I currently have availability.

Life is difficult. Sometimes overwhelmingly so.  The right support can be incredibly helpful.  

At times of distress we often feel at our most isolated; we may find it hard to see beyond our immediate unhappiness and to draw on our inner resources. Seeing a compassionate therapist can be helpful, providing a safe and enquiring space to explore, find our footing again and grow from our challenges. Therapy may not always feel easy, but at its best it can be supportive, empowering and liberating.

Taking the initial step of contacting a therapist can be scary but as an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist I trust that I am able to “meet you where you are" and provide a safe, non-judgemental space to work collaboratively with you and to explore ways to help you move forward.

I am trained to work with adults and am also a qualified child psychotherapist.

If you feel that there are difficulties in your life or that your children are struggling in their own journeys to adulthood I would be happy to meet to talk further about how I might be of help.

Training, qualifications & experience

I am registered as both an adult counsellor and a child psychotherapist and work in private practice with adults, adolescents and children.

I hold a Masters Degree in Integrative Child Psychotherapy (Institute for the Art in Therapy & Education) and a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling (Highgate Counselling Centre). I have also trained for two years in Core Process Psychotherapy, a Buddhist and mindfulness informed psychotherapy (Karuna Institute), studied Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Depressed Adolescents (Anna Freud Centre) and undertaken foundation trainings in Fundamentals of Psychosynthesis (Institute of Psychosynthesis) and a short training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT).

A first session with me will be slightly longer than the usual 50 minute therapy session.  We would meet for 75 minutes and this gives us more opportunity to explore your immediate concerns and to gather some background about the wider context of your life that is an important part of the way I work.  It will also give you an opportunity to see how comfortable you are with me and my way of working and to ask any questions.  I'll then invite you to take a day or two to reflect on our meeting and see if I feel like the right person to continue working with.

Providing a friendly, safe, compassionate space is at the heart of my practice.  Therapy is a collaboration between the client and the therapist and in this safe space I will work with you at your pace to understand and explore your concerns and help support you in developing your understanding and resilience. 

I offer a private and comfortable setting in my home with parking available to clients.
