Online Counselling for Worcester Park

I am a counselling psychologist with over 20 years experience working with children, adults, couples and families. I use solution focused, positive therapies that get you closer to your goals and values, teaching you tools and techniques to manage your life better and live life as you need to. I work with mental health conditions - anxieties, depression, phobias, confidence issues, relationship breakdowns, smoking cessation and weight loss, just to name a few!

There isn’t really an ideal client in terms of issues or problems. Therapy works whatever the presentation when the connection with the client/patient is a positive one and it becomes a mutual endeavor to feel better. The majority of clients present with wanting help with relationships either getting them or deepening them, this can include physical intimacy and sex and invariably the need to understand themselves in relationships. Many of my clients want to understand the meaning of sex to themselves and any sexual compulsivity that might be going on. People want to be understood and not shamed for their thoughts, actions feelings

Do you feel you are stuck, anxious or overwhelmed? Perhaps you're struggling with adapting to an empty nest, experiencing conflict at work or dealing with ageing parents. I understand how crippling these feelings and anxieties can be. Reaching out for help can be hard, but you're in the right place.

It can be difficult to choose a therapist and to understand the various titles therapists go by, as well as the different types of therapies and counselling on offer. However, I personally think one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is the fit between the client and therapist and whether the relationship feels warm and empathic. My therapeutic style is to identify and build on existing strengths and to offer a safe supportive space to explore current difficulties. Having had my own psychotherapy, I am familiar with what it feels like to be on the receiving end of therapy and I am sensitive to this during my work.
