About me and my therapy practice
Finding the right therapist for one's individual needs can feel daunting, especially when already going through challenging times.
Whether you are seeking support for a specific issue or simply a space to process difficult emotions, my primary aim is to provide a compassionate and confidential environment where you feel safe to explore anything on your mind, no matter how big or small. I believe that building a trusting relationship, where you feel truly seen and heard without judgment or prejudice, is the key to fostering meaningful change, whether in short-term or long-term therapy.
My experience includes supporting clients through a variety of mental health difficulties, including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, guilt & shame, low self-esteem, and issues related to work, career, family, and relationships. I have also volunteered for a crisis-intervention service, where I regularly engaged in conversations about trauma, suicide, self-harm, risk, and abuse. My special interest lies in multicultural issues and concepts of self-identity.
With an initial career in health and food safety, I have always been passionate about supporting the well-being of others. Across more than 15 years in management positions within the dynamic and diverse hospitality industry, I encountered a wide range of people with varied identities, backgrounds, and life stories. This experience, alongside my own personal journey as a therapy client, deepened my fascination with the complexities of our shared human experience and eventually led me to train as a therapist and pursue a career in mental health.
Practice description
Rooted in the person-centered model, my main therapeutic stance views each client as the expert on their own life, as nobody else really knows what it is like to be 'YOU'. With this in mind, compassion, empathy and genuine curiosity in you as an individual are fundamental to my practice.
As an integratively-trained therapist, I blend various therapeutic modalities to suit your specific needs, particularly drawing from the psychodynamic, existential and solution-focused approaches. I believe that our early life experiences, significant relationships, and unconscious processes continuously shape our current sense of self and how we navigate the world. Exploring the past and making sense this way of what is going on 'here and now' is something I always encourage with my clients.
My first session
If you feel I might be the right therapist for you, please call or email me to book a session. If preferable, I also offer a free 15-20 minute initial introductory video or telephone call.
After deciding to proceed with regular sessions, we will agree on the start date, time, and location (in-person or online) and discuss the arrangement in more detail. Each session lasts 50 minutes and costs £70. The duration of therapy is open-ended or as per each individual agreement. I welcome both, long and short-term therapy clients.
For those who prefer the outdoors or do not have suitable arrangements for working online, I also offer 'Walk & Talk' or 'Park Bench' sessions in suitable areas across Wandsworth, Clapham and Wimbledon, weather permitting.
I reserve some spaces in my practice for reduced-fee clients. Please contact me directly to enquire.
