We can all have times in our lives when we feel unsure how to move forward. Maybe you have noticed patterns of behaviour which were once useful are now unhelpful or making you feel stuck? Or you don't know where to begin in making changes in your life? In sessions with me the first step will involve getting a better understanding of your difficulties, and then finding new and more helpful ways of managing them to be able to live a more meaningful and fulfilled life. My approach is non-judgmental and collaborative and I am passionate about helping you to reach your goals in therapy and beyond.

You may feel that in everyday life, you concentrate on everyone else, whilst your own needs are neglected. Counselling is about taking time for self-care, with support from someone who won't judge you or tell you what to do, but who will really hear you and help you explore to find your own answers. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, struggling with many issues and need support to help you carry it all, or are looking to focus on one thing which you want to change, but you're not sure how. Perhaps you wish to enhance your life and general wellbeing. Whatever your reasons for seeking support, I work together with you to meet your needs.

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.

If there is one thing that I have learned it is that we are all different in our own ways of being in the world. What brings us to therapy can be different for each individual. If you found yourself looking at my profile, you might be needing some support in your life right now perhaps to deal with specific issues or to gain a better understanding of yourself and increase your self-awareness. There may be things going on for you that you need to work out and you may feel you can’t share these thoughts or feelings with family or friends for fear of shame, embarrassment, or not being heard. With me, you will have that safe space

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!

I offer caring, non-judgmental counselling in a safe and confidential setting. You'll find a peaceful room where you can talk about your concerns and fears with a trusted professional. Counselling gives you a chance to explore what is happening and why, guiding you along a new path to self-recovery and resilience. I support individuals from the age of 16 years, who are experiencing a range of issues, such as anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, separation, low self-esteem, anger and bereavement. When life becomes difficult, we all need someone to talk to and that someone can’t always be a family member or a friend.

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.

Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves and grow numb, perhaps because we didn’t have the right environment growing up, or because things have happened in our lives and we have become stuck. Difficult things happen in our lives but when we feel isolated and alone with them these experiences can become traumatic. You may already have a sense of what you want from counselling, or you may just feel something's not right in your life. You may feel distressed, or you may simply want to be curious about who you are and who you hope to be. Even if you have a supportive circle, it may be easier to talk with an independent therapist.

Coming to counselling for the first time can be daunting and may take some courage. I would like to offer you a safe, confidential, non-judgemental, neutral space to work through difficult feelings, gain insights and help you move forward. It may be separation or loss that has brought you to this point. Perhaps you are suffering from depression, anxiety or relationship difficulties. It may be past traumas that are affecting you. It could be a vague sense of dissatisfaction and a search for a greater sense of meaning that is the source of your discomfort. Whatever the issue, counselling with a skilled counsellor can guide you through

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.

As a qualified Play Therapist I work with school aged children, providing a safe supportive non-judgmental space to facilitate child-led play, using a toolkit including a sand tray, musical instruments and creative art materials. Children can often express and explore their feelings through play more naturally than through language. Our sessions enable clients to work through a range of difficulties including conflicts with friends, difficulties at school, family changes or bereavement; to begin to recognise and regulate their emotions, reduce anxiety, build self-esteem and confidence to find their own resolutions and way forward.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
