Couples Counselling in Brixton, London

Do you feel blocked by your past, are you experiencing loss, do you find yourself endlessly repeating harmful patterns of behaviour? Working through blocks that contribute to an unsatisfactory life helps people heal and get in touch with that part of them that leads to happiness and peace of mind; the true self. I bring my lived experience to my work with clients as well as my professional training.

I am originally from the West Coast of Africa, Ghana and lived for the most part of my years in London, UK. I am a UK trained Psychodynamics Therapist with experience of using in-depth therapy to support clients in addressing unresolved early-life experiences. I do have 8 years working experience within the mental health services in the UK.

None of us are immune to the experience life throws at us and sometimes we can develop difficulties with depression, anxiety or both. This often affects how we think, feel and act, falling into negative cycles that can maintain problems. I specialise in using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help you identify and break these down so you can move forward positively in your life. Where helpful, I integrate other psychological approaches which sit well with CBT, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Compassion Focused Therapy, to tailor a course of therapy which will support you best.

We all go through some difficulties in life. Asking for help can be difficult , finding the right support can be even more of a challenge. As an Integrative Therapist, I use different modalities to fit my clients' needs, learning curves and communications styles, personalities and states of mind. I also adapt to fit my clients' physical health, integrating body and mind work within the process of change. I believe we can all benefit from the therapeutic relationship. it can be helpful when dealing with difficulties and as a boost to reach our full potential. I can also be a place and time to manage mental hygiene and general health.

As an experienced integrative therapist, I draw on a range of different approaches, including CBT, existential, humanistic and psychodynamic, to provide therapy tailored to you as an individual in a warm, safe and non-judgmental space. I work with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, work, stress, identity, family history, trauma, self-esteem, negative thought patterns, feeling stuck, shame, unhelpful behaviours and self-beliefs, transition and loss.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or uncertain about the direction you are taking in life? Or perhaps you are currently going through a difficult time and feeling you need an extra support? Taking the time to explore your personal issues may facilitate the development of your self-awareness and sense of self, thus positive changes may occur leaving you with an improved feeling of well-being and a more confident and empowered you.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a daunting process. By providing a safe space where you can learn to listen to yourself and be heard without judgment, I aim to help you understand how your past experiences might be shaping how you live, work, and relate to others in the present, allowing you more freedom to make positive changes in your life.

If you're looking for a therapist, it's likely that something within you is signalling the need for a change. This signal might have come in many forms: anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, challenges in your work or relationships, difficult feelings about your body or questions about your identity. It may sound strange to say but I believe there's something profoundly healthy in you having been able to generate and recognise this signal as well as seek out support. I aim to support you to make meaning of what you're experiencing and in doing so, help you feel prepared to recognise and face the challenges in your life.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with a diverse experience working with charities that supports the LGBTQIA+ and the East and South East Asian migrant communities. These experiences provides me with a deeper understanding of the complexity of mental health, mental illness and our capacity, as human beings, to grow and make meaning of our lives. We all go through personal struggles and some of us get lost in our painful thoughts and emotions which at times, manifest in anxiety and depression and counselling/psychotherapy is a space to support you find your way back and develop a better version of YOU.
