Psychotherapy can provide a welcome break from your everyday life
It is your time to explore how you personally relate to those around you and to the situations that you face. Therapy provides the space to share your inner anxieties and fears as well as your hopes and desires.
How I work
I offer a positive and supportive environment so you can share your innermost thoughts and feelings in a confidential setting. By exploring what is really going on for you, it may be
possible to become more aware of your choices and possibilities and to
gain some clarity about where you are in your life. Through
self-knowledge it is possible to make better decisions about how you live with your past and plan for your future. With a training in integrative psychotherapy, I aim to be a co-explorer with you so we can work together on this common purpose.
Sessions for psychotherapy and counselling start from £70. Fees are reviewed at the beginning of the year. Charges for coaching are individually negotiated. For fees for couples counselling, add £15 to the standard rate. If someone else is paying for your sessions (for example, through an insurance company or through a work scheme) the cost is £100. I currently accept referrals from the following insurance companies: AXA, Aviva, and Vitality Health.
So what is therapy like with me? My approach
is based on our shared attempt to understand your situation better.
While it is true that you will do most of the talking, I believe that
'we're in it together'. We may both discover new meaning through our
discussions. I aim to support you in this exploration but it is only
fair to point out that therapy can be challenging too.
I
see people for 50-minute sessions, normally weekly, on either a
short-term or an ongoing basis. We can talk this through together when
we meet in our first session. Our first meeting gives us both the
opportunity to talk through how we might work together.

Since the pandemic, all sessions take place online.
My practice rooms were based in Crystal Palace, South London
(nearest stations: Gipsy Hill and Crystal Palace, SE19) which is very easy to get to and within minutes of public transport links. I also worked in central London at Regent's Park and Regent Street.
