Take your wellbeing into your hands

The question of wellbeing touches us all. It's a sort of dynamic dance.  Naturally confronted with life events and challenges, whether physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, or psychological, we are in flux, shifting in balance, and once again towards equilibrium.

How do I work?

We are often looking for a quick fix to most of our problems.  Yet, these difficulties are often deeper rooted.  In my work, I take an integrative approach, working in dialogue; phenomenologically, yet informed by psychodynamic theory. The relationship with the therapist is a crucial element in the therapy. The primary focus of my work is to help others gain insight and awareness of their current situation through an understanding of past experiences and relationships.  We then use that understanding in the present, for that is where change occurs. Therapy is not something I do to others or for others; it is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the client and therapist alike.  Making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.  It may be helpful to think of therapy as a journey.  Rather than telling someone where to go, I see myself more as a guide, pointing out things that may not have been noticed, suggesting things to consider, and exploring or offering a new perspective.

Professional Qualifications

I am a qualified psychotherapist and counselor accredited by the UK Council for Counselling and Psychotherapy (UKCP) and a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I have an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (ADIP) and a PGD in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent’s College and an MS in Counselling and a BA in Psychology from The City University of New York. I am a Professional Member of the School of Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology at Regent’s College. I am bi-lingual English-French.

What to Expect

After your initial contact, we will arrange a consultation which will last about 60 minutes.  In this time we can talk about why you have come to therapy and whether I am the right person to help you.

Who Comes to Therapy

Perhaps you are down or anxious - maybe you are unsure about the future of a relationship, or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. That step through the door is one step further towards your wellbeing.  Now it is all in your hands.

Cancellation Policy

Psychotherapy requires a personal investment.  Psychotherapy attempts to be a realistic endeavor, and for this reason, I have a flexible cancellation policy with limits.  For example, I take cancellations up to 48-hour notice with no fee for the canceled session and try to reschedule when possible. There is no contract.  You are free to leave when you see fit.

Fees

Fees are negotiated during the first session and usually range from £70 to £90 for weekly 50-minute sessions.  Initial consultations are £70 for 60 minutes.
