My Approach

If you are struggling with some or many aspects of your life, feeling stuck or alone, or things just don’t feel right for you at the moment, we can have an initial phone call or email to discuss whether you might benefit from weekly psychotherapy with me.

I provide a safe and confidential space where you can express your feelings and talk about any difficulties that you are experiencing. Rather than giving advice or providing answers, my skill is to help and support you in a non-judgemental way, to find your own answers and deepen your self-awareness. My style of work is grounded in my understanding of the uniqueness of each person who comes to see me, and for us to work together to try and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and sense of self. This can involve exploring the meaning and importance of your personal experiences, relationships and particular circumstances.

The work of therapy can potentially help people to gain a deeper self-awareness and understanding of themselves. For some people it may be about feeling more connected with other people. For others it may be about lessening the impact that a traumatic event(s) has on them. Overall, therapy can help build and support a person’s self-confidence and belief in who they are, what they want, what they do and what they have to offer.

My therapy room is quiet and comfortable, and is 4 minutes walk from Angel tube station.

About Me

I have been working as an Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor for over 25 years. I trained at The Minster Centre where I was awarded a Diploma and MA in Integrative Psychotherapy in 2000. I am BACP Accredited (2003) and UKCP Registered (2004).

Between 2004 and 2006 I attended a Conversion Course for Integrative Child Psychotherapy at The Institute for Arts and Therapy in Education. In the past I have also worked with Families and Children in Primary and Special Needs Schools. I see adults for short-term work, between 6 and 12 sessions, or long term for more in-depth work, which may be for a number of months or more.

I abide by the UKCP code of ethics, and have an up to date DBS Certificate and Indemnity Insurance.

You may phone with any queries, or to discus making an initial appointment. I offer a number of reduced cost places, depending on availability and your circumstances.
