My Approach

I work with adults on a one to one basis for either short term counselling or long-term psychotherapy. Talking therapy can give you space to explore and understand a deeper sense of yourself and the issues you face. The aim of the work is so that you can empower yourself towards change and your full potential.

IN PERSON & ON-LINE THERAPY
I see clients face to face in my private therapy room which is located in the Teddington/Hampton Hill area (TW11) close to Richmond upon Thames and Twickenham. I also offer an on-line counselling and psychotherapy service for clients seeking a remote talking therapy service. If you are interested, I would suggest a short chat about your needs would be a great place to start. This will also give me an opportunity to answer any questions or concerns you may have about working in this way. There is no fee for this initial chat.

About Me

I am a warm, experienced, UKCP registered psychotherapist and qualified counsellor. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where you can express and explore whatever is going on in your life. I am experienced in working with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, bereavement and relationship issues.

I am also a certified Transactional Analyst. I believe Transactional Analysis psychotherapy can help clients achieve change on many different levels. I work with clients cognitively, behaviourally and relationally which has a range of advantages in that it offers different ways of working that can tackle different issues. For example, it allows us to work together to help you to understand your anxiety, raise your awareness so you can start to see when and why it is triggered.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
You may find it easier to talk about your personal, family or relationship issues with an independent and professional psychotherapist. You can expect one or a series of weekly confidential, professional face to face sessions which last 50 minutes, each held in a private, confidential and comfortable setting.

Talking with a counsellor or psychotherapist offers space to help identify the choices for change and to make sense of individual circumstances.

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF YOU?
Sessions might involve you talking about life events, your feelings and emotions, your relationships, how you think, along with your patterns of behaviour. You will be supported so that you can begin to understand yourself better and to find your own solutions, to mobilise change or engage with your situation more compassionately.

Please contact me here to arrange an introductory session to see how talking therapy may help you. I may also be able to help with questions or queries about counselling and psychotherapy via e-mail. The phone number is a confidential number, so please feel free to leave a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

COUNSELLING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY TRAINEES
