Supportive counselling for grief, fertility, chronic illness and other issues. Providing therapy in Ruislip, Pinner, Eastcote, Harrow, and online across the UK.
Considering Reaching Out For Support?
Taking the first step can feel daunting, especially if you have never had counselling before. I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation so we can discuss what is happening in your life right now, and to see if working together would be beneficial for you.
Counselling Support in Ruislip
I am a counsellor who understands what it means to lose someone or something important. I know what it feels like to receive a life-changing health diagnosis and to have to make the unwanted decision to begin IVF treatment. And I know what it feels like to lose a special person or a beloved pet. I combine lived experience and training to help you make sense of your feelings and to find healthy ways of coping.
Clients describe our work together as compassionate, grounded, and validating; a place to come and be honest without feeling judged.
Alongside these specialist areas, I support adults experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and general life transitions. I am an integrative counsellor based in Ruislip, working with individual adults in person and online across the UK. My approach is grounded, empathic, and tailored to you, giving you the time and support needed to understand your experiences and move forward at your own pace.
Things You May Be Feeling
It is completely normal to feel uncertain about what is happening or where to begin. Here are a few common ways emotional distress can show up in daily life:
Overwhelmed & Exhausted
Carrying constant worry, mental fatigue, or emotional strain that makes everyday tasks feel draining and difficult to manage.
Isolated & Misunderstood
Feeling as though family and friends do not fully grasp what you are going through, leaving you alone with your thoughts.
Stuck in Uncertainty
Struggling to adjust to changes, processing grief, or facing health and life events that have disrupted your sense of direction.
Additional Areas of Counselling
Loss & Bereavement
Grief comes in many forms, from the death of a loved one to the loss of a relationship or identity. We work together to process your grief gently and without expectations.
Fertility, IVF & Baby Loss
Navigating fertility struggles, IVF, baby loss, or involuntary childlessness can be emotionally exhausting. I offer dedicated, compassionate space to support you through every stage.
Living with Chronic Illness
Adjusting to a long-term medical diagnosis or living with chronic illness brings unique physical and emotional challenges. We explore healthy coping strategies and adjustments.
My Approach to Counselling
I practice as an integrative counsellor, blending person-centred therapy with psychodynamic insights. This means we focus on where you are today while exploring how past experiences may still shape your feelings, relationships, and behavioural patterns.

Initial Consultation

Meaningful Outcomes

Frequently Asked Questions
No question is too small. Ask anything you need to feel safe, comfortable, and ready.
The first step is booking a free 20-minute introductory phone call. This gives us the chance to discuss what brings you to therapy, answer any questions you may have, and see whether working together feels like the right fit before booking your first session.
Your initial 50-minute session is a gentle, relaxed space to explore what you are going through in more detail. We will talk about your background, what you hope to achieve, and establish how we will work together to support you.
The number of sessions depends entirely on your personal circumstances and goals. Some clients benefit from short-term counselling focused on a specific issue, while others prefer open-ended therapy for longer-term support. We will review our progress regularly so you always feel in control.
I offer both. In-person therapy is held in a comfortable, private room on Ickenham Road in Ruislip, convenient for clients across Pinner, Ickenham, Rickmansworth, and Northwood. I also provide online counselling via secure video link across the UK.
Integrative counselling combines different therapeutic models rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. I draw from person-centred and psychodynamic approaches, allowing us to focus on your present challenges while understanding how past patterns and life events influence you today.
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of safe and ethical therapy. Everything discussed in our sessions remains strictly confidential. However, there are some limitations to confidentiality which we will discuss when we meet.
As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere strictly to their Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions.
Individual adult sessions are £85 for 50 minutes, whether in person in Ruislip or online. If you need to reschedule or cancel a session, I ask for at least 48 hours notice so the time slot can be made available to others.
