About

With an open mind and an open approach, I work from Bloomsbury, Central London and on SKYPE etc, with an international client base. This open approach creates an environment tailored to your uniqueness as an individual and your situation. Through this individual and unique collaboration you will be supported on a very personal journey.

You may have mixed feelings as you contact me. Some feelings you may already have identified and some may be a mystery at this point. These feelings will become better understood leading to an understanding of their impact on your behaviour. If someone has pointed a behaviour out to you or if you have noticed it yourself, then i can support your developing self-awareness for improved mental health, improved emotional health and develop healthier ways of being.

No matter what reasons brought you to this point, our collaboration will be for you to safely explore the thoughts, reactions and the feelings that you live with.

What next?

You can call me or email me, whichever form of contact you feel comfortable with. You are free to ask me any questions and from that make a decision as to whether you would like to arrange a meeting either face-to-face or by Skype.

Before calling, think about the practical aspect. For example, have to hand a few dates and times that would suit you. I will note these and check room availability. I will then email or call (as you prefer) with confirmation.

The phone calls and emails are confidential. Please let me know if it is ok to leave a message.

Therapy is an investment that brings awareness for positive change. The amount of time and the affordability may be influencing factors on your decision to access counselling. This aims to help you consider if short term or long term may be suitable. In the initial session we can discuss in more detail which approach might best suit your situation.

Short Term

This approach involves between six and twelve sessions, meeting weekly. It involves finding an area of focus, that will guide the flow of the sessions. Other interconnected topics may arise and we consider their influence. It may be appropriate at a later stage to have more therapy to fully explore these interconnected topics, but in short term therapy it is often not essential to do so. The best way to think of this work is not the number of sessions but actually the number of weeks because often there will be encouragement to do self-development/self-awareness practices between sessions. The work focuses on your current situation in relation to what is troubling you. As the sessions progress we have time to monitor the accumulated progress, so that as the end approaches you have a sense of going forward with what you have learnt. You may decide that to be enough or at a later stage to consider more therapy with me or another therapist, or to have check-in sessions as and when needed (as a back up and a safety net in moments of need). All of those potentials will be discussed as we prepare to end.

Long Term

This is a more traditional approach to therapy and is often called open-ended. Sessions are usually weekly but can be fortnightly in certain cases. There is sometimes a main focus but the sessions have a more ebb and flow to topics covered, as influenced by the day. This work is varied and allows time for a deep level of understanding of the many underlying influences we gather through life that create our patterns of behaviour. We will maintain an open dialogue on how therapy is helping you progress, develop and review if you want to prepare to stop or take a break.
