I see clients in person at The Little Escape in Crystal Palace on Thursday evenings and Friday mornings.

I also see clients via Zoom on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

I am a neuro-affirmative therapist with experience of working with ASD (autism spectrum disorder/condition), ADHD and OCD. I also have a history of experience with these conditions within my close family.

I trained at The Minster Centre and CPPD Counselling School from which I have an Advanced Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling.

London inspires me with its diverse mix of people and cultures, and I am a proud native. I have lived/worked in different parts of the UK and worked extensively abroad which has given me a deep interest and appreciation of other cultures and ways of living. Cities can be stressful though and I need the healing effects of nature in the parks of SE London and beyond in the countryside.

Being a psychotherapist is a third career for me after working in theatre and performance, and a subsequent career as a teacher and lecturer of the performing arts.

As an integrative therapist, I  follow one modality of therapy, but have my own integration of modalities that chime with me and my clients.

I create a warm, supportive environment in which clients feel safe. 

Research into the effectiveness of different therapeutic approaches stresses the importance of the relationship between client and therapist. 

In our relationship, I will give you focused attention to help, support, and challenge you.  I will be present with you in away that AI can't.

First sessions are for you to see if you want to work with me and vice versa. I will ask more questions than is usual for me in sessions to gain information from you and gain an understanding of how best I can work with you.

I encourage clients to ask questions in all sessions and the first session is of course a good place for this to start.
