Counselling in Kingston upon Thames

I offer integrative, relational therapy to adults, young adults and adolescents. I also work with children using a play therapy and attachment-based approach, and support parents and families. Having recently lived and worked in Asia, I have an understanding of different cultural approaches, and a particular interest in in supporting expats and those who have spent formative years living or being educated in cultures different from their parents’ (adult/third culture kids).

Are social situations leaving you drained or unfulfilled? Maybe you can't speak to friends and family about how disconnected you're feeling and they aren't understanding you. Do you want to be more open, assertive and have a greater sense of purpose in life? Need time for yourself? A space to air confusing or painful thoughts and experiences that build up over the weeks. Sometimes we need to reflect and vent about our relationships with a warm, neutral professional.
