Career Guidance Counselling in Central London, London

I work with people who are stuck and want to get moving again in some area of their lives. They can be stuck for many reasons, but commonly this is anxiety, depression or life events, including the death of someone close, the loss of a job or illness, to name a few. To address these challenges, I offer a space and time to explore what is bothering you, what the best thing to focus on right now is, and how we can work together to get things moving again.

A therapeutic space can give us the understanding and confidence we need to make positive changes in our life.

It gives us perspective and open our minds to explore healthier ways of relating to ourselves. I´ve got more than 10 years of experience working with clients as a Psychologist. My approach is holistic and integrative and I have a University Master degree in Coaching and Systemic Psychology.

I know how daunting first sessions can be so it's my job to help you feel as comfortable as possible. The first session is an opportunity for us to find out a little about each other and for you to decide if I am the right therapist for you. We will discuss how things are for you at the moment, what's brought you to therapy and the things you'd like to work on.I offer a supportive, safe and confidential relationship.

I am a Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, registered with the BACP. I work with individuals and with couples for short term and long term periods. I provide a safe and confidential space for my clients to talk and explore the challenges they are facing and how this impacts their life. I respect the individuality of my clients, their experience and capacity to decide and choose their own destiny. You may have a goal or outcome you'd like to achieve, but often you may not, and this is okay. I work relationally and believe the supportive and trusting relationship between myself and my clients helps facilitate change and a way forward.

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.

I specialise in insightful, highly-sensitive individuals who are looking to make sense of their childhood trauma and life experiences. I'm interested in family dynamics, intergenerational trauma and how that affects you. You might be a high-achiever, hard worker and dedicated to your job /friends/family and usually put others first but find yourself repeating the same patterns in life and want a change. You might be experiencing burn out, depression and anxiety because of this and need to reconnect with your mind and your body. Or you describe yourself as a "people pleaser" and/or find it hard to put yourself first. Sounds familiar?

Our work together will aim to explore what is important for you and why. What are your direction-giving beliefs that shape the way you see yourself, the world, and others? We will further explore what are the the emotions driving your behaviour and their meaning. You will then start to understand the “why”, and you will be able to create a vision of how to move forward, how to implement changes, and what are the best ways to give your life the shape you want it to have. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, addictions and relationship difficulties but all clients, regardless of their issue can benefit from this approach.

As far as anyone can tell, you're excelling in your career and making a real impact in the lives you touch. However, the relentless demands at work are taking a toll on your mental health. You're burning out. Underneath the surface, you’re struggling with your own silent challenges and you’re afraid that soon it will all come crashing down. Despite trying mindfulness apps, yoga and self-help books, these coping tools have now lost their impact. Quietly battling is no longer sustainable or safe anymore. Exhausted from suffering in silence and pushing through, you're eager to restore balance and find renewed fulfilment in life again.

The evidence suggests that finding a therapist you feel able to talk to and understood by is key to a successful therapeutic experience. I am a down-to-earth, intelligent and non-judgmental integrative psychotherapist working with a range of issues. Ideally, therapy is a collaborative partnership and my style is active and empowering. I see you as the 'expert' in your life and myself as the 'expert' on therapeutic interventions. Together we focus on utilising your strengths and fostering insight and awareness in a safe and confidential environment. I love my work and look forward to helping you improve your mental health and wellbeing

Psychotherapy and counselling are immensely helpful tools when life challenges us beyond what we can cope with: the sudden loss of a job , the breakup of a relationship or the loss of a loved one. But even when we are not dealing with something that big and may simply feel adrift, or like we are struggling to reconnect to a sense of enthusiasm either professionally or personally, psychotherapy and counselling can help us to see these crises as opportunities for growth and change; portals to go beyond the limitations set by old patterns which no longer serve us, so that we may evolve into a better version of ourselves.

Mid-life for women can often be a time of new challenges and changes. This could be looking after ageing parents whilst juggling other commitments like a job and a family. It could be children getting older, leaving home leaving you wondering what your role and meaning in life is now. You could be having difficulty adjusting to the effects of the menopause. It can be easy to lose sight of who you truly are and your own needs and desires. However, these changes are also an opportunity to step into your own power and values and help curate a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling to you.
