About me and my therapy practice

At times we all experience challenges in life, whether it be an isolated situation or ongoing difficulties. Past and/or present experiences may feel unmanageable and difficult to cope with. These can feel overwhelming and may lead to increased stress levels and constant worry, and can interfere with our sleeping, eating and our general mood. They can lead to difficult feelings such as sadness, depression, anxiety isolation, loneliness, stress, low self-esteem and low self-confidence, and relationships may become difficult. 

Counselling is a space for you to think, to feel and to explore. At the core of counselling is the relationship between you and your counsellor, a relationship in which you feel safe and can talk freely and share your thoughts and experiences at the pace you wish. Although I will encourage you to talk and reflect on many parts of your life, you do not have to talk about anything you do not wish to. I will listen in a warm and thoughtful way, without judgement, and together we will work to help you process and understand the difficulties you are facing. 

An experienced psychodynamic therapist, I have a strong desire to help people improve their mental and emotional health, and ultimately their overall quality of life. I work with adults who can feel overwhelmed by new or challenging circumstances, or feel troubled by past experiences or loss. I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for you to be listened to and understood, where your thoughts, feelings or troubling behaviour can be expressed and will be respected. Having the opportunity to talk, to feel seen and heard, can enable you to gain a better understanding of yourself. Over time this will increase your capacity to cope with present and future difficulties and support your personal development and growth. 

Practice description

My approach is psychodynamic. This means that together we will explore your feelings, fears and challenges, understanding that they can have roots in past experiences. Sometimes, making links with things that have happened before can help us to understand our current behaviour and perhaps any unhelpful any repeating patterns. 

I offer open ended therapy, which means that the number of sessions isn't fixed. I can also offer you short-term therapy if there are one or two specific issues that you would like to work on. Sessions would be 50 minutes on a weekly basis, always at the same time on the same day.

I have a private practice, working from my therapy room close to the centre of St Albans, and from therapy spaces in both Luton and Wheathampstead. All have nearby free parking and are accessible by public transport. I can also offer therapy online or via telephone.

As a registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ, I work in accordance with the their Standards of Good Practice and Code of Ethics.

It would provide you with an opportunity to meet me and have a feel for the style of counselling I offer, so that you can make an informed decision about whether to continue. It would also provide me with an opportunity to gather some information about you and consider your main concerns. This would enable me to ensure that I am best placed to meet your specific needs.
