Therapy | Family Minded

Life can present various challenges, whether it’s grappling with self-perception, navigating key life events, or managing the complexities of parenting. If you’re finding it hard to navigate these difficulties and are seeking support, my 1:1 therapy sessions may be just what you need.

I offer a warm and welcoming online environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings as a parent, child, or teen. My person-centred approach is tailored to your unique experiences, focusing on helping you gain insights and develop coping strategies to enhance your wellbeing.

Whether you’re a parent of a child aged 6 or a teenager, my therapy sessions are designed to provide the support and clarity you need. I also have limited availability for face-to-face sessions in Central London and Eastbourne, East Sussex, for those who prefer in-person interaction.

As a qualified Therapist with a Degree in Counselling Psychology and currently pursuing a Doctoral Degree in the same field, I bring a deep understanding of human behaviour and a compassionate approach to my practice. My personal experience as a parent caregiver has equipped me with empathy and insight into the unique challenges faced by families.

I have a diverse background of supporting individuals in various life stages and circumstances. My experience most relevant to families includes:

Coordinating the local hospice child bereavement service: Providing grief counselling and support to children and families who have experienced the loss of a loved one.

Holding creative mindfulness groups for children with neurodiverse needs: Utilising art, music, and other creative modalities to help children develop coping skills and manage stress.

Counselling young people focused on their experiences of living with chronic health or neurodiversity: Offering support and guidance to individuals navigating the challenges associated with these conditions.

Supporting parent caregivers feeling burnt out or overwhelmed: Providing strategies for self-care, stress management, and maintaining emotional well-being.

Experience in NHS talking therapies: My work in NHS talking therapies has given me a comprehensive understanding of evidence-based interventions and best practices in mental health care, allowing me to offer high-quality support to those in need.

Providing low-cost counselling for individuals with disabilities and their carers: This experience has deepened my appreciation for accessibility in mental health services and reinforced my commitment to supporting vulnerable populations.

Facilitating reflective practice groups for doctors undergoing their GP training at Guys and St Thomas Hospital: This role allowed me to engage with healthcare professionals, fostering their reflective skills and resilience as they navigated the challenges of their training.

I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, drawing on a variety of therapeutic modalities, including person-centred therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychodynamic approaches, and mindfulness techniques.

Initial Assessment:
Our journey begins with a complimentary 20-minute consultation designed to gather information and determine if we are the right fit for one another. During this session, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy and any concerns you might have, providing an opportunity for you to share your experiences.

Therapeutic Methods:
I adapt my therapeutic methods to suit the age and ability of each individual. For children, this may involve more creative and play-based techniques, ensuring that therapy is engaging and accessible. For teens and adults, I employ a range of strategies, including cognitive-behavioural techniques and mindfulness practices, to facilitate deeper exploration of thoughts and feelings.

Progress and Feedback:
I encourage open communication throughout the therapy process. We’ll regularly review your progress and discuss what is working well or what may need to change. This collaborative approach ensures that our work together remains aligned with your evolving needs.

Ending Therapy:
When the time comes to conclude our sessions, we will collaboratively discuss your progress and explore strategies for maintaining your well-being moving forward. My goal is to empower you with the tools and insights needed to continue thriving independently.
