About me

I offer integrative therapy in person in Tooting Bec, Southwest London.

I am a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist and registered member of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) and UKCP (UK Council for Psychotherapy). I also offer EMDR.

I see adult individual patients on both a long or short-term basis. Patients have come to see me for help with a variety of issues including:

Anxiety
Bereavement
Depression
Fertility issues
Panic attacks
Relationship issues
Shame and low self-esteem
Stress
Trauma

My intention is to provide a therapy space in which you feel safe and supported. I feel a trusting relationship between patient and therapist is vital. I also believe that therapy can provide a place for you to explore your concerns at your pace, in confidence, and be listened to fully, which often doesn't happen in our daily lives. By listened to fully, I mean without judgement or disruption. Together, we can gain understanding to help you. Therapy is a two-way process, and I work in a collaborative and enabling way. My role isn't to tell you what to do; I may gently challenge you, or offer insights or observations, but without being authoritative.

As an integrative therapist, I work in the way that is most suitable to you. I will draw on a number of established counselling and therapeutic approaches depending on your needs, including psychodynamic, humanistic and relational methods. I don't have a fixed or predetermined way of working therefore, as everyone is different and what helps one person may not suit you. We may explore behaviours, beliefs, feelings or habits that are concerning you, which may involve looking at past or present relationships or how past relationships affect you now.

I work holistically, which may include exploring thoughts, emotions and bodily feelings, as our physical sensations can help us understand what is going on for us. I also may suggest creative tools such as drawing or writing, or visualisation. How we work will be agreed between us.
