Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in New Malden
Your well-being is the heart of a life lived fully.
We often think of health as physical, but mental health is just as vital. Therapy is a gentle process of turning toward yourself with curiosity instead of judgment. It’s about building the self-awareness you need to create lasting change. You deserve a space where you don't have to carry that weight alone.
Whether you’ve been in therapy before or are taking a brave first step today, I know how daunting it feels to find the "right" person. My goal is to truly listen to the nuances of your life and tailor our sessions to meet you exactly where you are.

Shame dies when stories are shared in safe spaces. Each of us has our own unique story, and over my 7 years, I’ve had the privilege of hearing stories from people of all ages and backgrounds.

If you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or past trauma, or find it hard to maintain relationships or confidence, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment to help you navigate life’s challenges and find clarity.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel stuck in patterns they cannot shift on their own. You may be living with intense emotions, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or the impact of trauma. These struggles can leave you exhausted, hopeless, uncertain about who you are, and so overwhelmed that you detach from others. You might long to feel more grounded and confident, more at peace with uncertainty, and with the energy to move forward in the areas of life that matter most. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ practice in the NHS and settings, helping clients move towards lasting change.

I am committed to fostering a warm, genuine relationship based on respect, curiosity and acceptance.
There are many reasons why people seek psychological support, perhaps they feel stuck in one or more areas of their life or they have noticed unhelpful and hurtful patterns of being, both with themselves and others, and would like this to be different. People may want to better understand where these patterns come from and how they can change. Often life can ‘look good on paper’ and yet a person can feel unhappy or that something is lacking in their life. In therapy we can explore what might be underlying a sense of discontent or unease.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counsellors
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
