Online Counselling for Enfield

We each have the capacity for growth and change. Sometimes we can feel stuck in our lives, but talking to someone who is non-judgmental, empathic, unconditionally accepting, can help to free you from the restraints of life and find your own solutions. Speaking to someone who is neutral, to explore your experiences as well as gain a deeper understanding of yourself, can help you to reach self-acceptance.

I'll work with you on a deep, holistic and energetic level; focusing on the mental, emotional and spiritual. I'll go deeper than the symptom or diagnosis, treating you as a whole. I'll help guide you to the root causes of your imbalances and work on a deeper sub-conscious level. I use powerful tools to help you access, feel and heal what's blocking you from living a healthy life of joy, passion and purpose. From Reiki, to Breath Work, to intuitive guidance, creative visualisation, journaling, meditation, to gentle counsel. I use what works, for you, personally, in the moment, at the time it's needed.

I specialise in seeing individual clients who have experienced loss and grief, and couples who need support around their relationships. Even in situations where we do not experience bereavement explicitly – in divorce, for example, or when events conspire to permanently deny us certain opportunities – we can experience this shattering dimension of loss. It can be very difficult to talk about these issues, others do not know what to say to you, and may even minimise your loss. It can be a great relief to speak to someone non-judgmental, who really listens and can understand the world from your perspective.

My aim in working with people is to promote well-being and achieve a good quality of life. Our first step is to think about your values and personal goals and what changes in your life you would like to see. We can then think about how to tackle any problems or difficulties in order to address these directly or think about strategies for minimising the disruption they cause. I help people struggling with anxiety, low mood, excessive self-criticism, trauma symptoms, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder and paranoia.

Therapy can make a difference - it can help you to carry on when you feel that life is impossible. Each of us has our own story to tell, and our own particular reason for choosing therapy. Perhaps you are finding it hard to cope with the end of a relationship? Or feeling the pain of raw grief at losing a loved one? You may have been living with painful feelings and thoughts for a long time, perhaps because of an unhappy relationship with parents or siblings - the effects of dysfunctional relationships can build up over years, affecting your self-esteem and confidence.

You may have found yourself here as a result of wanting help with things that feel overwhelming right now. Perhaps your relationship isn't going in the direction you would like or work is becoming difficult to face. Maybe you have suffered a bereavement or you have a daily struggle with anxiety or depression. Whatever your battle may be, counselling is a way to gain support and a deeper understanding for what is impacting you and your life. I mainly use the psychodynamic modality, however I draw on a range of theoretical perspectives, depending on what is explored.

Having been a practitioner for many years, working with clients from childhood to adulthood, I can see the range of benefits to all ages therapy can have. I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor and Child & Adolescent Integrative Psychotherapist situated in Enfield and Golders Green, North London. Working either long-term or solution-focused short term depending on what is suitable for you at the present time. As well as many years of clinical experience, I am an Integrative Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychotherapy and Counselling Supervisor.

You may be considering therapy as a result of a very specific difficulty such a relationship issues, a bereavement or low self esteem, or you may be struggling to deal with the day to day difficulties that life brings. You may wish to work with a therapist for a short period of time or you might want to build a longer therapeutic relationship. This may be your first experience of therapy or you might be returning to therapy following previous experiences. Any of these scenarios are welcome.

Most of us experience feelings of sadness, loss, frustration, anger and stress at some time in our lives. It can be extremely difficult to express, understand and resolve these feelings when we are emotionally distressed. It may also be difficult to share some issues with family and friends for fear of being judged or misunderstood. I am here to offer you an empathic and non-judgmental ear. I am a highly experienced psychotherapist, offering a safe, calm and supportive space for you to work through those experiences and feelings, which are preventing you from leading a happy and fulfilling life.

Are you feeling stuck? Wanting to change and not knowing how. The decision to access therapy can be a daunting one. Embarking on a journey of self-discovery can be challenging and I am privileged to be able to guide others to their own transformation. My goal is to help clients find both the meaning for their behaviours as well as a clear understanding of what’s holding them back, always encouraging them to find the “gift of growth” in every situation. My aim is to provide a safe and nurturing space for you to tell your story with no fear of judgement.

You may be struggling with low mood or anxiety, difficulties in relationships or with the challenges of everyday life. It may be that you have lost someone close to you or have a history of traumatic life events. Whatever brings you to therapy, the first step can be daunting. But, by reaching out, you can begin to make more sense of your experiences and, with support, work towards a better future. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist specialising in work with children, teenagers and young adults, I have worked with many young people with a range of emotional and mental health issues.

I understand life can be overwhelming and how hard it can be to open up about worries and concerns. As a person centred counsellor, I follow your pace and direction so you aren't pushed to talk about things before you are ready. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental safe space. Our therapy will help you understand your past, who you are today and what you would like to change going forward. Together we can set goals and find solutions that work for you. I work with many problems including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. I have a special interest in the menopause and breaking down barriers for men seeking help.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I have acquired extensive experience of working alongside adults, adolescents, couples and families. During times of challenge, it can impact us in a variety of ways. Family and Systemic Psychotherapy can be beneficial in creating and supporting an understanding of experiences and views to employ useful changes in relationships.

I am an HCPC Registered Counselling Psychologist and BABCP Registered CBT Psychotherapist with 15 years' experience in mental health. I have been trained in different models of therapy (psychodynamic, person-centred, CBT) and use elements of cognitive analytic therapy and compassion focused therapy to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet my clients' needs. Above and beyond differences in theoretical approach, I focus on creating a caring and containing space where distressing feelings and thoughts can be shared and understood. I have a particular interest in working with grief and loss, and supporting people develop assertiveness.

Starting therapy can feel unnerving, often it takes time and courage for one to take the first step. Often this initial anxiety about starting therapy can be down to, in part, not knowing what to expect. An initial session, often referred to as an assessment, can be a way of knowing whether or not you and I would like to start working together. Perhaps there are specific things in your life that are bothering you, or maybe you are not sure about why you are feeling the way that you are. Therapy is a place where we can think together in a confidential space.
