Welcome.
ABOUT
I am an experienced Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in the Vauxhall and Oval area and am a member of the British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (MBCAP).
I recognise the importance of each individual's experience and having a space to feel heard in their story and make an active choice in their next steps. With this in mind, I create a comfortable and safe space where you can take the steps to develop a better understanding of self and your experiences, and explore how this learning can shape your future.
I have varied therapeutic experience having worked with a wide range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse amongst others. In private practice, I work with a range of issues and provide an initial phone consultation to discuss needs. I also have previous experience over working as a counsellor in the NHS (adults) and schools (6-18yrs).
Having previously worked in the private sector, I later changed career paths to focus on addressing educational and social disadvantage. I have worked in a number of different organisations supporting both young people and their families managing complex needs and facing various crisis. Through this work, I specialised in working with young people with complex behavioural and special educational needs at risk of exclusion from education and continue to support this work through volunteering and as a trustee of a charity.
Qualifications:
Level 5 Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy (CPTA)
Masters in Transformational Leadership & PGCE (TeachFirst/ CCCU)
Masters in Mechanical Engineering (Imperial College)

ABOUT MY THERAPY PRACTICE
My integrative approach means that I draw on various therapeutic theories, including psychodynamic and person centred, to develop a personal approach fitting to your needs. I work with you to create a trusting therapeutic relationship that will support you in understanding what you need from the process. I provide an open and understanding space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings about either historic or current issues.
Counselling can be challenging but also very rewarding, and so I will work with you wherever you are within your own journey so that you feel supported through the process.
LOCATION
I offer both in person counselling in the Vauxhall and Oval area and online counselling depending on your preference. I also offer flexibility in working between these modalities.
FEES
NEXT STEPS
Sessions are £70 per 50 minute session. I offer a limited number of concessionary sessions dependent on individual circumstance and availability.
To find out more about the way I work and see if it would feel like a good fit for you moving forward, I offer a free brief phone consultation that can be arranged via the Contact page.
If you then decide you would like to move forward with the process, the first session will be an initial consultation which is an opportunity for us to discuss your needs in more depth and explore what you would like to achieve in the sessions. It is a collaborative process so I encourage you to bring your honest experience to shape the work we do together.
CONTACT
Please feel free to get in touch if you have any queries or would like to book a free, brief phone consultation to find out more about the process and see if you feel it would be a good fit for you. An exact location would be confirmed before the session.
