Hersham and Walton-on-ThamesCounselling and Psychotherapy

The Relationship. Trees

Welcome to my therapy practice, where inclusivity, diversity, and understanding are at the heart of my approach. Here, all aspects of your identity and experience are valued, and the therapeutic journey is uniquely tailored to meet your specific needs and goals.

 

My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard and supported, where your journey is embraced as uniquely yours. In this safe, non-judgmental environment, you’re invited to explore whatever challenges you face—whether they are rooted in the past, experienced in the present, or are fears for the future.

 

Therapy can be a powerful and transformative experience. It is your time—a sanctuary for reflection, growth, and empowerment. During our work together, we’ll uncover fresh insights, explore new perspectives, and build practical tools that can bring positive change into your life. My hope is for you to leave each session feeling a little less burdened and more empowered.

 

You don’t have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients come to explore what it means to live more meaningfully, to strengthen their emotional wellbeing, and to build more fulfilling relationships. Together, we can work on identifying and challenging negative patterns, discovering deeper self-awareness, and learning to communicate your needs and emotions more openly.

Therapy can be the space where you rediscover your voice and begin creating the life you want. It’s not just about addressing symptoms but nurturing your sense of purpose and connection. Whether we are engaging in brief work together or diving deep into long-term therapy, we will build a plan based on your unique needs and goals.

 

My practice offers specialisations in areas that address deep-seated challenges and promote transformative healing:

  • Moral Injury: If you are struggling with experiences that have challenged your core values and sense of right and wrong, we can work together to understand and navigate the complex feelings of guilt, shame, or loss of trust that may accompany these events.

  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is an evidence-based therapy particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. Through EMDR, we can work to reduce the emotional impact of painful memories, allowing you to regain control and move forward with renewed strength.

  • Schema Therapy: This approach helps to identify and shift negative patterns—often rooted in childhood—that may be impacting your life today. By understanding these ingrained schemas, we can work together to break free from cycles of unhelpful behavior, thinking, or relationships.

  • Intersectional Lens: I bring an intersectional perspective to therapy, recognising how overlapping aspects of your identity—such as race, gender, sexual orientation, and disability—affect your experiences. By honoring the complex layers of your identity, we create a space where you can feel fully seen, understood, and supported.

Together, we’ll build a collaborative and respectful relationship where you can feel safe to explore your difficulties, whether you are seeking brief, focused therapy or a longer-term, in-depth journey. Therapy with me isn’t only about managing symptoms; it’s about gaining self-understanding, freeing yourself from limiting patterns, and finding renewed purpose.

 

Whether you are in Hersham, Walton-on-Thames, KT12, or reaching out from afar, I invite you to contact me via email or text to begin this meaningful journey. Let’s create a space for growth, healing, and positive change, where your unique voice and experiences are honored every step of the way.
