“Just because no one else can heal or do your inner work for you doesn’t mean you can, should, or need to do it alone.” — Lisa Olivera
Welcome
You didn’t arrive in this world to struggle and hurt; to merely survive rather than truly live. And while some pain and hurt is a part of life, somehow somewhere along the line things got completely out of whack and the struggle, overwhelm and pain took over.
While we can’t always control what life brings, there is something you can change — and by being here, you’ve already taken the first step. You can change how you relate to yourself, to your experiences, and to the world around you.
Therapy can help you reduce anxiety and overwhelm, it can help you make sense of the world, it can allow you to process your experiences and find a happier, clearer and a more positive way forward.
About Counselling
You might be thinking about counselling for a variety of reason; it might be just one pressing thing or several; it might be something recent or something that has been with you for a very long time. I have listed some of the reasons you might be here, which I hope will help you feel seen.
The list is not exhaustive and if you would like to discuss anything else, drop me a note using the button below.
This might be a constant feeling of pressure, or a feeling like you are on a treadmill and cannot step off of it. Or it might be exhaustion, making it so hard to function. However it presents, we can find a way to lift it off your shoulders.
Anxiety presents itself in so many different ways; from panic to that unsettling feeling in your stomach, to swirling thoughts that don't want to stop, to racing heart, and more.
It might be a loss of a loved one, a friend, a pet; or an ending - career, relationship, stage of life, or something completely different.
There are many reasons we might experience loss and all reasons are welcome here.

Trauma can happen at any point in our lives, it might be something we experienced as a child, or maybe it was at a later stage. It could have been a single incident or multiple. You are safe here to process it, and live your life to the fullest again.
Neurodivergence is not a mental health issue. However, living in a world with neurotypical standards and expectations can have a significant impact on how you view yourself and on your wellbeing.
In this space you are safe to unmask and be you.

What You Can Expect
Location
I offer sessions online and face to face; we can discuss your needs and depending on where you are based, we can agree on the best way.
Face to face sessions are available on Saturday mornings and take place in South Croydon.
Online session are available across England, including my local areas: Wallington, Carshalton, Beddington, Hackbridge and Croydon.
Availability & Fees
I strongly believe that the most important thing for the therapy to work is to have a counsellor you can trust and connect with.
This is why I offer a 20 minutes free initial call, so that we can have a conversation and you can check out what it might be like to work with me.
All sessions are 60 minutes in length and cost £65.
All fees are payable 48 hours in advance.
I am currently available in the evenings and at the weekends.
If you would like to discuss a different session time, length of sessions, frequency or concession rates, let's have a chat.
