Counselling:
My approach is in the person-centred/humanistic modality which means I aim to create a warm, authentic and non-judgemental space for you to explore areas of your life. I hope to help you experience counselling in a safe, confidential and sensitive environment (the same way my counsellor was for me).
You may be seeking counselling for a variety of factors that are affecting your life, or you may not be entirely sure of the cause of your distress / anxiety / depression and why you’re feeling certain ways. My aim is to be guided by you in order to help explore your difficulties.
My professional background is in recruitment (within media and creative industries) and I’ve always had a strong passion for mental health, well-being and personal development. I hope to utilise my experience supporting different types of people through their career, towards my goal of supporting people with their personal lives.
I found my way into counselling through my voluntary work as a mentor and yoga teacher with young people in London, as well as having my own personal therapy during difficult times and experiencing the benefits.
I'm a registered student member of the BACP so follow their ethical framework, guidelines and principles. Committed to developing the highest standard of practice.

FAQs
What happens in a counselling session?
A counselling session is a chance to talk about whatever you wish – from everyday events, problems and thoughts, to feelings, memories and dreams. Sessions provide a safe space to look at things in a highly focused way, exploring in depth exactly how you experience them, what impact they have on your life and goals, and where you might wish to make changes.
How often will counselling sessions be and how long do they last?
Sessions are usually on a weekly basis, at the same time each week. Sessions normally last for 50 minutes with some leeway each side. It’s important to attend counselling regularly to build momentum, helping you make gradual, steady progress towards your goals.
Fortnightly sessions and regular check-in points can be arranged too.
Will sessions be confidential?
I follow and abide by a professional codes of ethics. Part of this is a commitment to the utmost confidentiality – I understand and completely respect the need for privacy and discretion when looking at sensitive issues. I will talk in more detail about confidentiality at your first session, and you will receive a written contract to confirm the discussion.
How much time will counselling work take?
Depending on what you want to achieve and what kind of issue you are exploring, counselling may last as little as half a dozen sessions or it may continue for several months or years. Problems that have been around a long time, especially those which are rooted early in life, or which are more complex in nature (affecting many different parts of your life), generally take longer to resolve. Studies have shown that on average, around half of people will have made a full recovery after between 13-18 sessions, with the other half needing longer to achieve the changes they wish to see.
How much are Counselling sessions?
Counselling with me cost £45 per session - the average cost of counselling sessions online in the UK (average is between £50 to £80 per session).
*Concession price available for students, key workers and low-income.
How do we get started?
We start with a 30-minute consultation call to see how you feel we gel and get on. It gives you an opportunity to see how you feel in my presence and if you can envisage yourself working with me further.
