My Approach

I practise integratively which means that I work flexibly based on your individual needs, using a range of therapeutic ways of working including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Person Centred and Psychodynamic therapies.

My approach is grounded in collaboration between us. I will welcome whatever you bring with curiosity, rather than judgement. This helps us to form a safe therapeutic relationship which is the foundation for us to be able to truly explore together and work through what is troubling you.

I work in a relational way, which means that the therapeutic relationship between us will be a key part of our time together, drawing from the relationship between us to build awareness and understanding and in turn building tools to help you move forward in your life.

I will offer you a compassionate, reliable and confidential space to share and explore. My aim is always to support and empower you to find your way to what feels like a better place.

I adhere to the BACP's code of ethics ensuring a safe, confidential and inclusive practice. http://www.bacp.co.uk/ethical_framework/

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Counselling/psychotherapy is for anyone who feels that they could benefit from a safe and supportive space to explore parts of themselves and their lives. It can be used to address specific issues, or simply to help people to cope better with the demands of life.

  • You may want short term support for an especially difficult time, or you may feel that you have something more deep rooted that you would like to understand and work through in open ended work. Though I tend not to work with a certain prescribed number of sessions, once we begin, we will review regularly to assess how your needs are being met within the therapy. This ensures an element of focus in our time together.

  • Our sessions together are charged at £70 per hour. I do provide some concessionary rates so please feel free to speak to me about that.

  • I practice in-person at North London locations in Barnet, EN5 and North Finchley, N12. I also hold sessions online using Zoom.

  • Generally speaking, counselling is often referred to as fairly short term support to help people with specific issues. These could be ways of coping with particularly difficult events or desired changes in behaviours. Psychotherapy can also provide this type of support but will also work at a deeper level, identifying emotional and relational aspects of behaviour patterns that can underpin difficulties in relationships with others as well as with ourselves. This tends to be a longer process. The term ‘therapy’ can be used to describe both counselling and psychotherapy processes. I offer both counselling and psychotherapeutic support.

  • Whilst talking to friends and family members can be a source of great support, because they can often be involved and invested in your life, they tend to offer advice and reassurance. It may even be the family relationships that need processing and working through in therapy. A therapist will offer you a different kind of support, providing a safe, non-judgemental space that can empower you to find your own answers.
