Individual Psychotherapy for Adults


I offer individual psychotherapy for adults who want to better understand themselves and make meaningful, lasting change.
 

People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, or unsure how to move forward. Together, we explore what is happening emotionally and relationally, while also developing practical strategies for day-to-day life.
 

Therapy can be short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs and goals. 

 

Areas I Work With

 

I have clinical experience supporting adults with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, including:

  • Anxiety, worry, and overthinking – chronic worry, panic, social anxiety, or difficulty switching off

  • Low mood and depression – persistent sadness, loss of motivation, numbness, or hopelessness

  • Stress, burnout, and emotional overwhelm – difficulty managing pressures and daily demands

  • Relationship and communication difficulties – conflict, withdrawal, insecurity, or struggles to express needs

  • Shame, self-criticism, and low self-esteem – understanding harsh self-judgment and fostering self-compassion

  • Identity and sexuality-related concerns – exploring belonging, self-concept, or internal conflict

  • Life transitions and role changes – adapting to change, loss, or new responsibilities

  • Trauma and relational trauma – support for past events or long-standing patterns affecting emotional wellbeing

 

If you’re unsure whether your situation fits these areas, we can explore it together during an initial consultation.

 

What to Expect


Therapy is structured around your needs and goals. Sessions typically include:

  • 50-minute appointments

  • Usually weekly (unless otherwise agreed)

  • Online across the UK or in person in Banstead

  • Goals agreed collaboratively

  • Progress reviewed periodically

 

Fees


My fee is £85 per session.

 

A small number of reduced-fee places are available for clients on lower incomes, which can be discussed during assessment.

 

Insurance & Bupa Referrals


I accept referrals from Bupa and other health insurers. Please provide your pre-authorisation number in advance and confirm any policy excess.
 

Any excess must be paid directly to me at least 24 hours before the first session to receive appointment details or Zoom links.

 

Supervision for Therapists

 

I provide individual clinical supervision for IPT & CBT psychotherapists and trainees.

 

My supervision style is reflective, steady and grounded in psychodynamic, interpersonal and cognitive-behavioural models.

 

We explore clinical material, therapeutic formulation, your emotional responses and any relational dynamics that arise in the work.

 

Supervision can be:

 

Ongoing or short-term
 

Monthly or more frequent
 

Online or in person in Banstead

 

If you’d like to discuss whether my supervision approach fits your needs, you’re welcome to contact me.
