Wouldn’t it be lovely to have someone to talk to? Someone to really listen as you voice what you are thinking and feeling – all that you have been keeping inside, hidden for too long.
​
‘There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.’ (Maya Angelou)
Whatever your worries, problems, pressures or concerns, I am here to listen and support you without criticism or judgement.​​
​I am a registered integrative counsellor and therapist (MBACP) with my own private practice offering short and long-term therapy for for all adults 18+ in-person, online and by telephone. I see clients weekly from across Wandsworth, Earlsfield, Clapham Junction, Tooting, Crystal Palace and elsewhere.
I have almost two years of recent experience working on a weekly basis for my local NHS Talking Therapy Service.
I work Monday to Thursday from 8am to 8pm.
How we work together
For me, the relationship between the client and therapist is at the heart of the therapy. We work together with integrity; yet you are always the expert on you.
‘Integrity is the foundation upon which trust in relationships is originally formed, and upon which shattered trust may be restored.’ (Judith L Herman)
​
Often our work may be guided by an attachment-based approach. We may reflect on your earliest attachments, explore patterns within your life stories, look at how these impact your adult relationships and consider how you communicate (or perhaps struggle to communicate) with those you love.
I can help you with:
Abuse, Ageing, ADHD, Anxiety, Autism Spectrum, Bereavement, Boarding School Survival, Caring, Coercion and Gaslighting, Child & Parenting, Communication, Conflict, Depression, Emotionally Immature Parents, Family, Hoarding, Inner-Critic & Self-Blame, Intimacy, Grief & Loss, Menopause, Mothers & Daughters, Mourning, Neurodiversity, People-Pleasing, Personal Development, Redundancy, Relationships, Self-Esteem, Siblings, Stress, Trauma, Women's issues, Work Pressures.
Fee
​
Therapy sessions are held on a weekly basis. Each session lasts for 50 minutes. My fee is £70 for all in-person, online and telephone appointments. I offer a discount to counsellors in training and those on a low income.
A little about me
​
So far, my life has been rich in terms of lived experience, motherhood, work and travel and has presented plenty of personal and professional challenges along the way. After many nourishing years teaching English at a local inner-city state secondary school for boys, I opted for a change choosing to embark on a second career in therapy and counselling. I am happily immersed in my therapy work and am thoroughly committed to supporting my clients. My love of learning means that I frequently sign up for all sorts of courses. My personal development work is ongoing. Camping and sitting by a fire with those I love is something I treasure.
​
I value, celebrate, and welcome diversity and difference.
​
I am fully insured and hold an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service)

Next steps
​​​
‘To be hopeful means to be uncertain about the future, to be tender toward possibilities, to be dedicated to change all the way down to the bottom of your heart.’ (Rebecca Solnit)
Having the courage to tell your story can develop your curiosity and hopefulness, help forge self-compassion and bring about shifts and change.
​​Contact me and I will get back to you as promptly as I can. I will answer any questions you have, and we will take it from there. Assuming you feel comfortable and want to move forwards then we arrange to meet either in-person, online or by telephone. There is no obligation to book any more than this first session.
I look forward to hearing from you as you take these first brave steps to restore and renew your wellbeing.
