Counselling provides a place to explore and process difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people move from a place of anxiety, confusion and distress to greater understanding and peace. Sometimes life can feel like a maze or puzzle, and counselling can help find a way through or put together the pieces.

I am a therapeutic counsellor in private practice in London, based mainly in Marylebone (W1) and Balham (SW12). I offer counselling during the working day, with the last client at 5pm.

Qualifications:
Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.
Level 5 Diploma in Sex Addiction Counselling

Professional Memberships:
Registered Member of the BACP
Registered Member of the ACC
Member of ATSAC

I work with a wide range of people covering issues like:

Low self-esteem, identity, addictions (including sex, pornography and alcohol), relational dysfunction, depression and anxiety, abuse, eating disorders, self-harm, anger and difficult emotions, co-dependence, obsessive thinking, feeling stuck or lost, loss and coping with grief, faith and spirituality issues.

My aim is to provide a safe space for my clients to explore their world and why they are behaving and relating in ways they do not like. Often current behaviour may be linked to unresolved past events and working through these can improve current relationships, increase self confidence and self esteem.

I am an integrative counsellor, which means that I blend a number of different theories and approaches. My practice is informed mostly by the psychodynamic and person centred approaches. I also draw on attachment theory and the transpersonal (spiritual).

I am a Christian and I am happy to discuss issues of spirituality with clients should they wish to. I work with clients from any faith, or non-faith, background.

Fees: from £90 per 50 minute session depending on client income. From £100 per session for sex addiction work. I may be able to offer a discount for those on benefits/low income (daytime only).
