Are you struggling with your sense of self, your relationships and how you relate to others? Do you feel stuck in unhelpful life patterns and something gets in the way of you fulfilling your potential ? Psychotherapy can help identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and how unconscious dynamics can be rooted in the past. My approach would be to work with you to develop more understanding of underlying emotional conflicts and examine new ways of relating in your personal and professional life

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I work with young people and adults. People come to see me with a variety of difficulties they are facing, for example, anxiety, self-harm, loneliness, intrusive thoughts, or sadness. People usually seek help when they feel completely stuck and have nowhere else to turn. From there, we work together to figure out how to create the changes they would like to improve their lives or relationships, to have healthier coping skills, to engage more easily with others, or just a space to be heard.

In my private practice and as a college school counsellor my clients often face stress, anxiety, and sometimes anger. This may lead to experiencing sadness, feeling despaired, alone, worthless. Life can bring us hardships, many of which may develop into anxiety and unwanted behaviour or attitudes as a result of difficult circumstances. I work with my clients to help them make sense of their difficulties and foster acceptance within. I provide an empathic and non-judgmental space in which we will work together towards your mental wellbeing and peace of mind. I offer a mindful approach to counselling tailored to each situation.

I offer a free 15 minute phone call before meeting. This gives you an opportunity to outline your current circumstances and enables me to consider if I might be able to help you. Your first session will be an assessment where I will ask questions to better understand your past, your present and your expectations. This session is a two-way process for both you and I to consider if we might be able to work together. Any ongoing therapy will last 50 minutes and would typically take place on a weekly basis. I can work in an open ended way or time limited if you would prefer a shorter period. We would then work in a more focussed way

I work in practice with clients in Hammersmith W6, Chiswick W4 and online - offering a sensitive, reflective space and working with a broad range of issues and concerns both short and long-term.

It isn't necessary to know what is wrong, it is enough to know that you wish for something to be different.

As a Humanist, I believe in your Actualising Tendency - your inborn capacity to heal and grow. How do you experience this innate resourcefulness in yourself? Has it become confused by social expectations, stifled by inner critics, or simply bypassed by survival-mode thinking? However remote it might seem to you now, your Actualising Tendency is always there, ready to resume its central guiding role in your life. If this rings true and you're looking for therapy that is guided by your own authentic curiosity, awareness, insight and creativity, we might be a good match.

I offer a confidential sanctuary where you can explore the depths of your concerns without fear of judgment. The human experience is complex, filled with moments of joy, but also challenges that can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. With a wealth of experience in disability, bereavement, life transitions, mental health conditions and neurodiversity, I am adept at navigating the unique challenges faced by individuals in these communities. Having walked the path of someone who has been on the margins of society, I actively embrace minorities of all types.

It’s not always the things that have happened in your life but also those things that haven’t. This might show up as not feeling good about yourself or connections in your life. There could also be things you want to reflect on and understand better. As a qualified Integrative Counsellor, I can support you with perspective and working through what would be helpful. I know how hard it can be to ask for help and I know the value of talking it out in a private and understanding space.
