About Me

I am not able to take on clients at the moment.

​I am a qualified, experienced therapeutic counsellor with extensive training in counselling and psychotherapy over 10years. I have experience working successfully with clients for 16 years on a number of issues including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem and confidence. I have worked in agency, education and private practice at home and abroad. I draw on humanistic (person centred and particularly Gestalt therapy) and psychoanalytic theories where relevant, and am a regular attendee at mindfulness and meditation retreats. I run an independent counselling practice in Twickenham and welcome enquiries from people of all backgrounds.

I also work with other therapists, mental health professionals and trainees as a supervisor in training, mentor and therapist.
