When you`re worried, anxious or down, it can be just at those times when it feels so difficult to reach out and ask for help. Talking regularly in a confidential setting with a qualified therapist might just be of value to you

Regular once weekly(face to face or online) sessions with a counsellor offers you a chance to talk through your worries; think about where you are right now; find out more about yourself and, over time, give you more choices about your future

I have a long experience in helping individuals with emotional and psychological problems

In my previous career, for over 25 years, I worked in the social services and criminal justice sectors. Here, I frequently met with those in crisis, living “on the edge” and struggling with psychological and social breakdown

Whilst I offer psychotherapy to others, like many who choose to become therapists, I have had long term intensive psychodynamic psychotherapy myself. I know how challenging therapy can be at times, but also how therapy can open up new possibilities

I am especially interested in the impact of boarding school on individuals having been to boarding school myself. I have an understanding of addictions, in particular alcohol and drug use, and eating disorders

As well as seeing patients (either face to face or online) in private practice, I also work as an honorary psychotherapist at:

• SWLondon and St George`s Mental Health Trust
