Counselling in E8

Many people ask themselves, do I need counselling? Do I need coaching? Do I need both? Do I need any? There is no right or wrong answer, and it may be that right now you don’t feel you need any counselling or coaching support. There are however, times when everyone may need a little helping hand, periods in life where things can feel tough, daunting, and the world feels hard to navigate. Whether you would like to seek support for a specific issue, want to make changes in your life or simply seek personal development, counselling and coaching offer a safe space for you to talk through things.

If you are experiencing difficulties relating to stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma you may wish to have a confidential space where you can explore these issues and find a way forward. You may be feeling alone, helpless, stuck and/or disconnected from those around you. I will work collaboratively with you, to see your distress within the context of your life, offering a therapeutic approach best suited to you. Together we can build on your strengths, skills and resources and help you to feel more empowered. My practice is led by scientific research and I have over 9yrs experience of providing therapy.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed, confused or stuck? I am here to help. I will listen and offer a safe place to explore your thoughts and help you make sense of feelings that are causing you stress. I have worked with many issues including trauma, anxiety and depression. I aim to make you feel comfortable so you can speak freely about what is on your mind.

It takes a lot of courage to accept that we are struggling and to take the first steps to seeking support. You are not alone and I am here to help. As a psychologist with wide ranging experience, I am trained in multiple approaches which help to find the right fit for those seeking support and to make therapy a meaningful endeavour. I am trained across the life span so can provide talking therapy for children, teens, adults and those who may have retired. I can also work individually, with couples or groups and with those who may have additional needs.

I am an experienced, passionate therapist who genuinely enjoys the process of helping people work through emotional difficulty. With a background in law and physical wellbeing, my approach to therapy is holistic in outlook; I always try to keep one foot in the real world as we explore your reasons for therapy.  Clients often present with a general sense of anxiety or depression. Perhaps current circumstances have proved overwhelming and they need support guiding themselves back. Or old behavioral patterns have re-emerged and this is proving distressing. By holding space for you to reflect, we can work through your issues together.

Are you feeling like your mental health is suffering or maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, struggling with anxiety or low mood, by your circumstances and would like to talk to someone outside your circle, if so, I am here to accompany you with that process. I am a qualified, therapeutic psychotherapist and a registered member of the BACP, bound by their code of ethics. I work with a diverse range of clients with an array of differing issues.

Do you feel that you can't talk to anyone? Do you feel that your feelings don't matter to those around you? Do you feel that you are tired of pretending you are strong and don't need help? I would love to help you talk about your feelings, get in touch with who you are and what you need from others in your life. I can help you build your inner resilience and learn to be compassionate to yourself. I can help you with your low moods, your anxiety, stress and to have more positive relationships with others.

Therapy can be a powerful tool for dealing with life’s challenges, working through difficult emotions and exploring what matters most to you so that you can move from surviving to flourishing. You may seek therapy because of a general sense of wanting more out of life, or it may be to for something more specific such as anxiety, depression, trauma, unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, a lack of direction, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, difficult emotions, or a lack of purpose.

As an experienced women's Integrative Psychotherapist & Coach, I will work alongside you to draw upon different approaches and techniques to tailor your sessions in a way that is supportive and helpful for you. I believe that in order for therapy to work, it cannot be forced and so every session takes the direction and pace that you feel most comfortable with.

You may be finding it hard to connect with the important things in your life right now. That may be your very own sense of self, your relationships with others, or simply your ability to enjoy things in the way that you would like. You may have been through something, or many things, and feel unsure how to make sense of this and how to move on with your life now. Or you may have noticed that you keep getting stuck in the same old patterns of thinking, or habits that don't work for you anymore. If any of these things sound familiar to you, then I may be able to help.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist offering individual therapy in Hackney. I am BACP accredited and provide both short-term and open-ended therapy. I offer a calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space in which to explore, make connections, and get support with difficult feelings. I have experience with a wide range of issues and a particular focus on working with clients around issues of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.

Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed, like you have reached the lowest point in your life, with pressure coming from all directions, finding it hard to get through the day. Maybe you have lost someone and are still struggling to come to terms with the loss. Or maybe you feel stuck in a relationship or job that doesn't make you happy anymore but you don't know how to find your way out. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, stressed as a result of a shocking event in your life. Or maybe you feel like you don't matter as much as others, like you don't fit in. Maybe you have tried everything to help yourself but nothing worked.

Life can often be unfair & destabilising, and starting therapy when things are difficult is a brave decision. Many of us grew up in environments where it was unusual to discuss emotions. Talking through the impact of life's challenges, naming what you would like to be different, and doing this in a protected space, can be surprisingly empowering. I am a passionate doctoral-trained Clinical Psychologist with clinical expertise in supporting people affected by stress related to academia/work, health problems, identity, friendships, relationships & changing life circumstances.

Perhaps you are feeling down, hurt or anxious - maybe you are unsure about the future of a relationship, bereaved or just feel that you are not living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to provide a warm, safe and non-judgemental space to support you on your journey towards healing, self-discovery, and development. As a Chartered Psychologist and Counselling Psychologist, I am committed to the well-being and development of all my clients.

I offer a warm and safe space to help with anxiety, panic attacks, or trauma issues you struggle to unravel on your own. Having a safe confidential space to feel heard can bring about great relief when experiencing relationship, family, or work stress issues. I can offer you empathy and kindness to process whatever is troubling you. I work by empowering you to make the changes you need to become happier and healthier in your life. And whatever that may look like for you I am here to work with you to explore your distress and help you with the insights and tools to feel better mentally and emotionally.

I provide an initial session free of charge so that we can learn about each other and you can experience therapy from a practical perspective without the financial commitment. If we think we can work together, I offer either weekly or fortnightly sessions, usually for the same day and time, but I am also happy to work a little more flexibly if you need.

I am an experienced Psychotherapeutic Counsellor offering counselling, open ended psychotherapy and couples counselling. You may be seeking therapy because you are currently feeling stuck or dissatisfied with life, looking for resolution around a particular issue, in the midst of a crisis, or in need of a space to unburden your thoughts and feelings in a safe, warm and non-judgmental setting. Some of the things that counselling and psychotherapy can help with are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, existential questions, identity, bereavement, addictions, low self-esteem, traumatic experiences, abuse, being highly sensitive.
