Counselling in London

Online psychotherapist with an eclectic and inventive approach. Practicing Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I believe that people already have within themselves what they need in order to overcome their struggles. All it takes is a bit of guidance and someone to ask the right questions. My wish for my clients is that they find the inner freedom to live the life that they want. I mostly work with expats, travelers, digital nomads, burners - I can relate to the lifestyle and can appreciate the need for flexibility and rescheduling sessions when necessary, however, anyone is welcome.

Integrative Multilingual Counselling & Psychotherapy providing counseling in Kurdish, Turkish, bilingual French, and Greek. I have recently received the qualification in BSL level3.  Sometimes it can feel difficult or almost impossible to share what's hurting you, with your surrounding. Seeking help in therapy means that you need and deserve to have the time for yourself, to explore what you are currently going through and freely express your feelings and share your thoughts, concerns, and the difficulties you are experiencing.

I am accredited as an experienced integrative Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor. I use my experience to help my clients expand and improve their emotional skills. I have spent several years working with addiction, especially food addiction, OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and eating disorders. I have worked with dual diagnosis clients in both addiction and other mental health organisations. I am committed to providing counselling with the most up-to-date techniques to build a healing and therapeutic relationship with clients. More recently my client group has covered stress, anxiety, trauma and loss.

As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I have experience of supporting people experiencing issues including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, social isolation, loss, lack of confidence and emotional overwhelm. The support I offer is based on creating a therapeutic environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings and life experiences in a safe, empathetic and confidential space.

I am a professionally qualified Integrative counsellor based in South London and I offer short and long term counselling and psychotherapy. My aim is to provide a safe, confidential and compassionate space where you can explore what troubles you without fear of being judged or rejected. For me counselling is a collaborative process which facilitates increased understanding and self-awareness, greater self-acceptance and more fulfilling relationships with others and life in general. I practice an integration of several theoretical approaches: Person Centred, Humanistic, Existential, Psychodynamic /Psychoanalytic.

My approach is person-centred and solution-focused. I hold a warm, inclusive, judgement-free space for deep personal growth. Together we will explore different ways of looking at things while also exploring how you got to where you are to begin with. I want to help you uncover your inner strengths, gain new insights, and hone the skills you need in order to live the life you desire. Not all work is about the past; sometimes the focus is on acquiring practical skills in the here and now to face new challenges. Meeting you where you are, even if you are nervous and unsure, I don’t rely on a “one-size-fits-all” approach to healing.

Perhaps you feel anxious, insecure and that you depend on your relationships to be happy. It might be that you worry because you feel too needy in relationships. Maybe you have difficulties maintaining relationships because you end up pushing others away. You always find yourself in the same unhealthy patterns of being and relating. You would like to break these cycles and understand why they occur. You wish to understand yourself better, heal emotional wounds, and find a new perspective in life and relationships.

Are you struggling to feel happy in yourself, and feel like everything you try to make yourself feel better isn’t working? Perhaps things you do may be causing distance between your friends and family yet you don’t know how to stop. Your work life, food and exercise routines may feel out of control, or that they’re running your life. All this can leave you feeling isolated, alone and grasping for unattainable goals. On the outside, things may look OK but inside you feel empty, with no sense of who you are and who you want to be.

Most of us, will, at some point, and for various reasons, experience emotional, psychological or spiritual challenges which can impact and limit the quality of our lives. I am a BACP accredited Counsellor, experienced in working with adults of all ages, sexual orientations, and cultural backgrounds. According to your needs, I will draw on different schools of Psychology, such as, humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment theory and/or transpersonal, to provide either short-term-focused counselling/therapy or longer-term in-depth therapy.

Would you describe yourself as sensitive, empathic and open-minded? You may be feeling desperately stuck in some area of your life, finding it difficult to navigate the complex terrain of your personal or professional relationships, struggling with overwhelm, persistent anxiety, self-criticism, shame or self-doubt or needing support with navigating a recent transition, loss, challenge or traumatic experience. I would love to offer you a gentle, loving, authentic and deeply compassionate space to explore and process your experience in the safety of knowing that in this space all of you and what you bring will be welcome and honoured.

With over 30 years experience I offer an insightful and friendly space to talk about anything that is troubling you.

Are you living with higher levels of anxiety than those around you would’ve guessed? Pouring over moves you make, wishing you said or did things differently? Are you worrying at nighttime, despite all your best efforts not to? When our internal alarm system gets activated and the button to turn it off seems to have gone missing, it has a way of taking over every area of our life. I'm guessing that if you're reading this you've probably tried many ways to control the way you're feeling. It can be a frustrating experience not to gain control over it, perhaps especially so, if you’re used to succeed in other areas of your life.

I'm a warm and down-to-earth psychotherapist, currently working both online and in-person in Dalston, London E8. I offer weekly therapy with adults on a 1-to-1 basis. I've worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, loneliness & isolation, bereavement, conflicts at work or home, traumatic experiences & finding meaning, amongst many other issues. You may have a more vague sense of dissatisfaction and you don't need to be in crisis to find counselling useful; attending regularly can also be seen as an act of generous self-care, bringing greater insight, perspective & ease.
