Why therapy?

Because you’re looking for change.

Therapy is more than solving surface problems. It’s about tackling the deeper causes that undermine your confidence, sense of self, and relationships.

Self-worth – You might have a persistent sense of not being good enough. Perhaps you hold yourself to punishing standards and constantly compare yourself to others. The inner critic can be deafening, and it may feel easier attend to others than to yourself.

Identity – You’re unsure about who you are beneath the relentless role you play – the compliant helper, the supposed high-achiever, the one who holds it all together. You may have learned to push your instincts aside, disconnected from what you need or from who you truly are.

Relationships – You find that relating (with partners, children, parents, colleagues) leaves you with suppressed anger, feeling unheard, or depleted. It might be hard to trust, or you repeat old patterns like people-pleasing or relinquishing power to others.

Whether it has a name or not, whatever you’re carrying, therapy provides a space within which to express, process, and heal.

About me

I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I adhere to their Ethical Framework and Professional Conduct Procedure.

My training was in Integrative Counselling at CPPD and Regents University in London, and I have a BSc from the LSE. I was previously a counsellor at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and at Face2Face London.

Fees

My guideline fee is £75 per session.

Depending on my caseload, I may be able to offer a reduction if you are on a low income. Clients in a position to pay a higher fee are invited to do so, to help make therapy more accessible to others.

There is no requirement to commit to a particular number of sessions.

Availability

My hours are 10am-3pm Monday to Friday, plus 7pm-10pm Mondays. Please contact me for my current availability.

My approach

I provide a contained and confidential space for you to explore difficult thoughts and feelings, listening carefully and without judgment to help you gain a new understanding of yourself or your situation. I offer interpretation and alternative ways of thinking, to the extent that you’re comfortable with.

I use three broad approaches to psychotherapy:

Psychodynamic – We’ll explore how your past experiences and relationships inform your present feelings and actions. By understanding these causes and effects, you’ll navigate current challenges with greater consciousness and insight.

Trauma-informed – I provide a safe, understanding space to talk about early adverse experiences. We’ll go at your pace, helping you feel more grounded and able to remain safely in the present.

Existential – We can think together about deeper questions, such as what gives you a reason to live, how to find gratitude even in adversity, and what it means for you to be alive.

We’ll meet in-person, long or short term, usually weekly. I may be able to offer occasional online sessions if required.
