Therapeutic Counselling
IN LONDON (Richmond), Oxford, cheltenham & online
Supporting you through your therapeutic journey
I offer integrative therapeutic counselling to individuals who have a specific issue or just feel the need to talk through their emotions and experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
A comfortable space to be heard and be yourself
Have you been struggling with something that’s troubling you and weighing you down? Sometimes, reaching out and asking for help can feel very daunting. It can often feel like the last resort. You may feel unsure who to talk to and how to express yourself.
I offer integrative therapeutic counselling to individuals who have a specific issue or just feel the need to talk through their emotions and experiences. Whatever might be troubling you, I offer a safe and confidential place where you can talk freely and explore whatever is on your mind; I am not here to judge you. You’ll feel listened to, for your story to be heard and in your own words - giving you the space to just be you.
I use a gentle and compassionate style as we journey together to find what can best support you, including helping you make more sense of things and exploring resources that can aid you with better managing your thoughts, feelings and emotions. I draw on a range of therapy models to better support your unique and individual needs.
I work with people who are facing a variety of difficulties, such as stress and anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement and loss, illness, relationship issues, abuse, trauma, PTSD and suicidal thoughts.

About Counselling
What is Counselling?
Counselling provides a safe and confidential space to talk with a professional about something you’re struggling with or perhaps has just been bothering you. You’ll be able to talk about any past or present experiences and any thoughts, feelings or emotions you’ve been battling. It’s a chance to explore and express how you’re being affected, but without fear of being judged or misunderstood.
Counselling can give you the time and space to work through any problems, issues, or worries you may be experiencing and the chance to open-up about things you may feel uncomfortable expressing or not ready to talk about with friends or family.
How do I know if I need counselling?
Asking others for help and advice about an issue we might be facing or to just listen, their response can leave us feeling confused, overwhelmed, judged and not properly understood. If you’re feeling anxious, stressed, worn-out or overwhelmed, talking about it could help. If something is weighing you down, leaving you feeling depressed, alone, hopeless and causing a strain on the different relationships in your life, then perhaps counselling can help. Whether it’s something that’s more recently been affecting you or something you might have been carrying for a long-time, counselling offers you the space to gather your thoughts, express your feelings and try to understand your emotions.
How can counselling help?
Counselling can help you move towards growth and positive change while putting you in the driving seat of your therapeutic journey. Counselling can show you a different perspective on things, help you gain new insights and process difficult experiences. You’ll develop your strengths, explore your choices and the obstacles that may be preventing you from achieving your potential. You’ll have a chance to reflect, make sense of difficult life events and develop new ways to move forward. You’ll feel comfortable enough to explore yourself and work towards your own personal growth – emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually.
