​Who I work with
Many people seek out therapy when they are feeling low, anxious or persistently overwhelmed. They may be navigating challenges in a relationship, at work, within the family or facing a loss. Others come to therapy to figure out what is getting in the way of them living more fully and to address something from the past that continues to impact their present life. Some undertake therapy to help them with something else, for example, feeling stuck and unable to move on in life.
​​​​
​
How I work
My approach as a therapist is collaborative. I believe in fostering a trusting relationship where sensitive and troubling issues can be explored and understood. In my experience, therapy can help people make sense of their difficulties and uncover a renewed sense of agency to make desired changes in their lives.
​
​
Registration
I am registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC), and the Foundation for Psychotherapy and Counselling (FPC).
THERAPY
Among the many talk therapies available, I offer psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy and counselling. These therapies, rooted in the psychoanalytic tradition, invite people to talk about what is going on in their lives, reflect on their difficulties and relationships, what has happened before and how their past experiences might impact them in their present lives. ​
​​​​​​​​
The initial aim is to consider what brought the person to therapy and what could be helpful for them. Although unique to each individual, the therapeutic process commonly involves exploring troubling thoughts, feelings, experiences, relationships and possible repeating patterns. By looking beneath the surface and making connections, we can gradually develop an understanding of the different factors at play, increasing self-awareness and personal agency to make meaningful changes over time.
​​​​
Sessions
The therapy sessions last for 50 minutes and take place on the same day(s) and time(s) each week. The frequency of sessions depends on individual needs and can be weekly or more frequent, allowing for more in-depth therapy.
​
Initial consultation and ongoing sessions start at £65 per session.
​ ​
Location
My practice is in Lee, SE12, off the South Circular (A205) and easily accessible from Charing Cross, London Bridge, Blackheath, Bromley, Catford, Eltham, Forest Hill, Greenwich, Grove Park, Hither Green, Lewisham, and Woolwich.
​
My consulting room is light and spacious but has no step-free access. You can reach it by train to the nearest stations, Lee and Hither Green, which have direct routes to London Bridge, Charing Cross, Cannon Street, and stations in Kent.

How to Get Started
Finding a therapist you can imagine seeing regularly for some time is essential to get the most out of the experience. Since therapy can be a considerable investment of time and money, meeting with more than one therapist for a consultation can be helpful, for no one size fits all.
If you are interested in starting therapy with me, feel free to email me or use the contact form below to arrange an initial consultation. During the 50-minute appointment, we can discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, what you would like to gain, and whether we would like to meet again. ​​
​
Please know that I do not provide counselling or psychotherapy services through insurance companies, EAP schemes or telehealth platforms.
