About me and my therapy practice
I have worked in healthcare for many years, training as a therapist later in life which allowed me to bring maturity and experience to the role. Working in healthcare made me appreciate just how important the therapeutic relationship is in the journey to health and wellbeing.
My educational background in English helps me understand the importance of analysing narrative and how it is informed by our environment. By examining our own "story," we can gain insight into how our beliefs and perceptions are impacting our lives and work towards a more empowering narrative.
I completed three years training in integrative counselling and therapy. Integrative training covers several therapeutic modalities which allows me to develop a more personal and tailored approach to different individuals and their goals.As well as private practice, I have experience working in the NHS for Lambeth Talking Therapies seeing a large range of clients from diverse backgrounds.
Practice description
As a therapist, I offer warmth, sincerity and a non-judgmental regard. I am down-to-earth and like to work collaboratively with my clients. I have a person-centred approach that places my clients at the heart of my work and respects the uniqueness of each individual. My practice is also informed by psychodynamic and attachment theory which looks at how early development and experience, influences our relationships and our sense of self. I will also work in the here-and-now and address thoughts and feelings as they arise, noticing how past patterns may be playing out in the present.
I am happy to provide long-term, short-term and time-limited therapy.
My face-to-face sessions take place in a comfortable, dedicated private practice space in Greenwich conveniently located between Cutty-sark and Greenwich DLR stations.
Occasional online sessions will be offered when clients cannot get to me.
My first session
On the first session we will normally consider what brought you to therapy. Some people come with clear issues they would like to work on. Others may just have a sense that something is not right and would like to explore this feeling. I will normally ask what you would like to get from therapy or how you would like to use the sessions. This may include discussing any goals you would like to work towards.
