Thank you for reading my profile here on Psychology Today. I am a Counsellor and CBT Psychotherapist working in private practice in Pinner, NW London. I am an Accredited practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also an NHS trained, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) accredited with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I am a registered Hypnotherapist with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR).

Does life feel like it is getting on top of you? Could you benefit from someone to talk to? Would you like to explore your thoughts and feelings?. At times life can be stressful and challenging. Counselling could be the first steps which allows you to explore your thoughts, feelings and your behavior I offer a safe and supportive space to adults and young people where you can explore any worries or difficulties in the strictest confidence.

I provide psychological treatment to clients suffering from a wide range of difficulties and conditions, including Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety, Interpersonal problems, PTSD, Complex trauma and Anger management. Some of my clients may suffer from longterm difficulties, such as struggling to manage strong emotions and struggle to maintain close and significant relationships with others. Other clients may present with specific difficulties, such as career changes, family tensions or facing periods of particular stress. I also work with parents, who are struggling to bond with their children.

I work with people experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties. I have 20yrs+ clinical experience in the NHS & private settings. I work part-time providing Expert opinion in family and criminal proceedings. My training is in evidence-based psychological therapies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. I am able to integrate these models to embody a compassionate approach that is tailored to the individual. My specialist interest is in Schema Therapy, which is an integrative therapy that aims to treat personality & mental health concerns that do not always respond to other treatments.

You might be experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, situational dilemma, unhappiness, difficulty in relationships or even may be abuse of some kind. Through therapy and talking to me in a safe environment, I might be able to help you to understand your inner self and work with your uncomfortable feelings. The promise is not an instant solution to all your presenting issues or an instant happiness but the goal would be to achieve near enough to live a content life. My aim to work with the clients is to explore their own strengths, abilities as well to acknowledge the feelings and thoughts they might be going through.

How would you feel if I told you that you can stop feeling scared, unsafe and overwhelmed ? That you could connect with those around you in an authentic and meaningful way, rather than masking yourself because you fear losing them ? I can tell you this as I have supported many people like yourself, living with complex trauma to let go of the patterns that are keeping them low, anxious, dissociated, paranoid and lonely. I work with people just like you to firstly understand what has happened to them and how the strategies they are currently using have come to be. I then work to introduce new ways of being in the world.

Relationships can be difficult, miscommunication & misattunement of emotions can create patterns of behaviour that can lead to a lack of connectiveness & blocks to intimancy. This can trigger a fight or flight response & the cycle continues. In therapy you can learn to communicate your care seeking & care giving needs in a clear way & change the relationship to a more secure & attuned base. You'll learn the skills to listen to each other & navigate the ruptures & repairs that are part of all relationships. I will work to provide a safe & non biased space for you to resolve them together & decide the best way forward.

Hello :) I am qualified as a Clinical Psychologist. I have worked in mental health for over 10 years, with many individuals facing different challenges and life events (including low mood, worry, loss, phobias, psychosis and traumas). I believe therapy can offer a space to make sense of your experiences and the ways in which you respond, reconnect with your resources, values and hopes, move past painful memories and reflect on your strengths. I am committed to working collaboratively in a respectful, non judgemental way. My approach emphasises the relationship between distress and the world we live in.

I have worked in mental health for 25 years and been qualified as a Clinical Psychologist for nearly 20 years with experience in both the public and private sectors. I am experienced in working with adolescents, adults, couples and families across a wide range of psychological difficulties and have undertaken specific training in a variety of therapeutic approaches including; Schema therapy, Cognitive Behavioual Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy and Systemic Family Therapy. We can work together to find what approach will work best for you.

Have you been entertaining the idea of therapy for some time, or is this an impulse search? Have you asked yourself questions such as: “Why me?”, “Who am I?”, “How did I get here?”, “Is this the rest of my life?”, "Is this really happening to me", "Why does this always happen to me?", “How do I get where I want to be?” Have you or others have labelled yourself as "down", "depressed", "anxious" or "stressed"? Are you worried about feeling a certain way, or not living the life you were meant to live? Do you carry on your shoulders more than you bargained for and feel you can't share with anyone? I am here for you.

My mantra, "Once we face the things we fear, they no longer have power over us!" So well done for taking your initial steps towards change. We get stuck within our own worlds (especially our past), fearful that we will not be heard or even understood. We find it difficult to dismiss 'noises' that disable our focus on matters we need to change. Though we acknowledge we are fearful, therefore flooding our mindset. We find sanctuary in others peoples words, feelings, emotions, thoughts & continue to dishonor our own as we are fearful for what we mite have to face - demeaning our needs seem so much easier to do than to confront them?

I believe psychotherapy is an opportunity to connect with your Inner-Spirit through a process of reflection and self-awareness. I have a heart-centred approach to therapy and provide a warm, safe environment essential for the healing process to unfold. I work in from an integrative approach using the methods that are suited to the individual needs of each person. By taking a Mind, Body and Soul approach to therapy I can provide a space where you can re-connect to your Inner-Self, your essence, truth, joy, compassion, and sense of aliveness. This authenticity will enables you to reconnect with your Soul Nature.

You are worthy of living the life you want to lead. Together, we can move towards balanced mental well-being. I can support you towards managing and improving mental health challenges you face. My short-term goal for you is to help you understand your struggles and figure out how to move forward. In the long-term, I want to help you build an internal foundation for well-being and emotional healing. Attending to your mental health shouldn’t be a luxury, it’s a necessity. My purpose is to help you live a more meaningful and engaged life.

I am an experienced psychologist in providing psychology therapies and behavioural change interventions to promote mental wellbeing and healthy behaviours. I worked in a wide range of psychology contexts including clinical mental health, forensics, health, communities, and universities.

Throughout my clinical practice, I specialise in working with people presenting difficulties in mental health and physical health, as well as in major life adjustments/transitions (e.g. bereavement, relationships, settling in a new environment).

It could help you to achieve lasting and fulfilling change in relationships with others but also your most important relationship, the one you have with yourself.
