THERAPEUTIC COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY IN RICKMANSWORTH (WD3), NEAR WATFORD AND ONLINE, INCLUDING SOUTH EAST LONDON (SE1).

Welcome
It's no fun feeling down or stuck and struggling, not knowing which way to turn. There is a braver, happier, more fulfilled person inside you trying to get out. I can help you explore and work through your problems so you can find that person inside you, feel fulfilled and happier.
Why struggle on your own? Sometimes it just makes sense to reach out for professional help. Contact me.
I offer a free 15 minutes telephone consultation to help you get a sense of me and you'll probably want to ask questions about the therapy process and how I can support you.
You're in safe hands
I’m a professional therapeutic counsellor and registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ("BACP" *). My practice is governed by their Ethical Framework, ensuring that I am always working to promote your well-being.
I offer a confidential, supportive and respectful space to enable you to explore, openly and freely, your emotions and aspects of your life. I will support you to develop your awareness, empowering you to bring about effective change that you feel is right for you, so you can be the best person that you can be.
These pages will lead you to how I can provide you with a personalised approach in supporting you with your emotional wellbeing and personal development. To find out more, please take a look around and read about how I can be of help.

My approach
As your counsellor, I can provide support in a personalised approach to emotional wellbeing and personal development. My commitment to you is to provide support by helping you to identify and work through your emotional difficulties, and enabling you to find a way forward in life that you feel is right for you.
My training in many different approaches enables me to bring together elements of different theories and ways of working. This is based on the idea that each person is an individual so one type of therapy doesn't fit everyone. I use a Person-Centred approach as a basis of my counselling practice and bring in other theories such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I can work creatively to ensure that my approach is flexible and tailored to the needs of each individual.
By being in tune with how you are feeling and by understanding your experiences, I will support you so that you can see a way forward and work towards a growing sense of inner peace and contentment, with more focus and clarity. Sometimes it may be some clarity as well as self-compassion that will shift how you feel and respond to yourself.
What I can offer
I offer a compassionate, non-judgemental, empathic and warm environment to enable you to feel safe enough to express your inner deeper thoughts and feelings. I do not diagnose or categorise. With me, you can be your true self and be honest about how you are really feeling.
I will ensure that you feel sessions maintain direction and focus, empowering you to review your progress regularly, always holding your autonomy in mind.
My way of working is gentle but sufficiently challenging to help you grow. I work at a pace that suits you, and I offer a space to safely contain what you bring. As your counsellor, I will strive to create a relationship based on equality rather than being ‘in charge’.
Therapy offerings
I normally offer counselling and psychotherapy in person/face to face both in South East London SE1 and in Rickmansworth WD3 area, near Watford, Hertfordshire.
However, counselling in person/face to face is temporarily on hold due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) in South East London SE1 but I'm offering face to face / in person sessions and Walk and Talk / Outdoor therapy in Rickmansworth WD3 area near Watford in Hertfordshire. My location is within easy reach of Rickmansworth station, and the M25. It is on the Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire border and also convenient for those in Ruislip, Pinner, Northwood, Watford, Denham, Uxbridge, Chalfont, Sarratt, Amersham and St Albans.
Having had BACP approved training for online and telephone counselling, I'm skilled and experienced in the use of live video-based technologies, for counselling practice. In addition, I am supervised by a knowledgeable supervisor with experience in online therapy. I'm offering sessions by telephone or online via video meetings for those in the South East London SE1 area and beyond. Fortunately, successful therapy can be delivered remotely and I have been working in this way for some time so you can be in the comfort and safety of your own home without the need to travel.
Many people find online or remote counselling and psychotherapy useful and empowering as they can feel safe and more in control by being in their own physical space. It also allows much more flexibility in booking days and times to support your needs, especially if you are confined at home or have time restraints. Get in touch and I would be pleased to help you and answer any questions you may have.
