My approach

​

I offer counselling and psychotherapy face-to-face at London Bridge on Thursday afternoons and evenings, and at other times online to young adults, adults, and professionals.

 

Clients come to me experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, high workloads, client demands, relationship problems, problems seeking support, perfectionism, critical thoughts, not being able to set boundaries, feeling stuck, low self-esteem, and trauma.

​

We will talk about whatever you wish to bring at your own pace and in your own time, the emphasis is on you and what you are experiencing.

 

I will provide an empathic ear, I will listen to you and we will begin to build a working relationship together that helps you think and understand yourself better.

​

My style of counselling and psychotherapy is psychodynamic: this might involve exploring past history and patterns of relating, as I feel that our childhood experiences affect our current experiences, and expectations of relationships and situations in ways that we are not fully aware of. 

 

Getting started

​

In our first consultation we will discuss what has led you to seek counselling and psychotherapy and I will start to get to you know. I generally invite clients to think about whether they would like to work with me over the first couple of consultations, as I would do too.

 

We would then agree a fixed time to meet on a weekly basis if you'd like to work together that you can commit to on an ongoing and regular basis, as this helps build trust and an experience of reliability.

 

Cancellations and ending

​

As the therapy space is held for you regularly any missed or cancelled sessions would still need to be paid for at the full applicable rate.

 

Although work is open-ended you are free to end therapy when you wish, though I would encourage you to discuss with me any difficulties that might be arising for you before you do so. Ideally I would ask for at least 2 weeks notice or more depending on how long you have been having counselling, so we can work towards the experience of a 'good ending' of the counselling for you together.
