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
It is not uncommon for individuals seeking therapy to be self-aware yet find themselves repeating unconscious patterns that create new challenges. Some may have considered therapy for a while, unsure whether speaking with someone other than friends or family could be beneficial. Others might have undertaken brief counselling and are now pursuing more in-depth psychotherapy as their lives have settled, allowing for deeper reflection.
Therapy can enhance understanding of complex emotions, worries, fears, relationship issues, and other current challenges rooted in past. Therapy can also promote a renewed sense of agency, empowering individuals to face their difficulties and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Who I work with
I work in person with people from across London and online nationwide and internationally, often with creative, thoughtful, and frequently sensitive individuals from diverse backgrounds interested in better understanding their difficulties and themselves.
How I work
I aim to foster a collaborative and respectful therapeutic relationship with my clients that facilitates thoughtful exploration of personal issues over time.
I aim to listen attentively and communicate mindfully to enable reflection on the issues, challenges and other thoughts and feelings that led the individual to my practice.
Sessions
Each session lasts 50 minutes and takes place at the same time each week. Sessions can be weekly or more frequently, up to three times a week.
If you wish to increase the frequency during your therapy, we can discuss this option, though suitable availability cannot be guaranteed.
Fees
Fees start at £70 per session.
How to Get Started
Please email me or use the contact form below to send an enquiry. I aim to respond within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.
Initial Appointment
The initial appointment allows us to discuss the concerns that led you to contact me and to consider working together. The fee is £70.
Depending on your needs, we may meet two or more times before deciding how to proceed. These meetings help you experience my approach and get a sense of what it would be like to work together.
If you would like to speak before scheduling an appointment, I am happy to offer a 15 to 20-minute telephone conversation.
...........
Although I work with qualified clinicians, I do not provide therapy to trainees in clinical psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy.
I do not provide therapy or consultancy through insurance companies, Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), or therapy subscription platforms.
