I work both long term and short term with individuals and couples.
People approach counselling for many different reasons. Sometimes it is just to get clear about a past experience or to change a habit.
At times in life you may identify a part, or parts of life, where you feel stuck.
I offer an impartial ear and a collaborative space for you to find the clarity or resolve you may be seeking.
The process of talking therapy and self understanding can be empowering.
I offer a space to explore and change the internal dialogue we sometimes have with ourselves from one that is negative and self critical, to one that is based upon
self respect.
I have been practicing mindfulness, awareness and equanimity techniques for over 20 years.
Previous clinical posts include:
- Clinical Operations Manager for a London based counselling organisation that provides in-the-moment counselling, managerial advice, clinical assessment,
and trauma support to company employees globally.
- Counsellor to students at a London based university
I am a published author, educational culture and arts based book for Rosen Publishing NYC and have lectured and mentored at universities in London and Hong Kong.
I have lived and worked in the UK and North America. My previous career was in the arts and media industries; working for corporations and publications worldwide.
I am fully insured.
I abide by the ethical framework of
the BACP, UKCP, IARTA and UKATA
I hold a Post Grad Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling and am currently at the dissertation stage for a Masters in Science and
Internationally recognised Certified Transactional Analyst accreditation awarded by Metanoia Institute and EATA

I incorporate a number of different modalities into the way I work and have a particular interest in Relational Transactional Analysis, Attachment Theory, Neuro Science and Mindfulness.
Sessions for individuals and couples are generally on a weekly basis.
Each session is 50 minutes long.
I suggest we work together for a minimum of 6 sessions in order to build the working alliance and decide from that time on how we work together ongoing. I offer a brief focused approach; which is suitable for working on a number of life situations which you may want to explore/change. And I also offer long term counselling options which suit when a client wants to explore their past and relationships in more depth.
I regularly discuss my work with my clinical supervisor. This is standard practice in my field and safeguards both you and I. My supervisor is bound by the same code of ethics which I adhere to.
About Counselling
Counselling, Mindfulness
Currently, due to the pandemic,
in order to safeguard myself and clients,
I am offering either Video or Telephone sessions.
I usually suggest a free phone or video consultation where we discuss your needs in depth and discuss the way I work. I complete a clinical assessment during the consultation which will help identify the most supportive and suitable approach for you.
COUPLES COUNSELLING
For Couples my goal is to create a space for both partners to share their thoughts in a safe, respectful and trusting environment.
The basis for a strong and enduring relationship is one of
mutual love, trust and respect.
I believe that this can be achieved where there is intent to make the relationship work.
However stuck we may feel currently, with a new form of communication, there can be resolve when both partners truly want it.
We use the sessions to get your perspectives clearly heard and we will look at what gets in the way of intimacy.
I will offer techniques that can help you keep your relationship close and or revive the closeness which may have been lost,
while giving each other space for individual growth
and honouring your true individual selves.
Together we can work on :
- Depression
- Self critical thinking
- Anxiety
- Panic attacks
- Trauma
- Relational Trauma
- Stress management
- Obsessive thinking
- Low Mood
- Loss of motivation
- Sense of feeling overwhelmed
- Worrying
- Bullying
- Creativity
- Career goals
- Reconciliation
- Relationships
- Intimacy
- Communication
- Bereavement
- Anger
- Fear
- Frustration
- Self Esteem
- Self image
- Confidence
- Cultural difference
- Relocation
- Moving Countries. Expat Life
- Sleep Problems
- What your dreams may mean
- Self Compassion
Depression, fear, anger and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can
experience at some point in our lives.
Through counselling,
we can focus on reaching the clarity you are seeking by offering a space to process emotions and past situations that may be in the way of your moving forward in your life in a positive direction.
Group Counselling
By working within a Group Counselling setting we can gain a deep understanding of ourselves in relation to the world around us.
