Counselling in Gerrards Cross

I am a qualified, experienced counsellor registered with BACP. I work with adults experiencing emotional, relationship or work-related difficulties, who want to gain perspective and make changes.

I have worked with clients suffering in many different areas, anxiety, depression, burn-out, anger, grief, loss, trauma, stress, relationship troubles, drug abuse and more. I also have a great understanding of workplace stress and career issues. ​ My aim is to work with you in a sensitive, non-judgemental and respectful way, supporting you in your time of trouble, so that you can move into a greater sense of well-being.

Our work together would start by exploring what brought you to therapy and what you would hope to achieve in our sessions. The duration of sessions is 50 minutes offered remotely, by telephone or face-to-face depending on what you are comfortable with. Sessions can be long-term or short-term with a view to supporting your ongoing needs. As a MBACP and UKCP therapist, I am able to work with a wide range of issues, although some issues that I have particular experience in are anxiety, depression, trauma, domestic abuse and cultural difficulties.

I am a qualified BACP Accredited Counsellor and Family/Systemic Practitioner and I have been qualified for over twenty years. I offer a talking therapy and/or creative therapy to children, adults and young people. My approach to counselling is ‘Client-Centred’ having been trained in a number of modalities; Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Existential, CBT and as a Family Systemic Practitioner. I believe it is firstly the relationship between counsellor and client(s) which provides the foundation to explore, understand, challenge and change patterns of behaviour which are causing relationship difficulties and personal distress.

Transform your life and have peace! In a safe confidential space you can share, be heard and be listened to at a deep level. Here it is my job to help you let go of pain and suffering and realise what is getting in the way or holding you back. With my support you can learn about yourself and find useful ways to tackle problems and so create what you want in your life and how you want your life to be. Life can be a struggle sometimes including coming to terms with experiences and traumas from the past. For some people this may also include looking at belief systems, ways of thinking, feelings or behaviours that are not helpful.

I am a qualified Person Centered Counsellor and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I offer a non-judgemental, professional and safe environment where you can explore what is troubling you without fear of criticism, rejection or blame. The therapeutic process is challenging and transformative. It may take some time, although people often feel more able to engage differently with life after a relatively short period of therapy.

I understand that beginning therapy might seem a little daunting and offer a free initial 20 minute session so we can begin to get to know each other. You may be struggling with daily life and concerns about the pandemic and your future. These challenges can be affecting you in unsettling, conflicting and confusing ways and may be increasing ongoing anxiety and uncertainty. Therapy can provide a private space for you to focus on what is happening for you right now. I offer you my warmth, empathy and compassion, without judgment, and work collaboratively with you to navigate through even the most difficult times in your life.

I am a Person-Centred therapist with twenty-two years of experience dealing with a wide range of life problems. I see individuals and couples. What I offer is for you to explore with me, in a friendly and non-judgemental environment, anything causing difficulty or distress in your life. As we work together to achieve your goals, the focus is always on what you feel, what you think, and what you decide.

Entering counselling for the first time can fill you with worries and anxiety. It is important for me to create a setting so anxiety begins to ease, enabling exploration to occur. I would like to offer you a safe, warm, non judgemental space to provide security that is needed for exploration that we can take together. To have a trusting relationship between therapist and client is fundamental to bring about positive change and to be understood is to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships and your past experiences.

Worried for you, someone close to you or your child? Counselling can help. You or they may be facing issues from the past or present and feeling anxious, depressed or angry or be having relationship or self confidence problems or perhaps be struggling with a bereavement. Life can throw obstacles in our path and at times we may need some extra support. Having a safe place and support to be able to unravel worries and make sense of feelings leads to healthier ways of thinking and coping. Greater self awareness helps us choose to make changes or accept things as they are and find ways to live with a greater sense of well being.

You may be experiencing feelings that are challenging and would like to explore them in a safe, non-judgemental, and confidential space. Reaching out for support can be daunting and it takes courage to seek help that you may need. Counselling can give you the opportunity to work through these challenges that you may be facing at your pace.

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) with over 10 years of experience in the NHS.

Do you feel alone and misunderstood? Do you feel there is no one you can talk to who will keep your confidence and understand how you are feeling? If you make the decision to come and see me, I will offer you a safe, confidential and supportive environment where you can speak freely and where you will be listened to without judgement. An environment where you can be yourself and where you don't have to pretend that everything is OK. Making the decision to come for a counselling session is the first positive step in improving your mental health.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

So many of us become trapped by ways of being that no longer serve us. When you work with me, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living the life you want to lead. Therapy can be a safe space where you can be yourself without judgement. You can discover new things about yourself, understand your patterns, and how you cope with difficulties. Having this awareness leads to healing, new meaning, purpose and changes in your life.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step but it can also be a daunting one. It can be hard to know where to turn to or who to trust. I understand this firsthand as I too sought therapy many years ago to help address my own battle with depression. Indeed it was this experience that ignited my passion for helping others struggling with their mental health and which led me to re-train as a therapist. I feel very privileged to be able to support people in their time of need and strive to do so by providing a non-judgemental, compassionate and collaborative space for talking.
