Welcome to my website.
I'm an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor with a humanistic background, I run a private practice in Guildford which is in close proximity to Woking and Godalming. I'm an accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP Accred) which means that I've been assessed as a "competent, ethical and independent practitioner".
I am committed to providing therapy in a safe and non-judgemental environment.
Previous experience includes counselling provision for the NHS at a local GP surgery, corporate counselling, working as part of the counselling team at the Royal Holloway University and working as an in-house counsellor for the YMCA. In recent years I managed and supplied an in-house counselling service for students at a local academy in Guildford. I have several years experience of working with a wide variety of issues such as abuse, addictions, anxiety, eating disorders, depression, loss, relationships, self-esteem, self harm, and trauma to name a few, (please see 'Areas of Specialism' on my Qualifications page for more info). With an in-depth knowledge about the causes and effects of both trauma and developmental trauma, specific training and experience in issues of attachment and loss, I'm able to work with clients at a deeper level, and help them to explore and understand some of the causes of their difficulties in the present. I'm also a qualified Master Practitioner in eating disorders (NCFED) and have been working with this complex mental health issue since 2011.
I work therapeutically with clients on a long or short term basis, either online or in person. I offer a confidential and supportive counselling service in a private and relaxed studio environment. I work collaboratively with clients to explore their issues and concerns, to achieve a better understanding and relevant coping strategies. My practice is based in the Guildford, Woking and Godalming area.
