Men's Issues Counselling in E11

I'm a BPC registered psychotherapist with over 15 years experience working with people from diverse backgrounds, privately and in the NHS. I work extensively with people going through crisis and significant life changes, and have expertise working with issues of identity, culture, immigration, reolcation and masculinity. People tend to see me when they are struggling with their mood, low self-esteem, anger, loneliness, anxiety and stress. You might be having difficulties in relationships, in your career, with sexuality or addiction, or are troubled by earlier experiences or feel stuck and want to think about your life more broadly.

If you are seeking counselling and psychotherapy, it may be because you are dealing with a specific issue or going through a particularly difficult phase for which you need support. You may have tried to resolve things by yourself but somehow, it didn’t quite work out. You may have found yourself in the all-too-familiar place of slipping back to your old patterns of thoughts, feeling and behaviors despite all the promises and repeated attempts at changing them. Or you may feel that we are doing OK, presenting to the world a well-functioning mask of personal efficiency or professional success, but deep feeling empty and alone.

In our sessions I work in partnership with you the client to establish your therapy goals and explore your personal strengths and resources to identify how they can be best utilised to achieve these goals. Attention is therefore given to developing a picture of the ‘solution’ and exploring the resources to achieve it. Within us all lies the key for change and the fact that you have identified a need for counselling is the first and hardest step towards enabling this change.

I am a Therapeutic Coach and Mentor. Being human is to experience emotions; happiness, sadness, love, anxiousness, low mood, fear, frustration, grief and hope. All of these emotions add to the fullness of life. For some of us, the negative emotions become overwhelming which makes it difficult to cope. I offer an opportunity for you to step back to review and unravel the complexities that are causing distress. It is a safe space for you to express your truth, fears, hopes and dreams and to create a way to achieve the life you want to live. Thus we can work together to explore different ways to move beyond difficult times.

I provide a warm and confidential space to support you in finding your own way. Often, to give voice to what's troubling you offers relief. We'll also discover and affirm your talents, achievements and strengths, as we travel the road to growth and insight. I don't take the 'blank screen' approach, meaning I don't stare at you in silence. If I don't share my thoughts with you, the therapy is only taking place in my head. I value you for the unique individual you are. This kind of environment can be rare to find, and powerful to experience. Clients have said that they feel supported by me, and that they've gained fresh insights.

As a highly experienced and compassionate therapist and supervisor, I'm committed to helping you navigate the complex landscape of relationships, intimacy, sexual identity, and trauma. With over 10 years of combined experience in the field, I bring a wealth of knowledge and empathy to each session, fostering an environment of growth and self-discovery.

I am a BACP qualified therapist who has worked extensively with a diverse range of clients and with highly regarded organisations for over a 13 years. I can help with an extensive range of issues including stress, loss, bereavement, anxiety, relationships, self harm, depression, marital issues, divorce, redundancy, mental health disorders, work related issues, abuse, identity, parenthood, menopause and life challenges. I provide an empathic, non judgemental and safe space for clients. I have an impressive professional and educational background. I provide online, telephone and mobile therapy as well as a face to face service.

Here at Mynd Care Psychotherapies we offer a culturally sensitive and diverse evidence based psychological therapy to adults, young people and families. All our clinicians are registered members of the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapists (BABCP) and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) in the united Kingdom. Our therapy is available in English, Arabic, Urdu, Gujrati and other languages based on the client preference.

I am qualified to work with people with anxiety, bereavement and loss, depression; identity confusion and change; coming out; self-esteem and shame, trauma and post-traumatic stress and also survivors of sexual abuse. I work with both individuals and couples. I am experienced in working with young people and adults and with people in a range of relationship styles including monogamous, polyamorous and open relationships. I work with all members of LGBT+ and those who do not identify as such but are questioning or exploring this aspect of their sexuality, regardless of their sexual orientation.

Fear, anxiety, grief, loss and traumatic experiences can get in the way of self-acceptance and self-compassion. Without this, it is difficult to move forward with life and live well in the here and now. I work with clients to live well, whatever their circumstances and however they define living well. Our work together motivates changes in perspective, which leads to changes in feelings, thoughts, choices and behaviour. Although it is not a linear trajectory these changes can and do happen, with the right support, even in the most challenging of circumstances.

You might be feeling anxious or low. Life events such as a loss or bereavement or any kind of very troubling experiences such as relationship or work problems may be causing you distress. Issues from your past may be causing you difficulty today or, you may simply have a more general feeling of not being as content with your life as you would wish to be but are unsure of the reasons why. Counselling can help you to explore and understand what is going on for you and how your life experiences may have affected you and help you find more satisfying ways of living. Counselling helps thousands of people in this way.

I am a Counselling Psychologist with extensive experience of delivering evidence-based treatments in the NHS, within voluntary organisations and in private practice. I have worked with individuals and groups experiencing mental health difficulties including depression, a variety of anxiety disorders, bereavement and addiction.

We are always striving to keep all of our responsibilities in balance - work, relationships, our own expectations, and those of others. This constant juggling doesn't leave much time to process our emotions. If you come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, wanting a space to explore something, or simply wanting to talk, I am here to help. Perhaps you have noticed patterns in your behavior or dynamics within relationships, intimate or family, that you feel stuck in, but you want to make a change. Together, we can build confidence through self-awareness, kindness, compassion, and psychoeducation.

Anxiety has a complex Interplay with Self-Doubt, Imposter Syndrome, and Low Self-Esteem. It is recognised as a multifaceted condition that often intertwines if not treated, creating a complex psychological profile that can significantly impact an individual’s daily functioning and overall quality of life and lead to panic attacks and other setbacks. Characterised by tension, worried thoughts, and physical changes like increased blood pressure. It’s a natural response to stress or danger. When persistent and excessive, it can evolve into an anxiety disorder, affecting nearly one-third of all adults.

I am a Clinical Psychologist working with adults in private practice (www.atimeandspace.com) and children and families in NHS practice. I support people to navigate a broad range of problems such as low mood, anxiety, burnout and stress, bereavement, loss, life transitions, fertility issues, parenting challenges, the effects of traumatic experiences, living with health conditions and new diagnoses, difficulty making decisions or feeling without a sense of purpose in life. I support people to feel they are living in a way that fits with their values and to depart from ways of being that no longer suit them.

Whether you are having momentary difficulties or are facing long-standing challenges, starting therapy can feel daunting. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive space to explore a range of difficulties including low mood and depression, OCD, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, as well as challenges within relationships. Other interests/specialities include racial and intergenerational trauma, difficulties associated with becoming and being a parent (including the perinatal period), as well as work-related challenges. I am now offering ADHD assessment to adults.

Sometimes, life in general can seem overwhelming, and there is a need to have a space that is non-judgemental, empathic and holding; to express fears, anxities, concerns and problems. I offer to you, a listening ear, a warm and welcoming presence that will promote an environment which makes you feel comfortable to talk.

I have been working as a therapist for five years, working with a diverse client base and range of presenting issues including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and more. I have extensive experience working with Black and Asian clients, as well as with those identifying as LGBTQIA+ and/or neurodiverse.
