Taking new clients.

Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step. You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck in patterns that are difficult to change, or carrying the impact of past experiences or trauma that continue to affect your life. Whatever has brought you here, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can feel accepted, understood and supported.

I am a ÌÇÐĹÙÍø Accredited Integrative Counsellor, working with adults and young people, offering therapy both online and in South Wimbledon. I believe that healing happens within a safe therapeutic relationship, where you feel supported to explore both your challenges and your strengths. Every person is unique, which is why I tailor therapy to your individual needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

I work from a trauma-informed perspective, recognising how past experiences can influence the way we think, feel, relate to others and experience ourselves. Drawing on psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and mindfulness-based approaches, we will explore not only your current difficulties but also the emotions, relationships and experiences that may be shaping your life today.

Alongside talking therapy, I may integrate body-based approaches such as Brainspotting, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping) where appropriate. These approaches can be particularly helpful in working with trauma, anxiety and emotional patterns that may be difficult to shift through talking alone, supporting emotional processing and nervous system regulation.

Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, trauma, ADHD, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or simply feeling that something isn't quite right, we will work collaboratively and at a pace that feels right for you. My aim is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, build resilience and move forward with greater confidence, emotional wellbeing and hope.

Therapy is not about being given advice or told what to do. It is a collaborative process where we work together to understand what may be contributing to your difficulties and explore new ways of responding to them.

Sessions last 50 minutes and usually take place weekly, either online or in person in South Wimbledon. During our work together, we will move at a pace that feels right for you. Some people come with a specific issue they want to resolve, while others are looking to understand themselves more deeply. Both are equally welcome.

My approach combines thoughtful exploration with practical strategies where helpful. Alongside talking therapy, I may draw on approaches such as Brainspotting, Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT Tapping) when appropriate. These can help process experiences that may feel difficult to access through words alone and support emotional regulation.

I believe lasting change comes from understanding not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences may continue to influence your thoughts, emotions, relationships and sense of self. Together, we will work towards helping you feel more connected to yourself, more confident in managing life's challenges, and better able to make the changes that matter to you.

Whether your goal is to reduce anxiety, process trauma, improve relationships, build self-esteem or simply feel more like yourself again, my role is to support and guide you with warmth, curiosity and compassion throughout the process.

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what has brought you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, what you hope to achieve, and any relevant background that will help me understand your experiences. There is no expectation for you to share everything at once, we will go at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

This session is also an opportunity for you to experience how I work and decide whether I feel like the right therapist for you. Finding someone you feel comfortable with is an important part of the therapeutic process, and there is no obligation to continue after our initial meeting.

I will explain how therapy works, answer any questions you may have, and discuss practical aspects such as confidentiality, session frequency and how we might work together. If appropriate, we may also begin identifying some initial goals for therapy.

Many people feel nervous before their first appointment, especially if they have never had therapy before. That is completely understandable, and you do not need to prepare anything in advance. You are welcome to come exactly as you are.

If we decide to continue working together, sessions are usually held weekly and last 50 minutes.
