Counselling in E9

I am a qualified integrative counsellor and coach, trained in Person-Centred, Existential, Gestalt, Cognitive Behavioural, Solution Focused and Psychdynamic approaches. I have experience supporting clients through COVID-19 changes, grief, trauma, sexual trauma, abuse, sexually harmful behaviour, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, difficulties relationships, alcohol and substance user, and working with neurodiversity.

Psychotherapies move in and out of fashion as their claims and practises come in for reassessment and challenge. Psychoanalysis, the grandfather of all "talking cures", is no exception but it does seem as if, once again, it is having its moment as new studies and research offer evidence that it can provide for a change that endures. And it does so without providing the assurances of the quick-fix or the painless option but through a close and attentive listening and analysis of the nuances of your ties to others, the crucial relationships that might form (or undo) us.

I believe that self-awareness and authenticity are key in creating deeper and more satisfying connections. In our therapeutic space, I will offer you a safe, open and compassionate space and I will invite you to explore aspects of yourself and how you relate to others. We will look at the stories that you’ve created over the years about yourself, how they impact the way you feel nowadays and bring about new perspectives that could help you feel less constricted moving forwards.

You may be at a point in your life where you feel stuck, unable to clearly progress, and in need of honing your focus to move forward. You’re driven to make positive change and grow as an individual or in your discipline, but you’re not sure how to. I’m here as a personal trainer for your mind. I see athletes holistically where performance and achievement are just smaller aspects of a bigger, more important picture. Through my experience and training I know that if I help develop you as an individual, everything else follows.

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. This means that I am trained to work with people of all ages, using a range of psychological techniques. If you might benefit from having time with someone who can offer you an open space to talk things through, I may be able to help you. I offer assessments and therapeutic interventions to people who are experiencing some kind of psychological discomfort that prevents them from living life to its fullest. I have worked in a range of settings, including both mainstream and specialist schools, community mental health teams, secure inpatient wards, forensic units, the NHS and Social Care.

I have worked for over 20 years as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist. My background and influence has come from working in a therapeutic/Crisis Centre; a residential community setting, where I worked as a Team Leader providing psychotherapy to residents struggling with enduring and complex mental health issues. I have worked as a Clinical Coordinator for one of the Arbours’ therapeutic communities. I have supervised trainee psychotherapists in a number of charity organisations including the Highgate Counselling Centre, the Camden, City and Islington Westminster Bereavement Service.

I have worked in therapy services for nearly 15 years and qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2015. During this time I have worked in a variety of settings, ranging from working with people with mild-moderate depression or anxiety to working with people who have needed care in a hospital setting. Through these experiences I have learnt how to tailor the therapy approach to suit each individual person based on their current struggles, their life stage, and their life goals. I understand how daunting it can be to ask for help and approach my work with kindness, curiosity and compassion.

My clients come to see me with a range of issues. Many are associated with relationship problems, some are struggling through divorce, anxiety, anger, rage, cultural issues, commitment issues and bullying at work. Some clients want to work on their self-esteem and confidence related issues. Some clients wish to work through childhood sexual abuse. While others wish to work through bereavement. Most clients have a planned outcome and that is to feel better at the end of their allocated sessions. I am a Person-Centered focused therapist. I am focused on listening to the needs of my clients and focusing on their thoughts and feelings.

You may be experiencing some of the issues mentioned and no aspect of life is too small if causing pain.

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become. -Carl Gustav Jung- A warm welcome to you. My primary aim is to facilitate a safe and empathic space for my clients where the psychological pain can be explored and validated without the fear of judgement or rejection. I have been trained in all mainstream therapeutic modalities, so I aim to tailor my approach to the unique needs and goals of each client.

I am an experienced and BACP Accredited psychotherapist. You may find yourself feeling disconnected, or as though the life you are living is not your own. Perhaps you feel dissatisfied or unhappy, in a crisis or seeking resolution for a particular difficulty. I offer you the chance to more fully understand yourself, past experiences and relationships, ultimately allowing you to live a life that feels more genuine, connected and meaningful.

In my work I hope to do two things: 1. surface and examine what underlies your particular form of suffering or dis-ease and 2. build a relationship where you can be yourself - even and especially the parts you turn away from.

I offer relational psychodynamic therapy and trauma informed therapy to individuals - I am experienced working with: anxiety/social anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, shame, identity, life transitions, family issues, work and relationships, childhood sexual abuse and disordered eating. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space to reflect together with you wherever you are at.

I am a counselling psychologist with a background in a secondary care in the NHS. I work individually, with adults. Everyone is different, and everyone has a unique life full of challenges and strengths. Thus, the aim of my work is to collaboratively focus on what you may want and need me to help you. I want my clients to feel safe and accepted. I want to be with and to be for my clients, so that they are able to explore their difficulties. By working together, I aim to help my clients to understand their troubles, to accept what cannot be changed, and change what can be changed, so that they can break the cycle of hopelessness.
