Who I work with
I work one-to-one with adults from a comfortable therapy practice in Crystal Palace in South-East London, and online. People come to therapy for a host of different reasons, including:
- difficulties or a breakdown in relationships
- feeling anxious, depressed or angry
- a sense of being directionless or stuck
- a dislocation of identity or sense of self
- past or current trauma or abuse
- feeling that something’s not right
It may be difficult to talk about these things with those closest to you, such as family or friends, whereas therapy can be a place removed from your everyday life to reflect and bring about the change you are seeking.
I provide a calm, confidential and non-judgmental space where we can navigate whatever it is that's troubling you.
My therapeutic approach
I’m an integrative therapist meaning I value your unique life experience and draw on different therapeutic perspectives to offer a way of working that’s best suited to you. This can include reflecting on how your early experiences in life have shaped the person you are today.
I work relationally which means that I pay close attention to how you experience relationships, to offer us insight into your difficulties. As part of this, I emphasise the collaborative therapeutic relationship between us to bring about growth and lasting change.
My aim is for us to develop understandings, meanings and solutions together, so you can move beyond your difficulties.
Our sessions
I offer short-term and open-ended therapy. Short-term work can be useful to focus on a current, specific difficulty, whereas open-ended work enables us to explore your difficulties more extensively - and can be helpful for longer-term issues.
Arranging weekly sessions at the same time each week enables us to get into the rhythm of your therapy. This becomes your slot for the duration of our work together, whether that’s for an agreed time-limited period, or on an open-ended basis. Sessions last for 50 minutes each.
