Coaching Counselling in W9

Looking to learn more about yourself? Would you like to address a particular mood or thoughts that are consuming your mind? Our unconscious mind can influence us more than we think... "what you resist persists" If you are tired of feeling stuck, going around in circles trying to figure out how to make the “right” choices for yourself, feel more balanced and mindful, then is time to take actions. In our sessions we would work together exploring meaning beyond current and past situations to support awareness and inner freedom so you can achieve your goals and choose to become who you want to be .

I support Leaders and Entrepreneurs to let go of high-functioning anxiety so that they can feel calmer, confident and achieve a sense of balance between their personal and professional life, without burning out and without sacrificing their health and relationships. After 12+ years working in the therapy and coaching industry, having worked with 1000’s of clients including members of the global royal family and experiencing high-functioning anxiety and burnout myself many years ago, I discovered that to create freedom from high-functioning anxiety, a powerful combination of evidence-based therapies, tools and coaching is required.

I am a psychotherapist accredited UKCP experienced at treating emotional and psychological issues. Until 2021 I divided my time between private practice and the NHS, where I was Principal Psychotherapist for a large NHS Trust. Now in full time private practice I have extensive experience of assessing and treating people from a variety of backgrounds whose problems range from severe and complex to more easily treatable problems including: Self-esteem, personal development, depression, anxiety, addictions, self-harm, personality problems and family and relationship concerns.

As a clinical psychotherapist,​ I have over 10 year’s experience of working with patients and clients with many different struggles and difficulties. Trained as an integrative therapist, I work in a unique way that is based on your own individual needs. I believe that everyone is different and not every modality suits everyone. I know only too well how difficult life can be, yet uniquely different, we all suffer pain and loss in many similar ways. I feel truly humbled to work in this field and would be honoured to support you. You are not alone.

My therapeutic approach is largely transpersonal integrative, which means I am able to integrate other approaches into my work, including humanistic, CBT, solution-focused and expressive/art therapy. How I work is entirely dependent on the needs of the client I am working with. Transpersonal therapy is a holistic healing intervention that evolved from the humanistic work of American psychologist Abraham Maslow in the 1960s. I am a registered member of the UKCP, and I work in accordance with their ethical guidelines. I offer both face-to-face sessions as well as online therapy which is accessible to all regardless of location.

Is your mind hi-jacked by constant chatter ? Do you feel overwhelmed by emotions? Are you having a hard time sleeping at night or focusing on work/studying or other important people or matters? Do you have a hard time setting healthy boundaries? Sometimes life can seem overwhelming and make us feel stuck and unable to move at all which can lead to destructive behaviours or isolation.

In therapy I work with people to look at, understand and transform the disempowering beliefs they hold about life and themselves. People often find themselves stuck, lose meaning in their life, struggle with relationships, misplace a sense of who they are. I also offer a safe environment for people to look at their anger, including parental anger. I believe each one of us has got a collection of fears, anxieties and vulnerabilities collected since birth. No doubt we deploy any possible resource to defend against or ignore them. I find that psychotherapy's goal is showing a path to a lighter, more peaceful and vital way of being.

As a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Life Coach, I can help address ways in which past unresolved traumatic experiences may be affecting your life now. It may be difficulties in how you feel about yourself, managing anxiety, forming healthy personal and work relationships, early attachment issues, and relationship with food.

I am best suited to those who want to understand themselves and those around them - or to understand what has happened to them. This inquiry is often prompted by some degree of difficulty; illness, loss, trauma, breakdown etc. but it can equally arise out of a pervading sense of depression, purposelessness or malaise about life. When one has some understanding of oneself and how a situation came about then life becomes much easier to navigate - an adventure even. Every situation, every person, every path, is unique and so every therapy is entirely individual.

In these difficult times we can easily feel overwhelmed or struggle with life events. I believe that lasting change is achieved through a supportive, open and trusting therapeutic relationship between practitioner and client. An experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I can provide a reliable, safe space to talk through what is troubling you and support you in moving forward. I have a wide range of experience in helping people to grow emotionally and work through challenging situations. I have also worked with people from many different backgrounds and circumstances with a wide range of difficulties and issues.
