodivergent clients, people experiencing relationship difficulties, and those working in high-pressure or emergency-service environments.

You don't need to know exactly where therapy will take you.

We can start with where you are.

As a Gestalt Psychotherapist, I provide a safe and welcoming space to work together to explore what’s happening in your life. My focus is on understanding your experiences, emotions, and relationships as they unfold in the present moment. Together, we’ll take the time to notice patterns that may hold you back and explore new ways to approach life’s challenges.

I believe that each person has the inner strength and resources needed to grow and create positive change, and my role is to support you in discovering these within yourself. By focusing on your feelings, thoughts, and how you relate to others, we can uncover deeper self-awareness and new perspectives. This process can help you feel more connected to yourself and others and more empowered to live in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling.

I offer both face-to-face and online sessions via Zoom.

My Practice is located in Peckham Rye.

I offer a free 20-minute consultation so you can get a sense of whether I’m the right fit for you. This is a chance to ask questions, share your concerns, and see how you feel about working with me.

If we decide to move forward, our first session will be exploratory. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other and allows you the space to talk about the issues you’d like to focus on during therapy. If we agree to continue working together, I’ll provide you with my counselling agreement and intake form to get started.

In this first session, you’re welcome to share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with about why you’re seeking counselling. I’ll also ask a few questions about your history, current situation, and overall safety to help me understand how best to support you.

My fee is £85 per session, starting from the first session, whether we meet face-to-face or online.

You don't need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy.

You may be struggling with anxiety, relationships, anger, loss or low mood. Perhaps you're good at getting on with things, but underneath you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or find yourself repeating patterns you don't quite understand.

I'm a qualified Gestalt Psychotherapist and Counsellor (MBACP, UKCP) offering face-to-face psychotherapy and counselling in Croydon, around a 10-minute walk from East Croydon Station.

I offer a warm, grounded space where you don't have to perform or find the right words. We can start with what's happening for you and understand it together.

I also have particular experience and interest in working with men, neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism, and people working in emergency services or other high-pressure environments.

Wherever you're starting from, we can begin there.

What might therapy with me be like?

As a Gestalt psychotherapist, I'm interested in your story, what's happened in your life, and how those experiences show up for you now.

We might notice a feeling that's difficult to put into words, something happening in your body, or the ways you become anxious, angry, withdraw or protect yourself when something feels uncomfortable.

I'm warm, curious and engaged. I won't tell you how to live your life, but I won't simply sit silently either. Sometimes I may gently challenge you, invite us to slow something down, or become curious with you about something we're noticing.

Therapy with me is something we do together. The aim isn't to change who you are, but to help you understand yourself and your patterns more clearly, so that you have greater choice in how you respond.

Who do I work with?

I work with adults experiencing anxiety and stress, depression and low mood, relationship difficulties, anger, bereavement and loss, trauma, emotional disconnection and difficulties with vulnerability.

I have a particular interest in working with men, including men who may be more accustomed to carrying things themselves than talking about how they feel.

I also work with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD and autism, adapting how we work to the individual rather than expecting everybody to experience or communicate emotions in the same way.

My wider professional experience includes working within emergency-service and high-pressure environments. I understand something of the demands that can come with responsibility, exposure to difficult situations and being expected to keep functioning when something may be happening underneath.

I also welcome conversations around race, culture and identity where these are important to your experience.

I offer face-to-face therapy from my practice in Croydon, as well as online therapy.

I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation.

This gives us an opportunity to talk briefly about what brings you to therapy, ask any questions you may have and get a sense of whether working together feels right.

If we decide to continue, our first full session is an opportunity to begin exploring what's happening for you. You don't need to prepare anything or tell me everything at once. We can work at a pace that feels manageable.

I may ask a few questions about your current situation, relevant history and wellbeing so that I can begin to understand how best to support you.

Sessions are 50 minutes and cost £85.

Face-to-face sessions are available in Croydon, around a 10-minute walk from East Croydon Station, alongside online sessions.
