“When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”
— Viktor Frankl
Perhaps you’re in a relationship that just isn’t working. Maybe you’ve hit a difficult transition in life and feel lost and uncertain about your future. Or you've hit a major obstacle which has completely thrown you.
These problems cause emotional distress and often show up as anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship problems, loss of confidence and depression. They may also cause us to develop unhealthy patterns of behaviour such as addiction.
Therapy will raise your self-awareness and help you to see things more clearly. By understanding your story you will be able to identify the root causes of the issues you’re struggling with.
Together we can look at ways to help you manage better and find strategies to cope. You will feel more confident and better equipped to make the changes you need to live the life you want.
For me, therapy is a vocation not a job and I am passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. I hope I can make a difference in yours.
My journey into counselling started, as many do, by doing some work on myself in therapy. So I do know how difficult it is to pick up the phone and look for support when you're struggling.
Fast forward a few years and I qualified myself as a counsellor having previously had careers in law and teaching, this was to be my third- and hopefully final!
I slowly built up my client base and now have a thriving private practice in Esher.
I work with adults of all ages from a wide variety of backgrounds. I particularly enjoy working with people struggling with relationships, issues at work, life transitions and women coping with miscarriage, fertility, post natal issues and menopause.
I am also proud to be a lecturer in counselling at a local college - training the next generation of therapists.
I work from a practice in Esher. I am also happy to offer online sessions if preferred.
I offer a free initial phone call to talk about what you're looking for and how I might be able to help. If you are happy to move forward, we can book a session at a mutually convenient time.
Sessions are either in person or online. I have availability for daytime and evening sessions during the week.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about how counselling works, or to arrange an initial assessment appointment. This enables us to discuss the reasons you are thinking of coming to counselling, whether it could be helpful for you and whether I am the right therapist to help.
You can also call me on 07894666564 if you would prefer to leave a message or speak to me first. I am happy to discuss any queries or questions you may have prior to arranging an initial appointment.
All enquires are usually answered within 24 hours, and all contact is strictly confidential and uses secure phone and email services.
