What I can offer you:

My aim is to help you reach a more satisfying way of living by confronting and addressing issues and obstacles. I will work with you to achieve a deeper understanding of the problem, why it is so, how you currently are in the world and with the people in your life - and how you want life to be.  

Therapy sessions can at times feel challenging as we explore your issue but it is always respectful and at a pace that feels comfortable to you. I am principally informed by an existential and philosophical approach to counselling psychology but am also trained in the other main approaches used today aspects of which I draw upon when appropriate. This means that we can work from a broad perspective and tailor the work to what is most suitable for you.  

As a research focus for me as well as in my role as practitioner, I have specialist knowledge of working with people seeking to develop a more accepting and affirming relationship with their sexuality and sense of self. I also have a particular interest in the impact of shame, including addressing issues of self-esteem and how this can manifest in a variety of ways - including problem behaviours (for example, with food, alcohol, recreational drugs, and sex). 


 

Some of the issues that can be addressed:

  • relationship difficulties, anger management, self-esteem, bereavement, anxiety, addictions, depression, phobia, stress, major illness diagnosis, trauma and abuse (emotional, physical and sexual). 

Types of therapy offered:

  • Face to face sessions at my consulting rooms at London Bridge
  • Online 
  • Telephone
