I provide a trusting and confidential place in which you can feel seen and heard, enabling you to explore the issues you are facing right now.

I'm a level 7 qualified Psychotherapist, & a registered and Professionally trained member of the British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapist (BACP), I always work in line with their ethical, confidential and professional guidelines. I'm also a member a verified member of the Counselling Directory & Psychology Today.
I offer therapy for complex based issues specialising in depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, reconstruction of self after grief and loss, work related stress and relationship challenges whether that is at home or work.
We can only truly move past issues we face by gaining an understanding of where they originate from and deal with them as they present in your current life. This may involve looking at past experiences and the emotions associated with them in a compassionate, empathic, non-judgemental, curious way, creating the right conditions for you to get to the source of your problem and see how certain triggers from the past directly inform how you think, feel, and behave in the present moment.
I work across different disciplines and draw from several therapeutic orientations to find the approach that works best for you. The work I do is adapted to your specific needs, whatever they may be, in an empathic, confidential, secure space where we can stimulate "change through talking and take action."
What I do:
Work at a pace that is comfortable for you
Provide a safe space for you that is confidential
What I don't do:
I won't diagnose you
Judge you or what you bring to the session
Give advice
Mentor you or share my own experiences

My therapy services are not about dictating what's best for you but about working together to find the most suitable approach. Whether it's long-term or short-term therapy, or the frequency of sessions, we'll decide together based on your needs and preferences.
I offer a 15-minute FREE initial consultation, an excellent opportunity to get to know each other, discuss your therapy experience and any reservations about the therapy process, and understand if therapy with me is right for you before committing to a first session. Calls can be via Zoom or phone.

Therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, and our time together is confidential. When you feel you have achieved what you were looking for via therapy, we can discuss working towards ending your therapy sessions in the most comfortable way for you.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how therapy works, or to arrange an initial Free assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to therapy, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
