About me and my therapy practice
I am a qualified Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ registered person-centred therapist offering therapy both online and in person in West and Central London.My work is underpinned by the values set out by Carl Rogers in his Theory of Person-Centred Therapy; Rogers was the first to articulate the idea that a therapist’s only job is to understand as accurately as possible what it is like to walk in the client’s footsteps, however frightening or wearying that path may be. Only when a client can feel and experience that total understanding from a therapist and feel completely safe can they allow themselves the freedom to think or say what might have been unthinkable or unsayable and, in that loosening, a new way forward can be found.
I therefore commit to offering you the understanding Rogers described to the best of my ability. This means I will not ‘diagnose’ what is ‘wrong’ with you or use ‘techniques’ on you; instead we will explore together, as equals, what you might be facing and work towards finding a way forward that feels comfortable for you.
Practice description
I am often asked what areas I specialise in. My answer is that I am hoping to help you manage your response to whatever you might be experiencing. I have helped clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, bereavement, chronic illness, issues around food, ageing and menopause, relationship difficulties, professional dilemmas, environmental anxiety and parenting worries amongst many other concerns. I also welcome clients who are interested in exploring themselves in greater depth from a place of curiosity rather than crisis. I am deeply committed to engaging respectfully with you on all issues of identity, race, gender, sexuality, age, disability and neurodiversity and to being as accessible and present as possible.My first session
I offer an initiaI half hour consultation on-line for free. I welcome the chance to talk through with you what you might want or expect from therapy and to explain how I work. This can be a great opportunity to help you decide whether you feel I am on the same wavelength as you.
