I currently see clients:

- face-to-face on Monday mornings and lunch times in Hastings, East Sussex

- Online via Zoom on Monday afternoons, Tuesday afternoon & evening and Wednesday afternoons 

- face-to-face on Thursday all day in Chancery Lane, London 

I am a psychotherapist and counsellor working online and in person in both central London (WC1V) & Hastings (TN34), offering both short-term & open-ended therapy. 

My approach: I am an integrative, relational therapist. I believe that every client is unique, and so I adapt my approach to suit your individual needs.I focus on creating a safe, empathic, non-judgemental space in which you feel heard and accepted, and therefore able to stay with and explore things, at a deeper level than you may have felt able to previously. 

The core of my training is person-centred. This means that I see the client as the expert of their own world, and that I believe they contain an inner ability to change and grow. My aim is to empower and motivate you to make the changes you wish to make in life. I am also particularly influenced by psychoanalysis, self-psychology and attachment theory (all of which look at how our early experiences and relationships shape the adults we become).

Working relationally means that I will often be thinking about our relationship; that between therapist and client, and what is going on in the here-and-now. This way of working can shed light on the role relationships play in how we experience daily life, and help us to better understand patterns appearing in our thoughts, feelings and behaviour towards ourselves. 

Training & Qualifications:

​MA in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy - University of Roehampton.

Registered Member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ (British Association of Counselling & Psychotherapy), and I abide by their ethical framework.

Training in Adult ADHD & Anxiety

Training in working with Shame

Areas of special interest:  

I have a unique understanding of ADHD/ASD spectrum disorders, with my own childhood diagnosis of ADHD and adult ASD diagnosis, and my clinical experience working with many neurodivergent adults. I am also a musician and writer, and have a special interest in working with creatives and those in the arts.

First steps: 

Finding the right therapist, and sifting through online profiles, can be a daunting and overwhelming task. To get started I offer a free 10-15 initial consultation call, so we can get a sense of each other, and have a chat about why you are currently seeking therapy. To arrange this call please email me or text/leave a voicemail on 07445 298 284.

If after our initial call you are interested in working together, the next step would be to meet for a 50-minute initial assessment, which would be a charged appointment.

The initial assessment is an opportunity for us to discuss in more detail what you would like to work on in therapy. It is also a mutual assessment of whether we feel we can work together, and whether or not you feel I am the right therapist for you.

If we decide to continue working together after assessment, we will agree on a set number of contracted sessions (usually between 6 to 12), which will take place at the same time and location each week. After this our contract may become open-ended.

Fees: 

I offer a free 10-15 minute phone consultation for any potential client.

For London & online clients I charge £70 for an initial assessment session, and £90 for all further sessions.

For Hastings clients I charge £50 for an initial assessment session, and £70 for all further sessions.

All sessions are 50 minutes, and take place on a weekly basis.

If you are on a low-income please mention this when getting in touch, as I have some limited concessionary session rates available.
