IT'S ABOUT YOU...
I believe in the power of human connection and seek to create a warm and engaging environment based on a foundation of trust and mutual respect.
As a therapist - coach I seek to understand each person’s own individual experience and adapt my approach to best suit each client. As an integratively trained practitioner I draw upon many therapeutic approaches. Whilst appreciating that the past plays an important role in the development of our patterns of behaviour, I am also able to utilise a range of techniques to help clients cope better with everyday life. It is about finding what is right for you. As both a therapist and a coach, I bring a depth of experience and insight that facilitates a deeper level of discovery, understanding and self awareness.
I work with adults and specialise in anxiety, work-based stress, burnout, depression, bereavement, relationship difficulties and life and career transitions, although this list is not exhaustive. I have considerable experience working with OCD, ADHD and am a trauma informed therapist. I have worked within a variety of therapeutic settings, including the NHS & Mind and have over 25 years experience working within a corporate environment in the field of people development. This experience, including periods living overseas, is valuable in my therapeutic work, deepening my understanding of the many challenges faced in the modern day world.
I am a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist with a Masters in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy. I am an Accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and adhere to their Ethical Framework for Counselling Professions. In addition I am a member of BACP Coaching, a member of the European Coaching and Mentoring Council and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development. I undertake regular continuous professional development and training to advance my knowledge and expertise.
My private practice is located in Teddington in South West London, a few minutes walk from the train station, on a number of major bus routes and with ample on street parking nearby. I also work online and offer walking therapy in South West London.
