How I Work

I am trained in an integrative relational approach which means my main focus is on developing a warm and therapeutic relationship with my clients. I draw on elements of humanistic and psychodynamic theory and I also use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), where this is helpful.  

Meeting the client’s needs is at the heart of my work, and I will use our initial session to establish your goals and aims for counselling.

I offer face to face sessions at my practice in Tolworth or online sessions via Zoom.

How I Can Help

Counselling helps by giving you a space to articulate your feelings and thoughts. This helps you to process whatever has been troubling you; a difficult experience or relationship, or dealing with difficult emotions. It can also help you to see how the past is affecting you in the present and find ways to help you in the future.

I am trained to help you through this process and will work with you to find ways to help you feel better.  Whether you are feeling low or stressed, or whether you simply want to understand yourself better, I can support you to explore your feelings and difficulties so that you can gain some clarity, and make positive changes.
