Support along the way

Counselling & Psychotherapy
in West London & Online

Taking the step to explore therapy is a brave decision. Maybe you're feeling stuck, ready to make some big or small changes in your life, overwhelmed or simply curious about understanding yourself better. Many of my clients come to therapy for a variety of reasons:

  • Seeking Clarity: Sometimes the journey is about finding your way back to yourself and making space to understand your path, recognising your strengths, and exploring new possibilities for living fully.

  • Healing Past Wounds: Perhaps you can feel past traumas or unresolved pain holding you back. A compassionate space can help to work through some of this so you can breathe more freely.

  • Managing Stress and Anxiety: Life’s pressures can be challenging and overwhelming. In therapy you can work on  creating a sense of ease and balance.

  • Improving Relationships: Insights into patterns of behaviour and communication can be invaluable in helping you build more fulfilling connections in existing and future relationships.

There is no single “right” reason to come to therapy. If you’re feeling uncertain, know that that’s perfectly normal. Our work together will be tailored to your unique needs, offering a non-judgmental space where you can explore, understand, and eventually transform the challenges you face.

About me

I offer a safe, compassionate space to explore your thoughts and emotions. I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey where we can work together to understand your experiences and explore new ways of being.

Before training as a psychotherapist, I spent several years working in a corporate environment, and later in the wellness industry. This has influenced my therapeutic work and continues to inform how I attend to both the mind and body of my clients.

My integrative approach draws on a range of therapeutic modalities, including:

  • Person-Centred and Relational Therapy: Focusing on the relationship in the room as a space for healing and growth.

  • Childhood Adversity and Abuse Work: Supporting those navigating the impact of early life experiences.

  • Transpersonal and Existential Approaches: Exploring meaning, spirituality, and the human experience.

  • Parts Work: Understanding different parts of the self.

  • Mindfulness and Dream Exploration: Developing deeper self-awareness.

About Therapy

Therapy offers a confidential space where you can safely explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Whether you have a clear sense of what’s troubling you or feel uncertain about what you need, we can navigate this together. Taking the step to begin therapy can feel daunting, and it’s completely natural to feel unsure. My role is to support you through that process.

Common areas I work with include:

  • Anxiety and Stress

  • Depression

  • Relationship Difficulties & Life Changes

  • Self-Esteem

  • Trauma

  • Domestic Abuse

  • Illness

  • Bereavement and Loss

Confidentiality is central to therapy, ensuring a protected space where you can express yourself freely. We’ll discuss the specific boundaries of confidentiality during our initial sessions.

How to get started

Exploratory call: I offer a free 15-minute phone call as an opportunity for us to briefly connect and explore what has brought you to consider therapy at this time. This is a chance for you to ask any questions you might have, and for us both to get a sense of whether it feels right to take the next step together. There is no pressure to decide anything during this call — it's simply a gentle starting point.

Introductory Session: You may then decide to book in for your first session where we can speak in more detail and also discuss the timeframe and set-up of your therapy. Introductory sessions are £80 and last 50 minutes.

After that sessions are usually held weekly at the same time.
Occasionally I am able to offer more flexible arrangements.

I work with individual adults both in person in West London and online.

Location & Accessibility

My practice is based in Chiswick, with good transport links. I also work out of Queens Park and Fulham.

Fees

My session fee ranges between £80 and £100 depending on the location and time of your appointment.

I offer some lower-cost slots for those who may need them. Please feel free to ask about availability during our initial conversation. We will also discuss my cancellation policy and the therapeutic contract.
