Supporting Adults, Children and Teenagers with Compassion and Expertise
Counselling, Psychotherapy and Parenting support in Teddington, Kingston and online.
About Me
After a career in the civil service, I came to this work following a period of deep self-reflection and personal challenge. Seeking meaning and fulfilment, I pursued my long-standing interest in psychology, earning qualifications in the field, including a Master’s in Occupational Psychology and a Master’s in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.
I initially trained to work with adults but have since expanded my practice to include children and teenagers, undertaking additional training and clinical experience through working in schools, youth services, and private practice. With over 12 years of experience, I support clients using both traditional talk therapy and creative, play-based approaches tailored to developmental needs.
My Experience
Through my training, learning and clinical or personal experience, I have knowledge and understanding of issues such as:
Depression, stress, anxiety, OCD, trauma, developmental trauma, suicidal ideation, self-harm, neurodiversity, being affected by addictions, being at risk of genetic conditions, low self-esteem, eating disorders, domestic abuse, cultural issues, bereavement and loss, parenting, being a carer, boarding school syndrome, attachment issues, living and working abroad.
I have a passion for learning and invest in continued training in developments in the field of psychological health, which help inform my work.

My Therapeutic Approach
I offer integrative, relational therapy in a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space. At the core of my work is the person-centred approach, focused on developing a strong, trusting relationship where you feel safe to explore your feelings, thoughts and experiences.
Depending on your individual needs, I draw from a range of approaches and theories to help you understand what’s keeping you stuck and explore ways to move forward. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stressed or unfulfilled, I work alongside you to support lasting change, resilience and growth.
I believe you have the answers to how to change things that are holding you back, and to be the person you want to be. My job is to help you find them by:
Counselling and Therapy for Children and Teenagers
With children and teenagers, I adapt therapy to their developmental stage, using creative tools and play therapy to help them express emotions and feel understood. My goal is to build a relationship of trust and support, empowering young clients to thrive now and into adulthood.
Parenting Support
Being a parent can be joyful, but also overwhelming, exhausting and lonely. Children don’t come with a manual, and modern pressures—from digital life to pandemic disruptions—make parenting even more complex.
I offer counselling for parents who may be struggling with this transition, identity shifts, or family-related challenges. I also provide targeted parenting support, including individual sessions and Circle of Security Parenting: a relationship-based programme designed to strengthen attachment and emotional connection with your child.
