Are you struggling with life changes and transitions?  If so, I am here to listen and sensitively support you.

​​

I’m a BACP registered integrative counsellor and therapist offering short and long-term therapy for adults, both in-person in Clapham Junction and online. I work with a wide range of adults from across London particularly in Wandsworth, Battersea, Tooting, Earlsfield, Balham and Putney. 

 

I also work as a therapist for a local NHS Talking Therapy service.
 

Do any of these feel familiar?
​​

• Are you contemplating a second career, or wanting to study or retire?

• Do you have a parent with dementia or a serious illness and feel overwhelmed by the responsibility of organising their care?

• Are you trying to meet the needs of your stressed children sitting their GCSEs and A Levels?

• Do you feel bereft and sad looking at the empty bed of your now adult child who has gone to university or left home?

• Do you yearn for more time with your partner? Or crave independence and freedom?

• Is it hard to accept and embrace body changes as the years go by?

• Are you mourning intimacy?

• Perhaps you feel tired (and a little resentful) providing childcare for your very lovely but exhausting young grandchildren?

Whatever your age, you matter.
 

• You may be lonely, or in need of someone to talk to.

• You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed or unfulfilled.

• You may be experiencing ongoing conflict in your relationship, struggling with grief, sadness, or exhaustion.

• You may have diagnosed or undiagnosed Autism (ASD) or ADHD and are finding it increasingly hard as the years pass by to regulate your emotions in this increasingly neurotypical world.

• Are you feeling stuck and wanting to bring about changes?
   

​If one or more of these resonate with you then I may well be the counsellor for you.
 

What do I offer?​

 

I provide a warm, calm, and empathetic space both in person or online for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, no matter how complex or painful these may be.

​

I am interested in relationships and how we communicate with those around us; how we cope with stress in the workplace and juggle the continual demands of family life.
 

After a lengthy teaching career of 25 years in a local inner-city state secondary school, I understand the vast impact that work pressures and intense scrutiny place on our mental health as well as on our relationships with our children, partners, and parents. 
 

I offer a weekly opportunity for you to talk, share and explore in a confidential and safe space without judgement.
 

How do I work?
 

I am a BACP registered integrative counsellor using a range of modalities and approaches to address your needs in the way that best suits you.
 

My role is to listen to you, support you to be curious, reflect and self-explore as you try to find meaning in this often confusing and overwhelming world.

 

It is my hope that we forge a trusting and non-judgmental relationship and that our therapeutic work helps you to develop your self-awareness, support your well-being, enhance your autonomy and self-compassion.

​

Stories and patterns
 

Working together we will try to make meaning as you share your story with me.
 

I am interested in your early attachment stories and relational experiences. It is likely we will explore how the past has impacted your current relationships and shapes the patterns and life-long thinking of your adult life.
 

Looking within
 

My wish is that our therapeutic work will encourage you to look within, enhance your curiosity and encourage you to feel more secure, more self-aware, and more self-accepting as you navigate the pressures, challenges, and adjustments of everyday life.
 

Fee
 

I charge £66 per session (50 minutes) for both face to face and online appointments.
 

Next steps

​

Once you contact me, I try to get back to you very promptly.

I offer a free 15-minute telephone initial conversation for you to tell me a little about yourself and decide if you feel we might be a good fit.

At our first meeting we talk about the issues you would like to bring to therapy and we agree on how many sessions will initially work for you. 

We regularly check in to review and discuss how you are experiencing us working together.
