Counselling in SE22
I work intergratively and collaboratively, that is to say I draw on different psychological therapies, including CBT, Narrative and Attachment ideas and techniques, depending on the challenges and stories brought into the therapy room by the client(s). I work within an overarching Systemic framework which pays special attention to supporting individuals, couples and families to find the strengths of their relationships so as to make disturbing symptoms less problematic. It is not just about problems however, Systemic therapy is built on a bedrock of hope, focusing on resilience and resourcefulness.

Allow me to introduce myself: I am a father, a son, a husband, a good friend, a counsellor and psychotherapist. People experience difficulties in all sorts of areas in their lives. These might be personal relationships, situations at work, problems at home, anxiety, low mood, ADHD, ASD, feeling stuck… You name it – I am sure you have yours! If these difficulties are getting on top of you or making you unhappy, it may be helpful to see a therapist.
We see a therapist not because we are ‘crazy’, or because there is something wrong with us. We simply seek the support of a professional, who is trained in how our brain works.

I am a Clinical Psychologist based in South London. I have worked in the NHS since 2013, and in my current role as a Clinical Psychologist since 2020. I work with clients experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, low mood, trauma and relationship difficulties.
In my work, I use an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach to provide a safe and containing therapeutic space. I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapies, including CBT, EMDR, and Schema Therapy, and like to draw on a range of therapeutic models to support each person’s individual needs. My style is compassionate and non-judgmental.

Work can be one of the most rewarding — and most stressful — parts of life. Challenges such as conflict, bullying, imposter feelings, or difficulties with work-life balance can take a real toll on wellbeing and confidence.
As an Organisational Psychologist and coach, I work with professionals to understand these challenges and create practical, evidence-based steps to manage stress, build resilience, and feel more in control at work. My approach combines psychological insight with coaching tools to help you strengthen communication, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with a sense of purpose.

Sometimes people seek therapy because of a specific problem, such as feeling anxious or depressed. Other times, it's due to a difficult life transition or a sense of being stuck in repeating patterns, feeling empty or unfulfilled. For others, there’s no clear reason, just a sense that something isn’t quite right, and an idea that therapy could perhaps help make sense of it. Exploring these feelings with another person can open doors to understanding and offer glimpses of different ways of being that may have been previously out of reach.

I work with clients on a range of issues, in particular relationship issues, anxiety, depression, abuse (childhood abuse, domestic abuse, sexual abuse, bullying), trauma, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem and self-worth, family issues and parenting. In addition to my private practice, I work as a student counsellor at a London university. I offer clients a safe, warm, empathic relationship where they can explore issues from the past, anxieties in the present and their concerns for the future.

If you have suffered trauma in your earlier life, or are having difficulty coping with day to day life, due to feelings of depression and or anxiety and want to explore what is underneath these problems and what may have contributed in the past to keeping them going and are keen to better understand the hidden parts of yourself then I feel I could be of help to you. If you feel that the very earliest relationships in your life, going right back to being an infant have been damaged in some way and have created barriers for you in forming new relationships, then I think we will have space and time to work together on these.

I am an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist offering both in person and online sessions. I have a particular interest in and experience with trauma and complex trauma.
Sometimes our own feelings don’t make sense to us and we behave in ways we don’t understand. Psychodynamic psychotherapy aims to explore feelings and behaviour that affect our mental wellbeing and our relationships with others, but remain mostly outside of our awareness.
Working towards a greater understanding of our feelings, behaviour and relationships can help us develop a better sense of identity and give us the freedom to lead a more fulfilling life.

I am an integrative existential psychotherapist offering a reflective and supportive space where together we can explore who you are, what matters to you, and how you make sense of the world – especially in times of difficulty or change. While my practice is grounded in existential and relational approaches, I also draw from other therapeutic disciplines where these may be helpful, depending on your needs and what you bring to therapy.

My clients struggle with fear, anxiety, stress, anger, sadness and/or a feeling of being 'stuck', alone or confused about who they are or what they want from life. This distress is often rooted in trauma, grief, work stress, relationship breakdown, poor health, a childhood of unmet needs, and/or identity crisis. Life is tough; we must navigate multiple relationships, search for meaning and purpose in our lives, balance responsibility with choice and freedom, and endure physical and emotional pain, loss and loneliness. My clients want to be heard, accepted and understood. They want to find inner peace and to heal from their pain

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

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.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online 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.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
