Welcome to my website.
I’m an experienced Psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist who after more than 20 years is still excited about the potential that therapy has to facilitate a process of change. I am a curious and warm practitioner who enjoys empowering clients to find their own voice and path.
In my comfortable practice I offer individual, couples and group therapy, both long and short-term, for adults of all ages, backgrounds and orientations in the Sydenham/Forest Hill/Crystal Palace area, offering both in person as well as online sessions. I also offer Supervision.
Psychotherapy offers you a chance to review your present situation, discover new perspectives and ways of engaging with the inevitable dilemmas and difficulties that life throws up. A dedicated and safe space allows you to start playing around with different ideas about your life to set in motion a process of reaching for what you are wanting and needing at this moment in time.
I work from an existential-phenomenological perspective which means welcoming the unknown aspects of existence and facilitating the creation of meaning from the givens of each situation. I pay close attention to Body, Breath and Energy, the flow of which can bring back joy into relationships and daily living.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) also known as tapping, and allied energy psychology methods are helpful tools, which I offer in sessions when appropriate and can be easily learnt and used by people for self-care and to manage stress, overwhelm and anxiety.
Finding the right therapist with whom you feel comfortable and safe is important, and once that connection is made the therapy can begin to unfold towards the changes that you would like to see in your life.
