Dialectical Behaviour (DBT) Counselling in SW12

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. As an Accredited therapist with 21 years of experience, I can help you develop different thinking styles, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way. My focus is you, & I tailor the type of therapy to suit the individual. You have a unique story and whether the difficulties are with depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, or childhood experiences we will work together to address them.

I am specialised in supporting children (ages 4-17) from a well-being, emotional development, and behavioural perspective. I am here to provide compassionate support and guidance for both the child, and their family through challenging times. Whether your child is facing a difficult transition, struggling with impulse control, or simply not feeling like themselves, I can help. My goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can express themselves freely and find the support they need to thrive and move through this time of difficulty.

I am a Clinical Psychologist skilled in providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions to adults, young people and families. I am currently working as a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in South London. I have experience providing comprehensive assessment and intervention to those who have experiencing a range of mental health difficulties including complex trauma, anxiety and depression as well as supporting parents and carers. I also have experience providing consultation and support to professionals and carers experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue.

I'm a Psychologist and Therapist registered with the British Psychology Society and a BANT/CNHC Nutritional Therapist. I'm a person-centred and integrative practitioner, focusing on helping you to build self-compassion, self-understanding, self-empowerment and inner transformation, through a variety of techniques and strategies aligned with what you want and how you would like to feel and become. With me, you will be encouraged to build new life stories, narratives, choices, habits and behaviours that will not only optimise your physical and mental health but boost your inner happiness and resilience.

Taking the first step to connect with a therapist takes courage, and I commend you for considering this journey towards self-discovery and healing. I'm here to support you. In a world where navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, or familial struggles can feel overwhelming, my tailored approach aims to provide understanding and personalised support. Whether it's addressing stress, trauma, bereavement, LGBTQ+ challenges, or bolstering self-esteem - our collaborative journey focuses on exploring your experience and crafting strategies to empower your resilience and growth.
