People’s capacity to make life-affirming choices is directly affected by their awareness. Once you are aware then you are responsible, giving you the choice to make changes or stay the same.

Accredited member BACP - BA (Hons) Integrative Councellor and Psychotherapist

I am an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, specialising in psycho-sexual therapy. I support both individuals and couples from my clinics in Weybridge and Ashtead; and also online via zoom.

For me, counselling is all about building a trustworthy relationship with my clients. This allows the client to open up through talking and get the most out of their session. I strive to create sessions that are held in a safe, professional and non-judgemental environment.

My role is to listen and deepen my client's experience in the room by allowing them to come to realisations about their lives and relationships; not just in the counselling room, but outside the room too.

So often, what happens in the counselling room reflects what is happening to a client in their everyday relationships. I see my job as enabling clients to see the correlation between our discussions and their everyday lives.

Everyone’s life experience is unique and I ensure that every session reflects on that.
