I have over ten years experience of working with children, adults and families, aiming to help people explore challenging situations or relationships, toward understanding how particular difficulties have risen and help you work through this time. I specialise in complex mental health and support individuals and families who have been affected. I have seven years experience working with children and teenagers who have Learning Disabilities and issues relating to school. I also see clients for various other struggles and work collaboratively to explore what is behind their anxiety, depression and to build self-esteem.

I know how difficult it is to find a therapist you can trust for help with your emotional and psychological difficulties. Sometimes our suffering is concealed from friends, family or colleagues because we are good at hiding it but deep inside, we are left feeling far from happy, fulfilled or content. At other times our difficulties are more noticeable. I am passionate about helping people live better lives. I help them discover what matters to them, what type of person they want to be and how they would like to behave. Once their values are clarified I help them make sustainable changes towards the things that are important to them.

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC, working both privately and within the NHS as a Highly Specialist clinician. I specialise in working with adults, who may be experiencing complex difficulties with mood, anxiety, chronic pain, trauma and their relationships. I am trained across therapy modalities, but primarily from a Psychodynamic approach. I currently have availability for remote sessions and offer both brief and open-ended therapy. I believe that people are doing their best with what resources they have available and, in some cases, there can be value in talking through a situation to resolve sticking points.

I have worked as a counsellor, psychotherapist and coach for almost 20 years so I have gained a very broad experience of people's issues and needs. I work with individuals and couples. I offer help and guidance into how we become more comfortable with who we are, where we come from and what we desire from our lives in the future....how we fit into the World. This may be as an individual or as part of a couple relationship. I find that anxiety and stress affect so many people in their working and private lives - especially presented with the challenges of trying to live happily in an immense city such as London.

The most important thing I can do for you is to help you understand yourself better, to know why you do the things you do and find certain situations difficult. I work with people who want to understand why they can't assert themselves, find enjoyment in life, make friends, recover from bereavement or the end of a relationship, why they get so angry, have addictions, obsessions and intrusive thoughts or why they don't know what to do about a partner who is controllling or abusive. Alternatively, I can offer EMDR, which is a treatment for trauma and other experiences from the recent or distant past which have adversely affected you.

Perhaps you would like to explore your thoughts and feelings in a warm and secure environment. I am a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist running a private practice in the heart of Islington and online. Using the psychodynamic approach we will explore links between your past and present bringing a deeper understanding to some of the roots of your difficulties.

Whether you are finding it difficult to cope, would like support for a specific issue or are feeling stuck, therapy can offer you a safe space to explore any difficulties with the support of a professional trained to listen and respond in an insightful, non-judgmental and caring way. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy, although it is fine if you are. It provides an opportunity to gain greater self-awareness and self-acceptance so you can make meaningful and lasting changes in your life.

Are you a successful professional woman who doubts your own accomplishments? Do you sometimes feel that you are worthless or not good enough, or that you are somehow going to be found out?

Just imagine for a moment what your life would look like if you did feel more confident within yourself! Imagine what life would look like if you changed any negative belief for a new empowering positive belief!

As you read this profile, you are probably feeling ‘stuck’ in some way –maybe overwhelmed by grief, painful events, relationship breakdowns or difficult life choices. I believe this is when therapy can help. It gives you a safe, non-judgemental space to explore both the challenges you are facing and parts of yourself that even you might not feel very familiar with. From this, you can gain useful insights that will allow you to arrive at a point of clarity around your situation and the choices you may need to make to proceed in life. In our sessions you will have the freedom to explore whatever is troubling you, at your own pace.

Everyone's journey to counselling is unique. You may have a sense of being alone, feel hopeless, guilty or overwhelmed, but you might find it hard to pinpoint what in particular brought you here. Alternatively you may know exactly why you are here, but not have a clue what to do about it. I see clients who wish to discuss a range of problems that they are facing currently or have done in the past. Some of these have names that we are familiar with, such as depression, anxiety, stress low self esteem, trauma or abuse. For others there might just be a feeling that they can't articulate but know they need to address.

I am a qualified and experienced Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I work with individuals (18 and older) and relationships across the lifespan. I offer both short and longer term therapy. I use an integrative approach that focuses on developing a strong therapeutic relationship and working relationally with the issues you may bring. I hope to offer a space to explore any dimension of human distress you may be holding. For example, you may be struggling with sexual difficulties, experiencing challenges with communication, feeling alone, dealing with shame or a critical inner voice.
