About me and my therapy practice

I work both face to face and online with individual clients who are experiencing problems in their life, no matter how big or how small. I am a trauma informed therapist and understand the importance of creating a safe and confidential space right from the star, so you can feel comfortable to explore your issues without fear of being judged. . At first it is helpful to have a weekly session so we can build an empathic therapeutic relationship in which you feel listened to and fully accepted. I will not try to "fix you", advise or give opinions, but will facilitate you to explore what is going on for you and the feelings that you're experiencing, so that you are able to gain insight and move forward with your life.

Practice description

As an integrative counsellor I use ideas from different "modalities" in counselling, which will enable you to explore what is going on for you currently, whether you are experiencing problems in your relationship, family issues, anxiety, grief or stress and anxiety. We will explore your strengths and coping strategies, and look at well being tools that might be helpful to support you as you work through the issues that are causing you pain or emotional distress.

It may be that experiences from childhood, or past trauma are making you feel caught up in a repetitive cycle, and bringing this into focus will help you find different ways of understanding and reacting to events in the present. I will help you identify unhelpful thoughts and beliefs that may be causing you to feel shame and anxiety, we can challenge these and help you to develop more self compassion, which can really help if you are feeling stuck.

My first session

When you first contact me, we can arrange to have an initial 60 minute no obligation "taster" session, at my practice room in Dorking, or online if you prefer. This will be an opportunity to ask any questions you might have and also to discuss what brings you to therapy and the issues you want to work on. You will get an idea of how I work and if we decide to work together we can arrange to meet regularly for as long as needed.
