About me and my therapy practice

If you're reading this, chances are that things feel really difficult right now. You might be feeling anxious or stuck, or struggling with shame or self-judgment. Maybe you're feeling out of step with the rest of the world, lost in emotions that feel overwhelming. You might be carrying a heavy burden or struggling with grief or loss. Maybe your relationships with others feel challenging. Do things feel punishing?

Sometimes even acknowledging that things feel difficult and that you want change can be daunting. Maybe you've done the hardest part already; let's do the rest together.

How I can support you:

I know that finding support can be overwhelming. My job is to put you at the very centre of our work together; to sit with you and welcome in the things that feel the most painful, frightening, or confronting.

I know from experience that this process can feel heavy, and you deserve someone who can meet you where you're at, who can listen with curiosity, unpick carefully, and even challenge, gently.

My Approach:

Our early experiences often leave echoes that last, and we get stuck in patterns and repeating cycles that no longer feel right. Together, we will gently tap into your experiences, exploring and honouring your past whilst working out 'what comes next?'.

My approach is focused on you. As an integrative counsellor, I tailor my method to your specific needs. I rely on different theories and skills, but at the forefront of that is my desire to connect with you and deeply understand how you move through the world. I see your potential for change and your capacity to know what feels right for you. Together, we can make things feel less punishing.

Get in touch:

If this feels like what you're seeking, please reach out. Send me an email, or you can call or text me at 07934 910675. I will respond within 24 hours so we can talk about our next steps.

Practice description

I work both online / over the phone, and face-to-face.

My in-person work is carried out at a safe, comfortable, air-conditioned, and private space in central Bromley, close to transport links and with plenty of parking around.

I'm experienced at both long and short-term work; together, we can explore what feels right for you.

I'm particularly passionate about supporting those who struggle with their self-esteem or sense of self - maybe you live with persistent guilt or anxiety, or feel less worthy? Let's explore that together. I'm also experienced at working with loss; alongside my private practice I volunteer at Cruse Bereavement Support, which gives me constant understanding of and insight into the painful world of grief.

My first session

I offer a free initial phone consultation prior to starting sessions together. This gives us a chance to talk over your needs and hopes for therapy, give you an insight into my approach, and allows us explore how we might work together. If we then decide to work together, we'll proceed to booking in our first session together, and I'll ask you to sign my contract. We'll start our first session by going through contracting - setting out the groundwork of how we might work together, including practicial details as well as safeguarding and confidentiality agreements. After this, we might gently begin exploring what's brought you to therapy, and what you're hoping to achieve. Most importantly, this first session is a space where we can slowly get to know each other and work towards building a sense of safety and security for you.
