Adults Counselling in Reigate

Deciding to start therapy with a new therapist can be a daunting prospect. I think that it is important to spend time developing a safe and genuine therapeutic relationship to build understanding about the problem and think together about ways to process this and to move forward. In my NHS work at a cardiac centre in London I support people with anxiety, low mood or adjustment issues related to their physical health condition and the impact that this has on different areas of their lives. I provide a space to think through these issues and come up with joint approaches to these issues.

Coming to counselling for the first time can be daunting and may take some courage.

If you are feeling anxious, depressed, stuck or are having difficulties with relationships, I offer a safe, confidential environment to explore these problematic issues which prevent you from getting the most out of your life.

Are you facing challenges in your personal or work life or issues over which you have no control such as loss, health, or any crisis, (big or small)? Are you looking for a therapist who offers respect, understanding, validation of you and your unique circumstances and who provides an environment of trust where you can both work collaboratively to explore your way of 'being in the world' and where you will gain and develop your inner resources and resilience and where together you will discuss different perspectives and choices to make to improve your quality of life? Your therapeutic journey is an opportunity for transformation!

Most people at some point in their lives will struggle with painful feelings or may feel overwhelmed by past or present experiences. These can make us feel lost, anxious, confused, helpless, distressed or angry, sometimes without us knowing why. Counselling is also not just for supporting people through a crisis. Many people come to counselling to explore and get a better understanding of themselves and their lives. Whatever you are experiencing, it can be difficult to explain how we feel to the people who are closest to us. Sometimes it is easier to talk to someone who is separate from your everyday life.

My aim is to provide you with a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I believe that you have unique strengths to overcome obstacles and achieve your goals. I am passionate about helping clients build resilience and develop coping skills to navigate life’s challenges. I believe the therapeutic relationship is essential to the success of counselling, and I work to establish a trusting and collaborative relationship with my clients. My empathy, compassion, and non-judgment values guide my work as a counsellor. I believe that everyone deserves to be heard and understood.

We seek psychological help for many reasons. Not only can psychological therapy help when life feels intolerably difficult, but it can also make an “ok” life more fulfilling. Therapy can help to reduce emotional suffering, support change, and promote personal growth. It is a collaborative process and the insight gained can help us look at life from a different perspective and enable us to respond differently to life’s challenges. People often seek support when they are facing life transitions or feel stuck in their lives.

That’s why I aim to create a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space for individuals to explore their difficulties and goals in therapy. I hope to work collaboratively with you and use my training in various evidence-based therapies to tailor sessions to your needs.
