About Me
I am one of the UK’s leading Counsellors and CBT Therapists in Private Practice. I have more than 20 years clinical experience working within the field of psychological therapies and I feel passionate about helping people live happier and healthier lives. I work with individual clients and groups treating a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, as well as other conditions. I am registered with the UK’s leading professional organizations. I have worked in several clinical settings in the NHS, as well as with corporate clients on employee assisted programmes. I offer individual appointments by Skype or telephone and work with clients from all over London, the UK and Worldwide. I am regularly asked to attend public speaking events and seminars to talk about emotional health and wellbeing topics.
My approach
I provide a confidential and safe service to discuss problems and help you resolve them. My aim is to help you achieve optimal emotional wellbeing as easily and quickly as possible.
I am energetic and motivational and hold a strong belief in the human potential for change. The passion and empathy I bring to my work has undoubtedly been influenced by direct personal experience of suffering with depression in my teenage years. I’m always inspired by these experiences, and the principles and strategies I apply to my work are intended to teach you to become your own therapist, as well as transform your life.
If you are unsure which therapy approach is right for you I would be happy to discuss this at a free consultation.
