Counselling in Kennington, London

I believe in a respectful, collaborative relationship which focuses on your individual history, context, personality and life situation in the here-and-now. Through empathic listening, I aim to enable us to explore your patterns and concerns at a safe pace, and in depth. Our thoughtful dialogue can help you build a more compassionate and insightful understanding, appreciation and acceptance of yourself. We will explore ways to enable you to connect with your feelings, wishes, needs and voice, and to build on strategies for managing your life in ways that feel more empowered, authentic, creative and meaningful.

The world can be frustrating when you get tangled up in unhealthy thinking patterns. You can feel lost, or overwhelmed, with moments of real darkness. That is where I can help. If you lose control of your anger or your anxiety holds you back, we can unpack what makes you tick. If you hide your emotions in harmful behaviour, we can uncover them. What I enjoy most is helping people to build healthy relationships with themselves and others. I used to this when working with the Prince's Trust and Mind, the leading UK mental health agency. This gave me insight into those dealing with addiction, anxiety and depression.

Did you grow up in a home that lacked emotional warmth? Were you a sensitive and/or gifted child who didn't feel seen or loved for who you are? Do you suffer with diffuse feelings of anxiety, low mood, emptiness, or a deeply held fear of being flawed or not good enough? You may be trying hard to prove yourself, or struggle with people-pleasing and overthinking. Therapy can be the first step towards feeling better. I offer longer-term, depth-oriented therapy to help you reflect on feelings and experiences, including unhealed trauma, so you can find a way to lasting emotional health. Contact me today to find out how I can help.

Is this a time in your life that feels difficult? Life can be somewhat challenging and overwhelming at times. Counselling is a process that gives you space and time, in a confidential environment that allow you to express yourself freely enabling you, to make better sense of your feelings, emotions and fears. It is important that during this process you remain an individual and we find a way for you to express your thoughts and feelings, making it's essential to work with a flexible approach tailoring our work to your needs.

Do you feel that you’re constantly reinventing yourself in order to feel accepted? Do you put others’ needs and wants before your own? Maybe you’re going through a major transition in your life, which is causing you to question who you are or where you fit in. Whether the transition is expected, chosen or imposed, it can be difficult to adjust whilst enduring intense feelings of fear and uncertainty. If this sounds familiar and you would like to start making positive changes then give me a call or email me. I will help you to heal the disconnection and build resilience, so you can develop strength from the challenges you’re facing.

I provide counselling in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment, enabling an exploration of personal issues. I have worked on issues related to relationships, depression, harm reduction, trauma and bereavement. Skilled in empowering individuals addressing self-esteem and acceptance. Working with cultural, religious or sexual minorities is central to my practice.

I am fascinated by how psychotherapy can transform our lives. I learn anew from each client and am interested in all issues they bring. Some people want brief psychotherapy. Others need to come once weekly or more for a longer period. Four decades of wide, varied experience helps me tune in rapidly to the causes of individual distress. Clients often need to form a new relationship with the past so they can live more fully in the present. My awareness of trauma in childhood and later life is central.

Feelings such as anxiety, stress, depression and anger can be difficult to deal with on our own. Losses, change and uncertainty may heighten these feelings and make life very challenging. You may be concerned about your eating, or your relationship with with food, body shape and weight.
