Counselling in Worcester Park

I am an accomplished and experienced therapist, having worked in the addiction and mental health field since 2004. I have worked with a wonderful variety of clients during this time, in both private and criminal justice settings. I have extensive knowledge of addiction, alcoholism, codependency, love addiction, trauma and eating disorders. I am a compassionate, understanding, and reflective therapist. I adopt a calm and positive outlook upon life, and create a non-judgmental connection with my clients. I will help you explore unhelpful patterns of thinking or behaviour, and support you as you make positive changes in your life.

I am a counselling psychologist with over 20 years experience working with children, adults, couples and families. I use solution focused, positive therapies that get you closer to your goals and values, teaching you tools and techniques to manage your life better and live life as you need to. I work with mental health conditions - anxieties, depression, phobias, confidence issues, relationship breakdowns, smoking cessation and weight loss, just to name a few!

It can be difficult to choose a therapist and to understand the various titles therapists go by, as well as the different types of therapies and counselling on offer. However, I personally think one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is the fit between the client and therapist and whether the relationship feels warm and empathic. My therapeutic style is to identify and build on existing strengths and to offer a safe supportive space to explore current difficulties. Having had my own psychotherapy, I am familiar with what it feels like to be on the receiving end of therapy and I am sensitive to this during my work.

Welcome. There can be times in our lives when we feel low, sad, anxious or have feelings of being unable to cope. Maybe you are struggling with a relationship, work of family related issues or have feelings of low self-esteem. Making the first step in to therapy can sometimes feel daunting but you have done this by coming to this website. Our sessions are confidential,professional,calm and can be tailored to meet your needs. We can explore how you are feeling which may allow you to reflect on making a change to your life which can improve the way we feel about ourself and others.

Therapy works whatever the presentation when the connection with the client/patient is a positive one and it becomes a mutual endeavour to feel better and work in goals. The majority of clients present with wanting help with relationships and/or sex. Therapy helps deepen both physical and sexual intimacy and invariably better understanding of relationships. Many of my clients want to improve sex and their relationships. People want to be understood and not shamed for their thoughts, actions feelings

There are many issues that can impact our way of living. Whether the impact is great or small, sometimes we need support to help us through these times. I hope to be able to provide you with a space to explore some of the issues that you may be experiencing. I am a Registered Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist (MBACP) and Trainee CBT Therapist, which means that I can draw upon a range of psychotherapeutic approaches in supporting you. I am able to offer both telephone & remote video sessions.

Mind-Growth Mastery is a non-profit organisation offering various therapies from qualified professionals and mature, trainee therapists.
