About me
I am a qualified and experienced counsellor, and a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
​
For over nine years, I have worked with adults and young people, supporting them through difficult and painful periods in their lives. Some people come to counselling because they are struggling with something happening now, while others want to explore deeper issues from the past, such as childhood experiences, family difficulties, loss or trauma.
What I can help with
People come to counselling for many different reasons. I work with adults and young people who may be feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, angry, low in confidence, or affected by loss, trauma, family difficulties, relationship problems, self-harm or suicidal thoughts.
​
You may know exactly what you want help with, or you may simply feel that something is not right. Either is a good enough starting point.
​
I also have experience supporting young people with issues such as bullying, exam stress, school difficulties, anger, eating problems, self-harm, sleep problems and suicidal feelings.
​
Whatever brings you to counselling, we can think together about what is happening for you and what might help.
How I work
No two people are the same, so I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I work alongside each client to find the most helpful way forward, at a pace that feels manageable for them.
​
I offer a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can talk openly about what you are experiencing. My role is not to judge you or tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, your feelings, your relationships and the patterns that may be affecting your life.
​
I offer sessions from my home in South West London, SW14, and also online if meeting face-to-face is difficult for you.
​
I work with adults and young people from age 11 upwards. Sessions are £70, with some concessions available.
Getting started
If you would like to find out more, I offer a free telephone consultation. This gives you the chance to ask any questions, get a clearer sense of how we might work together, and decide whether counselling with me feels right for you.

Why try counselling?
Counselling offers a safe and confidential space to talk to a trained professional about what is troubling you.
​
It can help you explore your thoughts, feelings and behaviours, develop a better understanding of yourself, and find new ways of coping with the difficulties you are facing.
​
As a counsellor, I will not give you advice, tell you what to do or prescribe medication. Instead, I will help you explore your own thoughts and feelings, so that you can find your own way forward — whether that means making changes in your life, improving your relationships, or finding ways to cope with painful experiences.
