About me and my therapy practice
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ
Choosing a counsellor can cause some anxiety- of course you need to be with someone you feel comfortable with, where you are seen, held and supported. I offer a free initial 20-minute phone chat with no obligation to proceed to help you decide if I am right for you.
Should we agree to continue, I offer 50-minute sessions. Your sessions will be guided by what you want to bring. I understand this might be the first time you have ever spoken about your issue, so I will gently help you say what is troubling you.
I am a qualified counsellor following in Psychosynthesis, which is a transpersonal model of counselling. The training I undertook is accredited by Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ and I am qualified to work with adults.
Practice description
I offer 50-minute sessions, either in-person or online. These can be short or long-term. In-person sessions take place in Twickenham, London.
In your sessions we will acknowledge the emotional pain, your response to it, and explore what might be stopping you from moving forward. This will be done mostly through conversation, and we might include imagination, images, drawing, fantasy, dreams, physical sensations, or other inspirations to help express aspects that are hard to explain. Underlying all of this will be a space to understand your world, question established patterns, and seek the possibilities within it.
My first session
If we have already had a 20-minute introduction by phone, the first full counselling session will be a general overview of the issues you want to bring to therapy and some information about your personal history.
After the first meeting, there is no agenda and sessions are directed by you. You can bring a historical issue or whatever is present or worrying you in any particular week. We might continue a theme that we have already explored in a previous session, or discuss something entirely new.
