Counselling and Psychotherapy
Counselling and psychotherapy are often considered interchangeable therapies that overlap in many ways. The key difference between those terms is that counselling usually refers to a brief treatment that centres around behaviour patterns or current problems. Psychotherapy, however, focuses on working with clients at a deeper level.
It is essential to know that there is no legally enforced regulation of counselling and psychotherapy in the UK. This means that individuals seeking therapy, whether for themselves or someone else, should conduct thorough research to ensure they receive approved treatment so they can make informed decisions regarding their mental health and well-being.
Services and Location
All sessions and services are Neurodivergent-Affirmative. My private practice is based in Chiswick, West London, and I offer the following therapy.
Individual Therapy is a short-term or open-ended exploratory and solution-oriented approach available online, by phone, and face-to-face.
Walk-and-talk Therapy combines the benefits of physical movement with the therapeutic process, offering a more relaxed and natural setting for reflection. Walking in nature can help reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote clearer thinking, making it easier to explore difficult emotions and break through feelings of stuckness.
Couple Therapy In some relationships, one or both partners may be neurodivergent, have additional mental health dimensions, or have cultural backgrounds, all of which create unique dynamics. As a neurodivergent couple therapist, I support these couples in recognising and addressing patterns that escalate to conflict and helping them move towards healing. If both partners are committed to repairing their relationship, I guide them in rebuilding a healthy, intimate connection, fostering a deeper sense of understanding and mutual respect. I use psychoeducation to help partners manage their expectations and experiences more effectively, enabling them to teach each other coping strategies and recognise the moments when love truly happens.
Therapy for Students (+18) is a facilitative approach focusing on self-exploration and resilience-building. It was developed to support a learning process, as every student benefits from a neurodiverse approach that prioritizes harnessing an individual’s strengths over fixating on perceived shortcomings.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy helps address stressors and traumas while respecting that neurodivergence is not something to be "fixed." Understanding the unique ways neurodivergent brains process information, we tailor the therapy to your sensory needs, communication style, flexibility or creativity. If traditional techniques like eye movements aren't effective, we adapt with alternative approaches to align with your way of perceiving the world.
Rates
I offer open-ended therapy, meaning I see people for short-term time, limited work and longer-term therapy to meet all needs. All sessions are 50 minutes long. Sessions from £80 per session. A sliding scale may be available.
