I offer both Couple and Individual Counselling

I specialize in working with couples. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or feeling disconnected, counselling offers a space for both of you to explore challenges and create meaningful change together.

The loss of loved ones, relationship breakdown, difficulties at work, and poor physical health, for example, may have a huge impact on our ability to function.
I am a registered Practitioner Psychologist (HCPC) and a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS). I believe that one of the most important aspects of counselling is the relationship that we develop between us, and I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work together to explore the issues that are important to you.

My main approach is Existential Psychotherapy, which I use to help support clients through experiences such as bereavement, long-term illness, career change, traumatic relationships and questioning their sense of identity.
No-one knows your world as well as you do. However, sometimes, that world can be difficult to understand. Perhaps your world changed recently and you’re struggling to make sense of things now. Maybe you feel low or anxious and aren’t sure why. Talking things through with someone can help.

My experience ranges from various issues such as bereavement/ grief, trauma, domestic abuse, postnatal depression, homelessness, personality disorders, mental/physical health problems, alcohol/substances issues, or relationship/work difficulties.
I can assist you to understand better, accept, and be compassionate towards yourself; gain insight into behaviours and patterns you may have and ways you can resolve them, reduce your stress levels and address occupational issues and improve your relationships with others. Poor communication and infidelity are some of issues I support couples with.

It can be painful to feel held back in life, that somehow you are meant for more, yet being at a loss to know how to move forward.
Life is not always straightforward, at times our path can feel uncertain or disappear completely. Trauma, loss and grief are perhaps inevitable and I can help here.
Together, working at a mind, body and feelings level, we will gently explore and uncover past dynamics, their impact today and work to decipher a meaningful path forward.

I have a particular interest in working with shame, grief and family trauma.
I originally trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in the 1980's and then worked as an actor for many years: over the last 22+ years my life started to take a different turn and I now enjoy working as a counsellor with individual clients.
As an Integrative Transpersonal Counsellor I draw together different approaches whilst offering therapy with soul - looking beyond the immediate problem, or symptom to work in ways that honour each client's deeper journey.
For me therapy has meant a chance to revisit old stories and beliefs whilst gaining fresh insights and understandings.

I have a lot of experience working with loss and grief, and also perinatal mental health, however I work with a wide range of issues.
My primary training is in a holistic and transpersonal model of therapy, which means I work with the whole person - mind, body, feelings and hold the perspective that the problems we face also hold potential for something new to emerge.
I use an integrative and relational approach and believe therapy should adapt to meet each client’s needs. This means our sessions might sometimes involve deep discussions on concepts and theories, while at other times, we may focus more on emotions, or imagery, or something which feels more ‘coach-like’ in style.

Alongside my private practice, I work as a bereavement counsellor at St Joseph's Hospice, Hackney.
I work with people who find that the appearance they present to the world contrasts starkly with how they feel inside. That tension reaches a point where they know they need help. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, sad, or simply out of sync, the promise of every therapeutic encounter is hope. Working together in a confidential relationship, we can explore the feelings and experiences that are preventing you from moving forward. You can begin the journey of meaningful change.

I provide general individual counselling and some of my specialties include working with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, past trauma, eating disorders, loss and bereavement.
Each one of us struggles in life at one point or another. When the difficulties in life feel too much to manage on our own, counselling and psychotherapy offer a confidential and safe environment in which we can explore these difficulties and find the direction to lasting changes. Often our current difficulties have their roots in the past. Problems emerge when we stick to our old ways of coping. Counselling can help us make links to the past and find more adaptive ways of coping. It can help us to tune in to our emotions and thus understand what matters the most and what needs to be changed.

Bereavement Counsellors
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
