A reflective space to make sense of your inner world
Our lives are shaped by many interconnected parts: our early years, past and present relationships, work, families and the responsibilities we carry. Sometimes we can see how these experiences affect us today. At other times, their influence may sit outside our conscious awareness, yet still quietly shape how we think, feel and respond.
Making sense of it all can take time. And even with people who care about us, it can be hard to say what we really feel. I offer a space where you can feel heard, without judgement or an agenda for what you should do next. There’s room to slow down, say what’s on your mind and explore what matters to you.
What might bring you here?
I work with adults experiencing:
Anxiety
Low mood or depression
Loss, grief and bereavement
Stress, overwhelm or burnout
Relationship difficulties
Challenges in parenthood or motherhood
Change or life transitions
Work-related challenges
You may recognise your own experience in some of the above, or simply feel that something isn’t right without yet having the words to explain it. Either way, you’re welcome to get in touch. We can begin wherever you are.
An inclusive practice
I work with adults of all backgrounds and life experiences. Together, we can explore what’s troubling you and what matters to you.
Let’s have an initial chat to see if working together feels right, with no pressure to commit.
An approach shaped around you
As a qualified integrative psychotherapist, I draw on different therapeutic approaches (including person-centred, psychodynamic and contemporary CBT approaches) to shape our work around your needs. You may want to explore painful experiences and begin to heal, or get to know yourself more honestly and fully, gaining clarity on what matters most and how you want to show up in the world. Perhaps you’re finding your way through a significant life change.
Whatever brings you here, we’ll find an approach and pace that feel right for you.
Taking the first step
Step ONE: An introductory chat
We can begin with a complimentary 15-minute chat to explore what brings you here, answer any questions and see whether working together feels like a good fit.
There’s no pressure to commit. Take your time to reflect, and get back in touch if you’d like to book an initial session.
If I feel I’m not the right therapist for you, we can discuss other sources of support.
Step TWO: Our initial session
If we both feel comfortable moving forward, we’ll book an initial session at a discounted rate.
We’ll explore what’s brought you to therapy, what you’re experiencing and your hopes for what you’d like to be different. Together, we’ll begin to plan a way forward.
Step THREE: Working together
If you’d like to continue and can commit to regular sessions, we’ll agree to meet weekly for an initial six weeks.
Many clients choose to continue longer term to work through the deeper issues behind their symptoms. However, we’ll regularly review our work together to make sure it continues to meet your needs.
I’d love to hear from you, and I really do understand how daunting that first step can sometimes feel. Whenever the time feels right for you, I’m here to talk.
How Psychotherapy Works - FAQs
How long is each session?
Each session is 50 minutes.
Weekly sessions will take place on the same day and time. This consistency can help, particularly in the early days of us working together.
Who are your clients?
I work with adults (over 18) only and welcome clients of all identities, backgrounds and walks of life. I support people who are looking to deepen their self-awareness or make meaningful changes in their lives, whatever their goal(s) for therapy may be.
How long does therapy last?
I work on both a short term or longer term (open-ended) basis. I would suggest that we commit to a minimum of 6 weeks initially. I will regularly review with you how we can best work to support your needs.
What are your therapy fees?
Individual online therapy and walk and talk therapy sessions are £100*. In-person sessions in a therapy room start at £125*.
I have a limited number of concession therapy slots available, please ask for further details.
*Please note that these fees relate solely to therapy services. Executive coaching support would be treated as a separate service, with fees agreed on a bespoke basis according to the scope, format, and duration of the work, and in line with London market rates.
Where can we meet?
I mainly work virtually, offering online sessions via Zoom.
I also have occasional in-person availability in therapy rooms near London Bridge and Buckhurst Hill.
Depending on your location and availability, I offer walk and talk sessions. Walking side by side offers the chance to combine movement, fresh air, and reflection as we explore your thoughts in a different setting.
Are you the right therapist for me?
The quality of the relationship with your therapist is at the heart of success in therapy. For this reason it is important for you to feel completely comfortable with the therapist you select. It is not unusual to meet with a number of therapists to find the right one for you.
For this reason I offer a discounted rate of £60* for our initial session before we commit to working together.
Get in touch
If you’re curious about working together, please get in touch and we can arrange a brief complimentary 15 minute chat to consider how I might be able to support you and answer any questions you have. There’s no pressure to commit during our call, in fact I’d encourage you to reflect before deciding.
Also, if I feel I’m not the right person to support you on your journey, I will discuss this with you and will be able to signpost you to other support.
If it feels right for both of us, we can book an initial session and take it from there.
You’re welcome to get in touch in whichever way feels most comfortable - by email, text or the form below. I reply outside my client sessions and aim to get back to you within 24 hours whenever possible.
