Counselling in Handy Cross

Life can be challenging, hard and demanding at times and we could all use someone to talk to and explore our thoughts, feelings and ideas with. As an experienced, qualified and an accredited person-centred therapist, I can offer a safe, confidential and freeing space where I can support you and your needs in a non-judgemental, open and honest environment, which can enable genuine change to occur in your life. Having worked alongside clients who have presented with issues such as, abuse, depression, anxiety, loss, stress and more I can understand how scary seeking counselling can be - however my role is to support you through this.

I am a systemic family therapist, and an integrative counsellor, which includes CBT. I am based at the London Child, Adult and Family Therapy Centre. I have over 25 years’ experience of working with people and supporting them to overcome a range of emotional and behavioural dilemmas. These dilemmas can become problematic when normalised and left unmanaged or unresolved. They are often the roots of problems affecting personal and professional relationships. Through therapy, I support children; adolescents; adults; couples; family's, which including adult children and groups of people who have shared interests and responsibilities.

Seeking support can often be quite daunting, particularly in trying to find the right therapist. You may be struggling with a range of issues from, relational difficulties, to the loss of a loved one or a traumatic past. You may not know the cause and could be feeling lost or stuck. Whatever the issue, we all present in individual ways and I offer to tailor a therapy that will be right for you. I am a highly qualified UKCP accredited, Clinical Integrative Psychotherapist, qualified at MSc level with over 12 years’ experience. Alongside my private practice, for the last five years I have been working within the IAPT NHS service.

I understand how life traumas, issues and experiences can affect individuals, their family members and friends. I've recognised how these psychological and emotional issues relate to each other.

Are you struggling with aspects of your life? You may have already tried to talk about it with friends and family but you still feel unresolved. You might have issues that you feel you can only talk about in a safe and confidential space. There may be times when you feel absolutely fine but there are times when you can't cope from within and you don't understand it. We push difficult issues deep into our unconscious but it still influences our conscious lives. Are there significant events from your childhood that you can't find peace with in your present day? This can leave you feeling despair like you have no control.
