Restore your
Well-being & Realise your Potential
A Warm Welcome
Do you need someone to talk with?
Feeling overwhelmed or struggling within yourself, with relationships, and with the world? I know how painful it can be. You do not need to suffer alone. I offer you a warm, safe, and confidential space to talk, to be heard, and to be taken seriously. Together we can find a way through whatever is happening and however you are feeling.
It takes courage to admit there is a problem and to seek help. Your choice to enter counselling could reflect a
life-affirming impulse that is seeking to work through the pain and wounds of your past, understand how they are affecting you now, and reveal your more authentic sense of self.
Doing so might help release your inner resources and capacities to be with whatever life brings, and so liberate you to make the changes you need to create a more genuine, fulfilling, and hopeful life, aligned with your own deep innate sense of truth.
I would feel honoured if you invite me to accompany you as we embark on your journey towards understanding, change, and wholeness.
In-Person & Online sessions
I offer in-person sessions at The Psychosynthesis Trust near London Bridge SE1, or online video and telephone counselling sessions.
It is important you find the right therapist for you, so I offer a no-cost initial session to experience how it feels to spend time together, and to explore how we might work together.
No-cost (free) therapy for women on low or no income
I offer myself as a male ally and supporter of feminism and equality for women.
As part of my commitment, I reserve 3 slots for women on low or no income.
These slots are no-cost (free) therapy for a period of up to 6 months (with the possibility to extend) specifically for women who are unable to afford therapy sessions (including low-cost services).
This offer is for women who:
-
Are on low or no-income and responsible for paying their own bills and expenditure.
-
Do not have significant financial support from a partner, parents, or relatives.
-
Do not have significant savings or access to an inheritance.
It is crucial that these slots go to the women who need them the most, for example single mothers, first or second generation immigrants, those who were unable to access further education, etc.
If you or someone you know is eligible and would like to access this offer, please contact me and I will let you know if any of these slots are currently available.
