Counselling and Personalised Support for Individuals
My name is Angela, and I provide in-person counselling services in Central and South London, as well as online and by telephone.
I have worked as a counsellor for over two decades and have run my private practice for fifteen of those years.
My work history covers a variety of sectors and organisations such as the NHS, local authorities, charities, the private sector, employment assistant programs, education and internationally.
Based on my lived experience, both socially and professionally, my work is responsive and sensitive when working with marginalised individuals from diverse backgrounds who have experienced the impact of socio-political oppression.
I am fully insured with Towergate Insurance.
BACP Accredited Counsellor
I know that seeking help and support through counselling is often daunting,
but it can often be the bravest next step.
Counselling with me is a Collaborative, Relational and Holistic Process
Our work together will be unique to you. You will better understand you, your thoughts and your feelings all of which inform behaviours and actions going forward.
This exploratory experience can help you connect with your authentic self, your felt senses and your inner voice.
Equipping you to approach future life decisions and choices, from a more informed position, with compassion for yourself and others, as we are all a work in progress.
Life issues, challenges and presentations
Anxiety, depression, loss, work, relationships, divorce and all life changes are some of the more common presentations.
I also consciously and proactively work with all aspects of maturity, accepting these as a normal chapter of life, menopause, andropause, intimacy, relationship changes.
I am here to support your planning and vision around what comes next for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Therapy can often be used as a generic description for all therapies and can also be typically associated with specific approaches.
Regardless, all therapy is intended to play a crucial role in supporting one’s mental health and wellness journey.
Both therapy and counselling involve conversing collaboratively with a qualified professional to understand, make meaning and find effective ways of how best to move forward and or make changes.
All sessions last 50 minutes and the number of sessions are jointly negotiated.
Each person’s therapeutic journey is different, so there is no concrete answer to this question.
The amount of time in therapy is a nuanced process, and it depends entirely on individual needs, experiences, objectives and establishing realistic expectations, so this will vary from person to person.
The length of engagement will be an ongoing discussion, and reviewed intermittently to make sure you are getting what you need.
My aim is always to try and offer an initial appointment within two weeks, from the initial contact.
Then based on our joint availability we can agree dates, times and the frequency of sessions going forward.
Some people may feel unsure or a little nervous about coming to counselling, particularly for the first time. So, getting someone to accompany you to the venue could be supportive.
However, I would suggest you arrange that they meet you after your session and you do something together then and you attend the session alone.
My reason for the above suggestion is that the counselling process is a progressive one, and sessions develop meaning and purpose when you are able to speak freely and confidentiality, without any type of self-censoring that might exist if another person is present in the room with us.
My only exception to this, is when I work with couples.
