Hello and thank you for visiting my website.


I aim to provide a warm, safe space for you to explore whatever is troubling you, using whatever approaches or techniques are best suited to the issue you are bringing to therapy and your personal preferences.  


I am a qualified integrative counsellor and psychotherapist and a member of the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists. I work with adults, young people and children. I see clients at the Little Escape in Crystal Palace, as a therapist in a local primary school and through my work for Cruse Bereavement in Lambeth.

How I work 

Adults

I offer a complimentary 15 minute telephone consultation. This provides you with an opportunity to see if we might be a good fit for working together. The counselling relationship is the most significant element of therapy and getting it right will be more likely to lead to positive outcomes for clients. We can also look at the support I offer and whether I am best placed to meet your needs.

If you decide that you would like to work with me, I then send you a registration form to complete, along with terms and conditions. There is an expectation that we see each other every week, at the same time on the same day, until you decide that our work together is complete. 

My work with adults is usually based on talking, but there are opportunities to work together creatively if that is something you would like to do. The techniques we decide to use will depend upon your preferences and goals and we will include regular reviews to ensure that the work is helpful and targeted.




Children and Young People

The initial call is with parents as above.

There is then an initial session with the child or young person accompanied by their parent or guardian if age appropriate/consented to. This provides your child with the opportunity to feel safe and experience the process so that they can then think about whether they would like to continue and give informed consent to do so.


If your child decides that they would like to work with me, the work will be approached using creative tools, as this is my preferred way of working with children and young people. 


I have regular clinical supervision with suitably trained and qualified supervisors in line with BACP and UKCP guidelines.

Client Testimonials 

A has visibly made remarkable strides in a short space of time and I know he enjoyed the sessions.”
———-

“I understand that I  have to go through my bereavement myself but the sessions were very helpful and I felt supported at a very dark time in my life. I appreciate this and I am thankful. Now I am in a better place to go on and build a different life for myself.”

B engaged very well with the service and looked forward to each session. Although he did not want the sessions to come to an end it was appropriately ended with him having notice and being prepared for his last session.

B’s attitude, behaviour and mindset has greatly improved because of the service. As a mother, I have noticed a huge difference in him as he now articulates how he is feeling instead of displaying emotional meltdowns.  This has had a positive effect also on his education as since engaging with the service he has not been sent out of class because of his meltdowns.

I am truly grateful for this service as it has had a significant impact on my sons life and our family for the better
