Counselling in AL1
It may not be visible but you are suffering inside, and you have taken the first courageous step, seeking a therapist. Life may seem OK and up to now you have managed but something inside is stirring, and its hard to carry on as you have been. You have been judged, not heard and felt worthless or invisible, and you may feel anxious, angry, depressed, detached, frightened, vulnerable, low self worth, unmotivated and unable to trust your own judgement right now. I believe you have an innate ability to be more, and can support you to work through these feelings. Take the next brave step if you are ready and call for a consultation.

Are you feeling low, lost or anxious? Are you looking for a supportive therapist who will listen to you and help you make sense of what’s going on in your life? I work with people who have anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues and depression, among other difficulties. Sometimes these emerged after a loss or setback, or maybe they are feelings that have always been there and now is the time to tackle them. Perhaps it's hard to even say why, or why now. Whichever it is, I’ll support you, listen to you, and help you understand what’s going on right now, how it relates to the past, and how you can make changes for the future.

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Or simply tired of pretending to be "okay"? ..............................................................................................................................................Life can feel incredibly heavy when you’re carrying it alone. Whether you are navigating a specific crisis or just feel a lingering sense that something isn't right, you don't have to figure it out by yourself. I offer a warm, genuine, and down-to-earth space where you can finally be heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are.

Are you experiencing a challenge that feels too difficult to cope with? Or maybe you are dealing with overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression? Have you suffered a loss or bereavement and are feeling sad? Are you managing these emotional challenges with unhelpful patterns of behaviour? Having experienced some difficulties in my own life, I understand how hard it can be to take the first step towards therapy. I offer a safe and confidential space where, together, we can work with the issues that are unique to you. I work holistically by using a variety of therapy approaches that will help support you in finding a way forward.

Whether you're struggling with anxiety, low mood, life transitions, past trauma, or a sense of being stuck, I’m here to support you in making sense of what you’re feeling. My approach is gentle yet reflective, helping you explore how your past may be shaping your present—and how deeper self-understanding can open the way to lasting change. Therapy invites us to pause and reflect on what truly matters. It's a chance to explore not only what’s difficult right now, but also past experiences and deeper longings. Together, we’ll look at emotional patterns, experiences of feeling trapped, and how these might be holding you back.

Lots of profiles aren't there? The paradox of choice sets in; how do I choose the right person? IS there a right person? And what even is therapy anyway? My approach is collaborative, active, and holistic. I offer a reliable, confidential and non-judgmental space to help you, your inner thoughts and feelings and support you in times of transition, distress and emotional need. We all have the right to be heard and seen, sometimes we can get stuck along the journey of life and encounter challenging thoughts and emotions. Experience the freedom of living authentically, a life of meaning and joy...

I am very good at treating people with Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders, as well as those with traumatic experiences. I apply a very modern and effective type of dynamic psychotherapy called Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). I work on repressed feelings and emotions and help you to get rid of the pain and suffer to become a mature personality. For most people, psychological stress and unresolved traumas are so overwhelming that often leads to many other problems, such as low performance, low confidence, unpleasant encounters and a gradual destruction of well-being. If left untreated, these psychological issues can be transferred from one generation to the next, due to its lasting effects on children. Modern treatments in psychotherapy can help you overcome many types of psychological problems. People suffering from these problems can be helped to regain their sense of pride, efficiency, and effectiveness. My clients need to be well motivated, and cooperative.

I specialise in working with people with anxiety and depression, particularly in the work environment and university student life. Depression and anxiety are often symptoms of deeper distress, so learning to understand the roots of the immediate problems are important in the healing process, whilst developing healthy ways to cope and manage symptoms for reducing or alleviating immediate distress.
