A Safe Place 2 Talk
Psychotherapist, MBACP
Croydon CR0
Therapy can help you whilst going through some of the most difficult times in your life, whether they are in the present or the past. As a counsellor there would be a safe place to offload those harmful thoughts in the room and where the focus is on the thoughts and feelings you have created. My focus is on you the client to support you at an emotional and steady pace; and to progress you from where you are to a place of contentment. I have been a therapist to children to mature adults. Remember that, "you are more than your past".

Childhood trauma, unhealthy patterns, addiction and trauma can all result in unresolved pain. Being able to explore that pain in a non judgemental, confidential, empathic space can be an essential life changing experience. Many clients come to therapy wanting change and emotional health, awareness of where that pain comes from and the journey to understand its impact on our lives today is a crucial part of healing. Often our trauma is not recognised, believed or simply understood. Yet we're living with the impact of these issues. It takes courage to acknowledge our pain but for those who can it can give us the tools to change.

When emotions feel overwhelming, whether for you or your child, it can be hard to know where to turn. You may be noticing anxiety, emotional outbursts, school refusal, or a sense that something isn’t quite right. Many parents tell me they feel worried and unsure how best to support their child. Or perhaps, as an adult, you feel stuck carrying the weight of past experiences, finding that relationships, work, or daily life feel overwhelming. I offer trauma-informed therapy and a calm, compassionate space to begin making sense of what is happening and move toward healing.

You have spent a long time being "fine". Capable, dependable, holding it together, while closeness feels harder than it should and something underneath goes unspoken. I work with men on exactly this: the shame that sits quietly beneath the surface, the pull between who you are and who you were raised to be, the relationship patterns that keep repeating however hard you try. None of it means something is wrong with you. You learned to relate this way for good reasons, and what is learned can be reworked. My particular focus is South Asian men, though I work with men of all backgrounds, and with South Asian adults more widely.

If you're dealing with trauma, anxiety, grief, or the effects of narcissistic abuse, you're not alone. Sarah (name changed for confidentiality) came to me feeling overwhelmed by past pain and confusion. Together, we uncovered the layers of her trauma, helping her understand her emotions and break free from the grip of the past. Today, Sarah is on a path of rebuilding her life—she's regained clarity and found the peace she thought was out of reach. Like Sarah, you too can break free from past pain, rebuild your life, and find a clearer, more balanced state of mind.

When your mental health gets worse, everyday life can feel much harder than it should. You might notice your sleep is affected, you‘re more critical with yourself, or your mind feels constantly busy with overthinking. Many people feel stuck after a change or loss, struggling to adapt and feeling they’re not themselves anymore. This can show up as low mood or worrying that feels hard to switch off, alongside feeling overwhelmed, withdrawn, or unsure how to move forward. You may feel like you’re just getting through the day, with little space left for enjoyment, meaning, connection, and unsure whether therapy would really help.

Right now, as you read this, you are likely not in a good place. You may be feeling distressed and hopeless or overwhelmed. This may have been going on for a long time and you may have tried to cope in different ways - but it's no longer working? You have tried talking to friends and family but that isn't working either? Maybe there are things that happened a long time ago in your childhood and this is still affecting you today - therapy can be a place to begin to look at all of this and can be the start of beginning to feel better and with improving self-esteem.

Do you find yourself putting others’ needs before your own, struggling to set boundaries, or repeating painful patterns in relationships? Do you struggle with people pleasing, perfectionism or relationship issues ? Many people come to therapy feeling exhausted by people-pleasing, self-doubt, or the sense that they are “not enough.” Others notice they keep attracting similar relationship dynamics and aren’t sure why. I specialise in helping people explore these patterns and understand how early experiences, attachment wounds, and inner child dynamics may be influencing their relationships today.

Anger Management Counsellors
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.

How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.

Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.

What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
