Do you feel stuck in survival mode? Perhaps you are aware that life has alot more to offer, but you struggle to break free from deep rooted patterns? Do you notice chronic anxiety or a sense of fear that you just cannot shake? Many of us are functioning on a day to day level, whilst carrying trauma patterns that are holding us back - and which might be getting in the way of our dreams and accomplishments... I believe everyone seeking therapy deserves a unique approach that is tailored to suit their individual needs and I work with people from all kinds of backgrounds and all walks of life...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anxiety around intimacy, relationships, or sexual concerns is incredibly common, and the overarching impact that these issues can have on your health and happiness is often underestimated and undervalued. Forming meaningful and honest connections with people including yourself, and feeling empowered to truly accept and project how you feel, good and bad, is challenging with sex and relationships being no exception. Shedding light on the unconscious and bringing new perspectives to your world can be the seed from which healing and personal development grow.

I am a Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist practicing in-person in Hackney and Shoreditch, East London. I specialise in working with teenagers and young adults struggling with change. Perhaps you are finding the transition to university, sixth form, college, or secondary school challenging. Or maybe you are questioning your gender, sexuality, religious or cultural identity. You might be a parent who is reading this because your child is having a hard time and you aren't sure where to turn. Change and uncertainty can be terrifying, but having the right support can help you cope, or even thrive.

Therapy can be a powerful tool for addressing the effects of trauma and helping individuals heal. The approach to trauma therapy is deeply rooted in creating a safe and supportive environment where healing can unfold at a comfortable pace.​ Understanding the neurobiological effects of trauma is crucial to effectively implementing trauma-informed practice. This knowledge informs strategies that promote safety, trust, and resilience and prevent re-traumatisation. In my practice, neuroscience is applied to support healing in the aftermath of trauma.

My therapy offers couples and individuals a safe space in which to reflect on and discuss concerns, explore different perspectives and consider ways to resolve difficulties. Difficulties, to name a few may relate to committing to a relationship, moving in together, communication breakdown, not feeling valued and heard, infidelity, separation, divorce, sudden illness and life stages. Sexual problems like vaginismus, pain on penetration, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, one partner wanting more sex than the other could also impact the relationship.

I often work with people who, despite their best efforts, feel as though they are working against themselves when it comes to their goals and relationships. Even though they deeply want change, something keeps holding them back. This inner conflict can show up as anxiety, depression, OCD, intrusive thoughts, low self-worth, or a general sense of feeling stuck and unfulfilled. In therapy, I help you to gently uncover these hidden reasons, emotional conflicts, and resistances you may not be fully aware of. I offer a warm, steady, and non-judgmental space to explore these patterns at your own pace.

I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples. I offer a warm, supportive space to explore and work through whatever is on your mind, compassionately and with self-respect. Some emotional states can be difficult. And yet I believe that, if explored in a non-judgmental and caring way, they can release important learning about ourselves. They may point to entrenched ways of being that no longer serve us or beliefs that burden us in some way. Emotional pain can sometimes be a messenger that comes to highlight needs we have neglected or forgotten parts of our self.

Approach Counselling & Coaching
Psychotherapist, MA, MBACP Accred
London E1
My main approach is to encourage you to explore your feelings and take responsibility for your thoughts and actions. As I work in a way that empowers the client, I always work with what you present. Bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief, jealousy, sadness, shame and pain can become very overwhelming.The opportunity to express them can make it much easier to understand yourself and others. As I acknowledge your feelings and respect you as a person in your own right, you gain self-respect and a sense of being valued. This leads to building trust between counsellor and client, which is an essential part of the process.

Therapy can be described in various ways – an exploration of the past to help shed light on and understand the present, a way to free oneself from the bonds of past experiences or to process who and how we are in the context of our relationships with others and ourselves. Although all of the above and more can be true, I believe therapy will always be a personal experience and will depend on your individual circumstances. My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate your difficulties, helping you develop coping strategies, support networks and discover your inner strengths.

Certain life events, transitions, or longstanding struggles can cause our usual ways of coping to break down, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and extremely distressed. To continue to function, drugs, alcohol, food, self harm, sex, social media, a depressive state or abusive behaviour can be used to numb the distress or stand in for what feels missing. But this often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, anger or blame – whether of oneself or others. It can feel like being trapped in a loop of unsatisfactory or harmful relationships, or like reaching a dead-end, with confusion about finding a meaningful path ahead.

People seek therapy for a many reasons. Perhaps following relational wounding in child or adulthood, you wish to process the impacts of these wounds. Or, having identified habitual relational patterns, you now seek relational change and confidence. You may struggle with unwelcome thoughts or emotions or negative sense of self. We can explore how these impact your choices and your body and behaviour responses as you seek new approaches to life issues. Perhaps you are struggling with loss or unwelcome changes in your life and want to consider how to live with new realities. I offer a safe space, to be heard, valued and accepted.

The world facing our children and young people today is an extremely complicated one. Dealing with an unpredictable, and at times, chaotic environment, can test our mental and physical systems. The seeds of worry can be sown in a myriad of ways but nearly always ends up with the young person internalising their problems, which then manifest in increasingly problematic ways such as OCD, Tics, Self-Harming, and body image issues. Underlying all of these symptoms is a powerfully negative view of themselves which, if unchecked, can become overwhelming.
