Thinking about starting therapy can feel daunting — but you don’t have to take that step alone.
One of the most important parts of beginning therapy is finding someone you feel safe with. Someone you can trust, who listens without judgment, and who creates a space where you can just be yourself.
That’s what I aim to offer. A calm, confidential environment where you can talk freely and feel truly heard.
I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), which means I work within a trusted ethical framework designed to protect and support you. My approach is always gentle, respectful, and centred around you — your pace, your needs, your story.
Alongside my private practice, I also work with two UK charities. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through organisations such as Age Concern, AXA Health, MindWorks, and the Wandsworth Bereavement Counselling Service (NHS). This experience has helped me work with people facing all sorts of life’s challenges, from many different walks of life.
I’m trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic therapy. This means we can explore what’s going on for you now, while also gently looking at past experiences that may still be affecting how you feel today.
If you’re thinking about taking that first step, I’d be happy to talk things through.
You’re very welcome to get in touch whenever you feel ready.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

tricia is understanding, listens and responds.
Tricia has been a tremendous help in guiding me through a difficult phase in my life - she listened closely to my concerns and fears and always found the rights word to encourage or push me if needed - I have gained a better understanding of myself, my earlier mistakes in life and have regained confidence in myself and my strengths.
Tricia has listened and has always advised things in my best interests. Tricia listens and actions advice that I feel has helped a great deal with my mental health. No matter if I just feel like chatting or I want to open up Tricia has always made me feel better after my sessions and I see my life progressing in positive way
Tricia has been so supportive and understanding of all the changes and emotions I have been experiencing and is a fantastic help to what I’m experiencing and helping me understand myself
I have only been speaking to Tricia for a few weeks and feel like I'm getting somewhere with her help. I'm so glad I chose her to be my therapist very understanding and supportive
Excellent listener and very compassionate
Tricia is a wonderful therapist, she is thoughtful and supportive and really helped me work through some issues I’d previously struggled with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for support.
I find working with Tricia really helpful. She has an ability to get me to open up even if I feel I want to close off about a topic. At no point do I feel stupid or worthless, and I come away from my sessions with a lot to think about but in a positive light.
Tricia is amazing!! She takes her time to understand your situation and present it back to you in a logical way, with no judgment. I feel better about the issues I has after discussing with her. I would highly recommend Tricia to anyone.
Thoughtful, caring and a good balance of listening and asking the correct questions to make me think
Tricia is a great therapist. She’s incredibly easy to talk to - a wonderful listener. She’ll take what I’m saying/exploring in the session and present it back to me in an understandable format. She’s very understanding and welcoming.
