Counselling in Hounslow

Whatever may be troubling you, I can help. Our lives are impacted by our history, culture, social circumstances, friendships and a whole host of other factors. These aspects condition us to respond and interact with people and situations in our lives in very particular ways. My work with you would be to understand your life from your unique perspective and help you get in touch with a more resourced part of yourself, which is beyond the psychological and social conditioning, to help you overcome any difficulties or challenges you may be facing.

I offer 1-1 online zoom sessions to adults aged 18 and over with a wide variety of presenting issues: anxiety, low moods, anger, low self esteem, work pressures, family and relationship difficulties, identity issues, life transitions, sexuality and fear around the future. I also specialise in coaching parents in supporting their children aged 0-12 with behaviour challenges, meltdowns, tantrums, anxiety, anger, tearfulness, sleep issues, low self esteem, school and friendship difficulties and technology . I have an interest in working with parents of highly sensitive children (see Dr Elaine Aron work).

Are you experiencing anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem or depression? Are you stressed out? Struggling with life's challenges and difficulties? Do you have something you need to talk to someone about? I offer counselling for adults experiencing anxiety, stress, low mood, anger, grief and loss, depression or: who are struggling with something in life and need a space to talk. I specialize in supporting survivors of sexual violence.

Are you anxious about work, worried about relationships, or grieving the loss of a loved one? If so, then look no further. I create a secure space for us to work on what is important to you in your current situation and give you greater understanding of yourself. Together, we look at your options for the future and work towards making the changes necessary to achieve your goals.

Low mood and anxiety can be overwhelming and can end up stopping you live the life you want to. Sometimes problems feel intractable and you can have a sense of helplessness which affects everything you do. Talking it through with someone can make such a difference. Finding some perspective, feeling heard and understood in a safe, non-judgemental environment can enable you to face some fears, gain acceptance, feel empowered and move to where you would like to be.

As a counsellor I will listen to you explore what brings you to counselling such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, grief, low self esteem, isolation and any difficult feelings, thoughts and emotions you may encounter. Are you having difficulty making sense of your personal and relational issues and what’s troubling you? Do you need the time and space to be able to talk and explore aspects of yourself, being listened to by a compassionate, reflective counsellor? I am an integrative counsellor basing the therapeutic relationship on warmth, care, respect, and trust. I offer a safe, confidential and non- judgmental environment.

If you are suffering from anxiety or are finding your relationships or home life situation extremely stressful, it can be very helpful to talk about it in a safe, accepting place. As an experienced Integrative Counsellor, I provide a confidential, non-judgemental environment where you can talk about what is troubling you.

I offer long-term and short-term psychotherapy and counselling for a wide range of issues. One of the hardest choices can be finding a therapist. I have an Integrative approach to Psychotherapy, this means I integrate an approach that is suitable to you. I have experience with; addiction recovery, anxiety, depression, trauma, compulsive behaviour, relationship difficulties/or lack of relationship, low self-esteem, childhood abuse, dissociation, suicidal thoughts, anger, self-harming/destructive thoughts and behaviour, amongst others.

There are many reasons for seeking support, whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, loss, low self-esteem, fears, feeling overwhelmed or questioning the direction of your life – therapy offers a non-judgemental, safe space to work through the challenges of life. Therapy is not about advice or assumptions. It is about having a confidential space to explore why your life feels like it does and offers hope for change.

I support clients within a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment, providing the time and space for you to talk about the difficult issues you may be experiencing. I have worked with clients seeking help with issues including - anger, anxiety, bereavement, bullying, disconnection, feeling stuck, finding your voice, grief, identity and difference, life changes, loneliness, loss, marginalisation issues, parenthood, post-natal difficulties, shyness, & stress. An area of work I am also interested in is supporting clients in coping with the legacy of a difficult start in life. Sessions offered via telephone, Skype and Zoom.

I am a experienced, qualified Therapeutic Counsellor. I am able to work online and face 2 face. I have experience working with Children and Young people and men and women of all ages, backgrounds, cultures because of my work in a variety of sectors. I have worked within various counselling organisations and schools, offering individual therapy and support to those that need it most. Additionally, I also have experience as a Christian counsellor. Therefore I am comfortable talking about spiritual beliefs. I can help with a wide range of issues and conduct frequent reviews as the quality of the relationship is crucial to development

I believe that we are all influenced by many factors in our lives, both past and present, and that sometimes we need help to understand how these can get in the way of being able to live life fully and with ease. Therapy can provide a dedicated safe and containing space in which to explore thoughts, feelings, beliefs and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Considering the origin and development of these can be helpful in terms of deciding whether we want to change some of our ways of being so that we can live a happier, more fulfilled life. Equally, sometimes focusing on the here and now may be what is needed.

I believe we all hold the power to heal ourselves. It takes courage to face our insecurities and discomfort that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed or confused. You don't have to struggle alone, sometimes we could use a little support. My role as your therapist is to work with your unique process and guide you to reconnect with your own healing energy- So you can start to trust yourself to make the changes you need and achieve your personal goals from a balanced place of clarity and confidence.
