I have lived in London for over twenty years. Prior to moving to the UK, I spent my growing-up years in Canada, and lived in Hong Kong for four years after university. I have met many people from all over the world and I have come to realise that underneath the apparent differences we actually have much in common, an intrinsic nature that connects us all. I love to speak with people and to understand what they are experiencing. Counselling is a very natural profession for me. I consider it a privilege when people open up to me, and to be part of their unfolding process.
With over ten year’s experience in the field of health and wellbeing, my approach is non-judgmental and compassionate, with an understanding of people that is continually deepening. I provide a safe and confidential space where you are free to express anything that comes up for you, knowing that you will be supported.
As an experienced therapist, informed by professional and lived experience, I am able to hold the space for deep and sometimes difficult exploration, to support re-connection to your authentic self. I work within an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counselling model, trained in a number of different theoretical strands, giving me the flexibility to adapt to what each client is calling for. You are assured of a transparent, dynamic and responsive approach.
I offer online sessions (via zoom) or in-person sessions from a practice based in London Mayfair. If you, or someone close to you, is in need of that extra support, please do get in touch.

Client Feedback
"Lavone supported me in developing a positive relationship with my own emotions. Lavone was incredible at adapting her appraoch to my personality and mood and helping me navigate some very persistent and (what felt like unmoveable) issues."
"Lavone is a wonderfully safe pair of hands to help in times of difficulty and I think everyone would benefit from her warmth and compassion"
"I had tried counselling a few times before my sessions with Lavone but my sessions with Lavone were the first time I fully felt the positive impact of counselling"
"We addressed some very heavy issues but Lavone always approached the topic with patience, care and completely without judgement."
