Counselling in London

I offer a safe and confidential space where together we can explore your difficulties and help you get a deeper understanding of your inner self. In my approach I concentrate on both the past and the present: on how our past and unconscious feelings influence our current thinking and behaviour. I believe in the uniqueness of every individual, with their own life experiences that shaped them into the person they are. I also believe in the importance of creating a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can feel safe to share and explore whatever is worrying you.

Significantly affected by coronavirus? Struggling with any anxieties/fears or low mood? I am a very experienced Adult Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist working with adults of all ages who want to learn ways to manage their feelings, behaviours, thoughts, and/or physical symptoms. For 13 years, I have worked with adults and young people aged 16+, suffering from a range of emotional and mental health difficulties such as anxiety and low mood/depression. You will be offered a warm, friendly and non-judgemental space in which you can feel safe to talk and work on finding more helpful ways to manage current difficulties.

There are many reasons to look for a therapist, ranging from a crisis now to a general feeling of unhappiness, stemming from your past. Life throws up many events and difficulties and we aren't always able to solve these on our own. Anxieties, stress, feeling sad, isolation, as well as relationships, families, parenting, marriage, divorce, addictions, bereavement and loss are issues that we will all face at some point in our lives. They can leave us feeling confused and lost and without anyone to help us make sense of it. Therapy is safe, secure & non judgemental providing understanding, insight leading to change for you.

I am an experienced Cognitive Behavioural and EMDR therapist providing sessions online. I understand that from time to time, we can all do with some support to help us cope with the various challenges life throws at us. I take a warm, compassionate and non-judgmental approach to creating a safe place that suits each of my clients. You don’t need to know exactly what the problem is or where to start; the first step is reaching out, and together we will figure the rest out.

I am a certified Counsellor, specialising in Integrative Counselling. My therapeutic approach to each individual client is to bring together different elements of specific therapies such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Humanistic Approach and Mindfulness. There is no single approach that can treat an individual in all situations. I take the view that each person needs to be considered and Integrative Therapy techniques must be tailored to his or her personal needs and circumstances. I have been working as a personal Therapist for over 10 years.

Let’s face it, life can get pretty tough. We may feel stuck, directionless and generally dissatisfied. Or we may be struggling with something specific, a difficult situation, anxiety or circumstances that feel overwhelming and out of control. Likewise, we might be experiencing difficulties in relationships or struggling with the way we see/feel about ourselves in one way or another. It’s at times like these that we may need to look beyond ourselves to help make sense of our feelings or situation and find some kind of resolution. This is where therapy can play an invaluable role.

My clients choose to see me to help them address specific issues or to explore their thoughts and feelings in particular moments in their lives. Whatever the reason I offer them a confidential space where they can allow themselves to open up as much as they are comfortable with. Often issues are linked to self-esteem, self-worth and the difficulty to fully accept oneself. Clients are often able to become more confident in themselves and in relationships as they learn how to be more compassionate and kind to themselves. Therapy can help clients become happier, more fulfilled and successful in their life journey.

Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lonely or depressed? Having relationship difficulties or just separated from your partner and need someone to talk to? Let's work together. I offer weekday daytime and Saturday appointments to individual adults and couples. I work with individuals with many issues such as bereavement, anxiety, low self esteem and feelings of rejection in relationships. I have experience in helping parents who have been rejected or estranged from adult children. I offer communication training to couples to improve the hurtful effects of negative language so they can be more respectful and kinder to each other.

We all get to a point in our lives where we realise that there is more to the life we are experiencing. One of the ways to shift into that new chapter is to find a space to explore the things that have been holding you back. While it may not be easy, therapy is the way to do this authentically for lasting results. I walk alongside my clients as we take the time to uncover things that have been difficult to face alone. We create a safe and confidential space that encourages self awareness, growth and alignment with your true self.

My practice is not one size fits all. We will work together to establish exactly what your need to tailor-make a therapeutic relationship that is uniquely yours, perfectly poised to facilitate therapeutic personality change. Take that next step and reach out if you need help. I'm here to support you. I do offer a student rate for those studying pychotherapy.

Adults and Couples Therapy. I’m practicing from a new private room in between Balham and Tooting and also online! Get in touch and see how I can help you with your life problems. It’s never too late to look at those patterns that have been there for a lifetime. Maybe they are affecting your marriage? Creating barriers? Maybe you’d like to break free and learn how to cope better with them?

I offer individual psychotherapy and couples counselling. Couples counselling involves an assessment of one hour, then eight sessions every two-three weeks that are one and half hours. This short term model is popular and successful. If this interests you, do contact me. Are you feeling a bit stuck, or are you feeling that your life is not quite on the right track? Are you feeling stress in your life? Are there things from your past that you would like to understand, or maybe things in your present that you want to change? I realise that choosing a counsellor is very personal and you need to consider many things.

I offer a comfortable, safe and non-judgmental environment in which to explore your emotions and issues in confidence and take an holistic approach to counselling. I believe every individual is unique and tailor my approach specifically to you and your needs.

I am a qualified Counsellor with several years counselling experience. I have worked within various counselling organisations offering individual therapy and support. I do not hold the view that one stand-alone theory can adequately offer my clients the flexibility to work with the many challenging life issues. The theoretical structures I use with my clients are: CBT, Psychodynamic, DBT, Mindfulness, Person Centred and Gestalt. I also work creatively with drawings, shells, poetry and drama. I offer a safe and confidential space within which we can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement so together we can begin the journey towards your goals.

Maybe its hard to find meaning in your current situation or in your relationships. perhaps you feel depressed, anxious or you are experiencing panic attacks. You may be experiencing a bereavement, illness or job loss You may be going through a painful divorce or feeling isolated.

Life can be challenging. Maybe you are going through a significant life event. Maybe something painful happened to you in the past. Or maybe you are feeling somehow stuck and want some changes in your life. I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment to talk about things that you might find difficult to share with your partner, friends, and your family. I believe that connecting with a therapist through talking is empowering, and it will support you to go through things are you facing now. I believe that everyone is resilient, my fundamental role is to assist you in drawing the ability in yourself.

My aim is to support you through any difficulty you are experiencing now. I offer a warm, non-judgemental and confidential setting where you can talk about the issues that are distressing you. Together I hope we can gain an understanding of what you want from life, what fulfils you and what holds you back. Normal people go to therapy. They worry about life, relationships, family, fulfilment, have suffered trauma, have caused trauma, have loved and lost. It is entirely reasonable to have times in your life when you’re finding it difficult to cope. Yet going to therapy is a brave decision and looking at this profile is the first step.

You may experience a period when things feel overwhelming. In such circumstances, it can be challenging to find the right support. You may be struggling with life transitions, anxiety, loneliness or low mood. You may feel stuck, hopeless, worthless, overstimulated or lonely. You may find it challenging to switch off. During these times, I strive to provide therapeutic mental health support to my clients.
