Therapy helps you feel better about your memories and experiences.

Counselling and Psychotherapy provide a pathway toward understanding your experiences and finding strategies that work uniquely for you. Therapy doesn't erase memories or experiences, but it can help you feel better about them. It's a way to feel calmer and understand things better. It's a process that, for many, leads to a greater sense of peace, understanding, and resolution.  Sometimes, just talking about your thoughts can make you feel lighter. For deeper issues or long-lasting impacts, therapy can help you unravel patterns, understand their roots, and pave the way for new, healthier ways of living.

Fantastically powerful. Surprisingly Affordable.

It's £75 per session, if you choose to do in-person therapy from locations in KT2, Kingston upon Thames, or work online. 

It's £100  per session, for couples and family therapy.

Therapy doesn't have a set time. Most people have 8-12 sessions, but we'll figure out what's best for you. 

Therapy's like a good book—it's different for everyone! We usually meet for 50 minutes every week. Some people feel better after a few sessions, while others need therapy for a year or more. You can end therapy whenever you feel ready. It's up to you! 

Typically, I recommend an initial block of 6 weekly sessions. Then you can decide if you need more. However, you're always in charge of your therapy, and I aim to take your lead on what you want.

We'll introduce ourselves to each other.

The first session is mostly about getting to know each other better. I ask you questions, discovers what you need, and tell you more about how I aim to help people. We'll figure out together how to make our sessions helpful for you.

It's also important for you to feel comfortable with me. Studies show that feeling a strong connection with your therapist leads to more positive outcomes for you. This first session lets you see if you feel a connection.

I use different ways to help you and make my techniques fit your needs.

I work integratively, which means I blend different techniques, including principally Existential Therapy, but also Person Centred Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, and other tailored methods to cater to your individual needs. It's about finding what resonates best with you and crafting a supportive approach that suits your journey towards healing.
