GROVE COUNSELLING

How I Can Help You
I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can freely express your thoughts and feelings. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, a sense of loss or guilt, or low mood, are a couple who need help with aspects of their relationship, or simply seeking personal growth, my approach will be tailored to meet your unique needs.

My Approach
I work in an integrative psychodynamic/person-centred way, but in addition draw from a range of therapeutic techniques, including CBT, and Existential therapy. You are at the centre of this, I ensure our work together is collaborative and supportive. My goal is to empower you with insights and coping strategies that can bring balance, healing, and resilience into your life.

Couples Counselling

For couples, whether your problems are large or small, whether your relationship is in crisis, or you are merely looking to pre-empt any problems you foresee, I am able to help. We will explore areas such as attachment styles, communication styles, parenting styles if appropriate, issues around sex, money and extended family, cultural differences, gender differences and neurodiversity, taking a prescriptive approach to see how your relationship can be improved or repaired.

Anxiety

Anxiety can manifest in many forms—racing thoughts, constant worry, sweating panic attacks, or physical symptoms like tension and fatigue. While it’s a natural response to stress, for many, anxiety becomes overwhelming and disruptive.

I specialise in helping clients manage anxiety, whether it’s generalised, social, or triggered by specific life challenges. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to determine what your anxieties are, identify the avoidance strategies that you deploy, consciously or otherwise, and develop alternative narratives which allow you to manage or eliminate these anxieties, developing in the process practical tools to regain control. Through a supportive, collaborative approach, I aim to help you reduce anxiety’s hold on your life and restore a sense of calm and balance. My blog post here gives an insight into how anxiety manifests in the brain, how it can spiral out of control, and why CBT is effective at managing it.

Free initial consultation
I offer a free 20-minute consultation, either by phone, online, or face-to-face at offices in Battersea (near Clapham Junction), or Clapham (just off the High Street). There is no commitment, it’s important that you are comfortable with embarking on therapy, and that you are confident that I am the right therapist for you.
