My practice
I provide a dedicated space to explore your life and concerns. I encourage curiosity and self-reflection to deepen your understanding of relational patterns, personal challenges and the connections between past experiences and your current life.
Who I work with
I work with adults and young adults from varied professional and cultural backgrounds who seek to understand their difficulties, experiences, relationships, and often desire change.
My clients tend to be thoughtful, creative, sensitive and high-achieving individuals. Some have prior therapy experience, while others are new to the process.
While I work with qualified health care providers, I do not offer ‘training therapy’ for clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy trainees. I also do not provide therapy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
How I work
I see clients in person in SE12, and also provide online therapy nationwide and internationally.
My approach focuses on careful listening and mindful communication, helping you notice and explore the thoughts, feelings, concerns and experiences that brought you to therapy.
I aim to foster a respectful, collaborative relationship that encourages reflection and supports new insights and deeper understanding.
Sessions
Sessions last 50 minutes and are scheduled at the same time each week.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session or initial appointment.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment provides an opportunity to meet, discuss your reasons for seeking help and your hopes for therapy, and consider working together.
We can discuss session frequency (weekly or more often), timeframe (open-ended or time-limited), and address any questions you may have about my process.
We may meet more than once before deciding on next steps, allowing you to experience my approach and helping us both envision collaboration.
