Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in East London
People start therapy for many different reasons. You may feel dissatisfied, worried or sad, want to explore the past, process difficult events, or achieve goals. By also using art-making, it is possible to explore emotional issues in a different, sometimes deeper way, one that words alone may not allow. You do not need to be an artist to benefit from this, just drawn to the idea of expressing yourself creatively. I have experience of helping with a range of issues, from common life problems, through depression, anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and experiences of unstable mood.

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.

You may be feeling lost, overwhelmed, stuck, or lacking fulfilment. Perhaps, your relationships are difficult and causing you distress or a major life event has significantly impacted the way you feel. Therapy can be a helpful way of navigating life’s challenges. I offer a safe, confidential and collaborative space to explore what is going on for you. I support clients to use their own strengths and resources to navigate through difficulties, whilst also drawing on my own research, training, and personal experience to help clients build self-understanding and experiment with new ways of being.

Sometimes psychological difficulties are being experienced for a number of years, other times they are triggered by more recent events. Deciding to see a psychologist can feel daunting at the beginning but it probably means that you are at a stage where you are ready to attempt to make changes. You might feel anxious or even ashamed to discuss personal issues. You might feel scared that you will not be able to change anything or feel better. These are understandable fears and concerns. However, if you are willing to give it a go, therapy can be an empowering process where you gain new insights, & different ways of managing problems.

I have experience of working closely with people with enduring and complex mental health difficulties, suicidal ideation, troubling relational patterns and people recovering from grief and loss. I use music as a tool to facilitate the building of the therapeutic relationship, and listening, songwriting, lyric analysis and composing can all be incredibly accessible ways of starting to explore what is troubling you. Equally, sometimes we may spend most sessions talking. Clients do not need to have any prior musical experience, and I am very happy working with children, young people and adults.

I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human beings, their darkness and their lights. I consider the therapeutic room not only as a space for self-reflection and exploration of what feels difficult to process on your own, but also a place to speak the unspeakable. Therapy can provide an opportunity to challenge behaviours that may appear unchangeable or automatic. As a practitioner I am interested in the integration of cultural and gender studies and have experience working with depression, isolation, sexual identity, existential difficulties, relational dilemmas and bereavement.

Do you find yourself striving to feel confident, but never quite feeling good enough?
On the outside, it might look like you’ve got everything together, but inside you’re overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and wondering why you still don’t feel good enough.
You might be exhausted from people-pleasing, seeking reassurance, or holding yourself to impossibly high standards. If your mind is constantly questioning you or putting you down, it can feel hard to switch it off, no matter how well things are going on paper.

Don’t let trauma drive your relationships in life, they will take you down a beaten track, instead become a conscious driver and set your destination to healthy and happy relationships where you can be your true self and grow.
When thinking about relationships, most people seem to overlook the fact that our traumas inform how we relate to other people, this means that any trauma that hasn’t been processed and healed, will be determining what kind of person comes into your life, which ones stay and which ones leave.
At a practical level these traumas show up in day-to-day interactions with others in countless & often subtle ways:
