I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist working in Esher, Surrey. In addition to my private practice I have experience of seeing clients in a variety of settings including the NHS (secondary care) and the voluntary sector. I offer both short and longer term work. Counselling tends to be short term, concentrating on resolving particular, current problems. Psychotherapy is often longer term or open ended, exploring deeper issues or patterns of behaviour established earlier in life.

Counselling offers a person an opportunity to examine how difficulties in their present life may be influenced by ways of coping developed earlier in life that may be destructive or no longer helpful in adulthood. Together we might explore your thoughts, feelings, memories and dreams which might lead us to think about your past as well as your present.

I am a member of the Guildford Centre for Psychotherapy

The first step is to contact me by phone or email. I offer a free 15 minute initial telephone conversation. At this initial contact, if you choose, we can arrange a Zoom or telephone consultation. As part of managing the immediate crisis all my work is currently via Zoom or telephone.

At the consultation we can think about how we might work together and if counselling would be beneficial for you. The consultation fee is £70 for an hour and a half. On-going sessions of 50 minutes are £60.

I offer a limited number of sessions at a reduced rate for people on a low income, please talk to me to see my current availability.
