Making the decision to work with a counsellor or psychotherapist can be daunting. You might have lots of questions about how it's supposed to be, what you will talk about, what happens in the session.
For this reason I offer an initial free session of therapy in for you to experience what it feels like to 'see' a counsellor / therapist. For an appointment or more information please visit my website.Qualifications & Training
BA (Hons), MSc, Dip Counselling and psychotherapy.Experience
I work with individuals, couples and groups; and with children and families in a private location near Reading town centre, and in Paddington in Central London.
I also offer phone counselling and on-line counselling & psychotherapy for clients who don t wish to work face-to-face.
I have worked with people facing difficult circumstances (including family breakdown, trauma, bereavement, chronic and terminal illness such as HIV & AIDS, homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, abuse and discrimination, dealing with war and crime, as well as a wide range of relationship, work, and personal difficulties) for over ten years, in social care, development and human rights organisations in this country and overseas.
I now specialise in working therapeutically with people desiring to make changes and transform their lives.
The work I do with clients is not restricted to a particular issue. You don't come to see me to work for example with an addiction, and look only at being an addict. You are not a label or a symptom, and I don't work that way. I find that most of the work I do with clients is about strengthening your sense of self, and understanding and giving meaning to your life.Fees
£55 face-to-face.
£35 online or phone.
