In person session available on Tuesdays  at https://maps.app.goo.gl/rukRKm8ZtWys9nhD9?g_st=ic 

Online sessions available Wednesday to Friday on Zoom. 

I am a Gestalt counsellor and transpersonal couples psychotherapist with a particular expertise in working with people with unhelpful dependencies, addictions or coping strategies. 

If you have experienced trauma, a loss or major change in your life, it can impact on your ability to live a happy and useful life. I support individuals to work through these challenges to better understand themselves, improving their resilience and finding a way to let go of what no longer serves them. 

I offer a safe and welcoming space without judgement where you can arrive as you are and allow yourself to connect with your feelings and thoughts that might be difficult for you to discuss or experience alone or in your existing relationships. 

I also work with couples who are struggling to resolve their differences on their own, sometimes as a result of infidelity, perceived betrayal or lack of trust. I provide a safe and neutral space for the issues in the relationship to be explored and worked through together. 

Over the years I have worked with people from different cultures, faiths, ages, genders, sexual orientations and stages of life and I enjoy that diversity in my practice. I also have experience of working with clients with mental health diagnoses and neurodivergent people. 

I am currently working in person in a relaxing space in E1 in East London. I also offer online sessions on Zoom. 

Sessions are usually weekly and last 50 minutes. I work both short-term with a specific focus and longer-term where there is more to explore. This is something we would agree on together based on what you need and this can change during our work together. 

Some clients enjoy more open  exploratory approach while others need a bit more structure. We shape the work around what works best for you and can adapt and change as we progress. 

I use somatic and mindfulness based approaches when appropriate, so we don't just talk about what you are feeling but use present moment awareness to pay attention to how it shows up in the body, allowing you to experience and process it.

I try to be as flexible as possible with my clients, allowing sessions to be moved when necessary and ask for 48 hours notice of any cancellations. 

I offer a free 15 minute Zoom or phone call to check if we are a good fit and to arrange the best day and time to meet.

After that, the first session usually involves some questions so I can get to know you and understand why you are coming to therapy and most importantly what you want to get out of it. 

Once we agree how we are going to work together, I will give you a therapeutic agreement which outlines my holiday and cancellation policy and how and when we will end the therapy.

I offer individual supervision to qualified counsellors and psychotherapists as well as to trainees. 

I offer a relational approach, helping you to explore your own style of working and your client material with curiosity and awareness.

I can also support trainees while getting the experience they need to complete their training hours and to develop a practice of their own. 

Having gained Â鶹ԭ´´ Accreditation as a Counsellor/Psychotherapist, I can help support others through that process also. 

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited Gestalt Counsellor and Transpersonal Couples Psychotherapist with over 12 years of private practice experience. 

I have worked with a very diverse client group over the years which has given me the experience to help supervisees with whatever might arise with their client group.

I enjoy supporting counsellors and therapists to explore their own style of working and how best to support their clients. 

I offer a free 15 minute Zoom or phone call to check if we are suited to working together and to arrange the best day and time.

I usually work fortnightly with supervisees but this can be flexible depending on the size of the client group that you are working with.
