My Approach

I work with adults on a one-to-one basis, offering both short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy. Talking therapy provides a space to explore and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and the challenges you face. My goal is to support you in empowering yourself to create meaningful change and reach your full potential. My approach is rooted in Transactional Analysis, a modality that focuses on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help uncover internal processes that may be holding you back, while also exploring your interpersonal relationships.

In-Person and Online Therapy
I offer face-to-face sessions in my private therapy room, located in the Teddington/Hampton Hill area (TW11), near Richmond upon Thames and Twickenham. For those seeking remote support, I also provide online counselling and psychotherapy services.

If you’re interested, I recommend starting with a short, no-fee chat about your needs. This conversation will allow us to discuss how therapy might support you and address any questions or concerns you may have about the process.

About Me

I am a compassionate and experienced UKCP-accredited psychotherapist and qualified counsellor. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment where you can explore and share what’s happening in your life. My areas of expertise include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bereavement, and relationship challenges. I also have significant experience supporting individuals who are childless not by choice, as well as adults navigating the complexities of part-time caregiving for elderly relatives. Additionally, I have a special interest in helping clients who identify early emotional trauma or neglect as factors contributing to anxiety and low self-esteem in their adult lives.

I am a certified Transactional Analyst (CTA) and believe that Transactional Analysis psychotherapy can facilitate meaningful change on multiple levels. My approach integrates cognitive, behavioural, and relational techniques, offering a versatile framework to address a variety of challenges. For example, we can work together to deepen your understanding of anxiety, helping you identify its triggers and develop greater awareness to manage it more effectively.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Many people find it easier to discuss personal, family, or relationship challenges with an independent and professional psychotherapist. I offer weekly, confidential 50-minute sessions, either face-to-face or remotely, in a private and comfortable setting. These sessions provide a supportive space to explore your circumstances, make sense of your experiences, and identify meaningful choices for change.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU?
Sessions provide an opportunity to explore life events, emotions, relationships, thought patterns, and behaviors. With my support, you can gain a deeper understanding of yourself, discover your own solutions, and work towards change or a more compassionate engagement with your situation.

To get started, please contact me to arrange a free initial telephone consultation to discuss how therapy might support you. If you decide to proceed, I offer an introductory session at a reduced rate. Following this, we can begin a six-session exploratory phase to build rapport and determine if we are a good fit for ongoing work together. You can reach me on my confidential phone number—feel free to leave a message, or email me and I’ll get back to you promptly.

COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY TRAINEES
If you are looking for a personal psychotherapist to support you during your psychotherapy or counselling training, please feel free to reach out to discuss how we might work together. I offer a concession rate for trainee counsellors and psychotherapists at £67.50 per 50-minute session.
