My practice is open Tuesday 5.30 pm-8.30 pm, Wednesday and Thursday 5.30 p.m.–7.30 p.m. Saturdays 9.00 a.m. – 12.30 p.m.

I am happy to help you in counselling interventions which suit your needs and busy life style. And therefore I offer Counselling either In-Person in three locations (Ealing/Soho/Thame) or virtually using a secure Video platform (Zoom)

I am a Person Centred Therapist by training, I also manage a Computerized Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme, addressing Anxiety Stress and Depression, deliver training on the Solution Focused approach and many specialist counselling subjects and promote healthy living. I provide support to clients in relationship difficulties, workplace concerns, grief and loss, emotional distress and helping clients to deal with change, transition and trauma.  I have recently completed part 3 of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with the EMDR Academy and am an EMDR Therapist in Training. 

We will work in collaboration to help you move forward in the way that you chose.  I provide open ended counselling (unlimited sessions) I am also comfortable in agreeing a short term model.  Session last 50 minutes.  If you are wanting sessions to incorporate EMDR then this may require longer sessions up to 90  minutes.  Wherever possible I provide opportunities for you to provide regular feedback on how you are doing and on how you found our sessions together though the use of regular outcome measure surveys.  I am committed to evidence based counselling.

I offer a free consultation to decide whether I can be of assistance to you.

I provide sessions in the evenings Monday - Thursday until 7PM, also on Saturday 9.00 am. - 12.30 p.m.

Often it is difficult to share our thoughts with those who know us most, or we can feel disconnected when faced with challenges and difficulties.  I am  passionate about providing a collaborative, safe and confidential service to those recognizing that they need a secure therapy space to talk through worries and concerns, traumatic experiences or life's crossroads. My aim is to help you move to a more balanced, purposeful, and meaningful lifestyle. Person Centred is my way of being but sometimes I adapt to your specific needs and work using CBT, solution focused and mindfulness  approaches. I have a wide experience of working with relationship difficulties, workplace concerns, grief and loss, emotional distress and dealing with change, transition and trauma. I have successfully completed a recognized EMDR course (Part 3) and I am now an EMDR therapist in training.  Working globally has given me a very broad experience of supporting a wide range of people from different cultural backgrounds  across the world and in the UK, and I am committed to make my services affordable but most of all, helpful. It’s good to talk! Counselling Helps!

First and foremost I am a caring, professional and flexible therapist helping to make a positive difference to you.  I follow an evidence based approach using comprehensive contracting documentation and measuring tools to help you to move forward.  I do not use Artificial Intelligence in my practice.  I currently have 2.300 hours plus of evidence based face to face counselling experience over the past 15 years.  Within the first three sessions I work together with you to establish the goals that you wish to achieve.  I will continue to work with you as long as it is helpful to do so. Currently I am providing sessions via In-Person in Ealing or secure GoogleMeet/Zoom for video sessions. My current  rate is £70  per 60 minute session.  If money is really hard to come by, or if you are on benefits I also have two low cost slots via Video per week which are currently available.

I find that an initial and free of charge 30-40 minute video or in-person visit helps to establish whether we can work together.  Alternatively if you are looking for just one therapy session to work through what you a dealing with right now then I offer a concession rate of £50 for just one session.

I currently have availability for Virtual (via Zoom) or in person Monday - Friday evenings until 7 PM and Saturdays from 9,00 AM to 12.30 PM.

I am a Person Centered practitioner, and have Supervision certification from the Metanoia Institute where I am also a registered Supervisor and Counsellor.  As an Accredited Member of the BACP I have considerable supervision experience in the Education, Local Authority and Private Sector.  I am also the leader of 11 Clinical Supervisors in my senior Director role for the EAP Workplace Options.

Committed to the BACP Ethical Framework I aim to provide collaborative clinical supervision support to qualified practitioners and student counsellors. My own clinical practice is evidence based and I draw on a wide range of experiences, whilst challenging my supervises in their own fields and clinical endeavors offering a supportive and encouraging environment. This enables learning, growth, safe counselling practice as well as maintaining effective client support and ethical practice.  You can expect  written contract and Supervision which embraces the Rogerian six conditions.

I offer a free 40 minute conversation either face to face or virtually via Zoom to determine whether I can be of service to you.  If we decide that is the case I provide a written supervision agreement outlining the level of support and regularity of sessions.  BACP guidelines regarding Supervision hours required are followed my rates are £60 per 90 minute session.  I offer concessions to students.
