Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, or that life’s become something to get through rather than enjoy. Perhaps you’re living a life others expect, but not one that feels true to you. Whatever you're feeling, together we can make sense of what’s going on – and what might need to change.

About me

I've been around the block – worked in business, raised a family, faced my own challenges – but I’m not judgemental and won’t be telling you how to live your life. What I do know is how to pay attention to you and your story. I'm here to listen.

Just talking things through – in your time, at your pace – can help you step back from something that feels frightening, depressing or restrictive. You’ll start to see things more clearly, and ways forward can emerge. Possibly more than you think

What you're feeling right now

While being heard matters, it's easy to lose touch with how we’re feeling. I’m trained in Gestalt therapy – we focus on what’s happening for you right now: in your thoughts, emotions, body, and how you relate to others. Let’s stay close to what’s going on for you.

Slowing down and noticing

When we slow down, we often find there's more going on than we thought. You may notice thoughts keep appearing  from nowhere – regrets, worries, confusion. Pulling you this way and that. Or maybe you feel... not much at all. Whatever it is, let’s work with that.

What your body's telling you

We can get caught in our heads and miss what our body’s saying And it's always got a lot to say,  whether that's through breath, posture, or even fidgeting hands. Let’s pay attention to those signs too.

How we are together

What happens between us can offer clues about what happens  with others. Does how you relate to me feel familiar or different? If those patterns aren't helpful then maybe we can loosen their grip.

The next step

If I sound like someone you'd like to speak to, just email, call, text or WhatsApp to arrange a free 20-minute consultation. I’ll get back to you within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.

I've got a Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling from the Metanoia Institute specialising in Gestalt Therapy. 

I’m an individual member of the ±«ÓãÊÓƵwhich means I’m governed by their ethics and guidance in my private practice.

I’m covered by Professional Indemnity Insurance and work under supervision.

I work in a dedicated therapy space near Ealing Broadway.

I’ve worked in business consultancy and market research for over 25 years so I really get the stresses of a professional life and the pressures of the commercial world.

I offer a free 20 minute consultation via Zoom or ‘phone which we would use to work out whether I am the best counsellor for your needs.

I would use our first paid session to understand your history and to agree how we should work together.
