Counselling in Bethnal Green, London

I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have over 14 years of experience in the NHS working therapeutically with adults, young people and families. In my current NHS role as a Lead Psychologist, I offer therapy to staff ( to those experiencing burnout, trauma etc) in addition to providing consultation, training and supervision. If you are struggling with your mood, feeling stuck, or perhaps low self esteem and relationship problems, I am here to support you.

At various points in our lives we can experience distressing events or feelings which seem overwhelming. They can result from particular circumstance such as difficulties in our work lives, relationships, bereavement, illness or dealing with painful memories from our childhood. Sometimes we are unsure as to what is making us feel the way we do. All we know is that life may have become directionless, distressing, or even intolerable. It might be at these times psychotherapy might be helpful.

I provide a welcoming, non-judgemental therapeutic space for you to explore your issues in an open, honest, safe, confidential way. I work with a wide variety of people with different issues. Whatever you are seeking support for, I am happy to discuss how I can help. You may be seeking support with low mood, anxiety, depression, LBGT+ issues or adjusting to a family member's LGBT+ identity. Or you may be seeking to explore your subconscious and what is causing your thoughts and feelings. I have additional specialist expertise is in working with positive HIV diagnosis, helping people adjust and thrive while managing their condition.

If you or someone you love suffers from an eating disorder or severe OCD it can be incredibly distressing and serious. Talking to a specialist who understands the complex issues around anorexia and bulimia and OCD is your first step towards recovery. You can be free from your obsessions and compulsions and problems with food, body image and exercise. The first step is simply to talk about what's going on with an empathetic and understanding person. Together we can gently explore the problem and start to find a way out. You don't have to be in crisis to have therapy, you just have to want to change things for the better.

Relationship, dating, psychosexual issues, life crisis, depression, anxiety, panic, stress, overwhelm, trauma, OCD, PTSD, low self esteem, not sure? Something is not right and you want answers, a strategy; to heal, to overcome, process or grow. Maybe it feels embarrassing and you don’t want to make a big deal out of things, or you feel stuck and unsure of what to do. It's ok. You have come to the right place. I'm a psychologist, working part-time in an NHS complex mental service. I'm also a dating and relationship specialist helping people work through all aspects of romance and intimacy, including friendships and family dynamics.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression or stress, I would like to help you find your own unique way of overcoming these emotional difficulties , and offer you the space to explore how it's really like for you at the moment. My wish is that you come to create the life and relationships that you yearn for, including a positive relationship with yourself. Trained as a person-centred counsellor , I have several years experience working for a mental health charity and in private practice.

I work as an adolescent and adult Counsellor based in East London. As well as my own private practice, I work in schools, universities and in the domestic abuse sector with victim-survivors of domestic abuse. I am a fully registered BACP member and integrate a variety of different therapeutic modalities, including person-centred and humanistic therapy, body therapy, art/play therapy, mindfulness and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to meet each person’s specific needs.

It is often when we feel the most comfortable and at ease, does our authentic-self seep out. This is you unfiltered, unapologetic and unscripted. However, how many times do we allow ourselves to experience this? Not very often, right? Many of us wonder through life wearing a mask, trying to uphold the image we have learnt to create for ourselves - whether it’s the ‘trying-to-keep-it-together parent/partner’, the ‘reliable, always there for you friend’ or the ‘ambitious, life-goals-in-hand determined individual’.

At times life is challenging and you might be feeling anxious, depressed or experiencing a significant life event such as bereavement, end of a relationship or redundancy. You might simply feel dissatisfied and want to understand yourself better. Therapy can be a transformative and rewarding experience. I will help you explore any issues which might be concerning you: current and historic life events, feelings, relationships, ways of thinking and patterns of behaviour. This process will help you to more fully understand yourself, ultimately allowing you to take greater control and live a life that feels more connected and fulfilling

People come to psychotherapy and counselling for many different reasons. Perhaps it is a time of crisis or difficulty when feelings have become overwhelming and difficult to share with people that you might normally. It could be that this is linked to a desire to gain a deeper self-understanding. Simply talking to the right therapist for you can provide relief. I have a wide experience of working with different conditions and situations, in particular depression, anxiety, anger and relationship issues. I work with an emphasis on facilitating your enquiry in a safe and effective way, within a supportive relationship.

I am an integrative practitioner which means that my practice is influenced by more than one approach. In my work I focus on adapting the best-suited approach to your individual needs. This might entail helping you find coping strategies to address specific symptoms or assisting you to increase understanding of yourself and your relationships with others. I am also using DIT model (Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy) which is a 16 sessions time limited therapy aiming to identify and change unhelpful patterns affecting your important relationships and professional achievements.

I am a qualified counsellor & psychotherapist, with over 15 years experience, working with a variety of clients from various multicultural backgrounds and professional disciplines. I deal with both family and work relationships issues including loss, conflict, abuse and life transitions.

Sometimes you can feel like you’re surviving rather than living. You find yourself sad, anxious or stuck in old patterns, and it’s impacting your life, relationships or work. Therapy can help you heal and find your joy, purpose and nurturing relationships. I provide a safe space for you where we collaboratively work towards your healing. My therapy is tailored to your unique situation, working in either a short or long-term capacity depending on your needs. Bringing a warmth to the therapeutic relationship, together we can explore what is weighing on you, set goals and work together to find a way through, towards living again.

If you are reading this, you have already begun the process of finding a therapist and I understand that this is a courageous step. A step towards change and commitment to yourself. Maybe you are wanting to understand yourself better? Looking for an opportunity to have a deeper knowledge of yourself and your behaviour? You might want more satisfaction in your career or be struggling with a personal or business relationship? Experiencing a loss? Recent diagnosis of life limiting illness? Or seeking a professional relationship with someone that will allow space for talking about your problems/challenges and explore these experiences?

The decision to invest in your mental health is a commendable and brave step to make, however I understand that it can be intimidating to know where to start. Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe that I can help to create a safe space, in which, together we can explore how to better understand your emotional difficulties, appreciate your skills and strengths and enable you to feel better equipped to build and manage a meaningful life.

I am a qualified and experienced Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Coach. I work with adults of all ages and with people of all sexual and gender identities. My theoretical background is psychodynamic, based on an understanding that early experience is often significant for our psychological development; aiming to work with unconscious as well as conscious components of experience. However, I work intuitively with what the client brings into the session. I offer a transpersonal and humanistic perspective and an opportunity to reflect on both past and current experiences in a secure and stable environment.

Feeling, overwhelmed, down, anxious or afraid something terrible could happen? Giving voice to your feelings can be a way of finding alternative responses to these painful feelings. I offer the convenience and flexibility of online therapy.

I am an accredited integrative counsellor who has experience working with adults as well as young people aged 11+. I like to use the pluralistic approach to counselling which is an encouraging and collaborative method that aims to work in partnership with the client, in order to achieve the best positive changes, you desire. I give particular care and attention to creating a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore all aspects of your life. I believe you know yourself best and you are your own expert. With this in mind, I believe in creating a trusting environment where you feel heard, respected understood and empowered.

Some people seek psychotherapy and counselling because of a quiet desire for something more, some because of an absence of joy and liveliness, some feel a lingering sadness, some find themselves in shallow relationships, some are suffering the pains of depression, anxiety or anger, some feel close to madness, some are curious to take a closer look at the riches within.
