How does it work?

How I work is that I listen to you and what you bring, I ask questions and try to understand your outlook on life and what brings you to therapy at this particular time. My aim is to get a sense of who you are and how you are with yourself and with others. I truly believe that being heard and seen can be exceptionally healing and having a space to reflect and make sense of who you are can have huge benefits.

I am an integrative psychotherapist, meaning that I tailor my sessions to your needs. I won’t try to fit you into a theoretical framework, but rather I will guide you, sometimes challenge you, to self reflect on the issues that are concerning you. I use a range of techniques from my training and experience to support you to make the changes that you hope for. I will offer a warm and safe space where you will feel heard, accepted and understood.

If you decide to enter into therapy with me, we will meet at the same time and each week. If, in any circumstances, you need to rearrange I will ask you for at least 48-hour notice. Prior to your first appointment, I will send you terms and conditions, privacy policy and consent to read and sign.

A bit about me: 

I have been a therapist for 10 years and feel very fortunate and privileged to work in this field. I came to this work through my journey in therapy which I have found both to be challenging and fulfilling.

Some of my experience includes; setting up counselling services for families and children in London where I have been working with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties, adolescents, families, adult mental health settings, NHS, drug and alcohol recovery settings and children and adults with learning disabilities. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who have experienced high levels of trauma and abuse. Prior to my private practice, I worked with the charities Respond and Time4Me. I have also been working closely with adults on parenting issues.
