What are you looking for help with today?

Counselling will give you the opportunity to think and talk about whatever is going on for you in a confidential, non-judgmental space. This will enable you to gain more clarity, become more self-aware and understand the cause of any imbalance you may be experiencing along with your patterns of responding to your difficulties. This will then open up your potential to make positive changes in your life.

Counselling can be used to address almost anything that might be causing concerns for you and your wellbeing. Some of the issues may be current and others historical but still have an impact on you now. Examples include;

 

AbuseAddiction
AngerAnxiety and stress
Bereavement and lossBullying
Cultural identity issuesDepression
DiscontentDivorce
Eating disordersEmployment issues
FertilityHealth concerns
Lack of MotivationMajor life changes

Individual counselling sessions: £130

Couple’s therapy sessions: £170 each

Clinical supervision: £85 per hour

Individual counselling sessions and couples therapy sessions are 50 minutes each. Supervision is as agreed.

I usually manage to offer a first appointment within 1-2 weeks depending on your availability and flexibility.

Your first session is really an opportunity to decide whether you want to pursue counselling and whether you feel comfortable with me as your therapist. I would use the opportunity to ask some questions and find out a little about you and what brings you to counselling. So that I too can be clear about whether I can be of help to you before we agree to work together.

The assessment process for the couple’s therapy requires that I first meet with the both of you, then I would arrange to see you individually for one session each then together again to feedback what I make of your relationship, the patterns, pitfalls and how I can help.

Behavioral Couple’s Therapy is more directive and will require your commitment to work on your relationship in between sessions by practicing the exercises you learn with me in the sessions.

Your relationship doesn’t have to be completely falling apart before you can justify seeking couple’s therapy, sometimes communication can breakdown in a mutually loving, caring relationship because of something else like loss, trauma, or depression in one of the partners.

I currently offer in person appointments from a two different locations in London, one is in the City of London at 20 Birchin Lane, EC3V 9DU. The nearest train stations are Bank/Monument, Cannon Street, Mansion House, Moorgate and Liverpool Street. The other location is in Central London at 37 Queen Anne Street, which is in Marylebone just off Harley Street and the nearest stations are Bond Street, Baker Street, Oxford Circus and Marylebone.

I also offer appointments over the telephone or via video conferencing platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams.​

I understand that there will be times when this might happen and I do not charge for planned breaks in therapy. I ask that if you need to cancel a scheduled appointment, you give me as much notice as possible and I would endeavor to do the same if I need to cancel. However, I do charge my full fee for appointments that are missed or cancelled giving less than 24 hours notice.
