Counselling in Moorgate, London
Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by life and we don't recognize why we feel the way we do. This can lead to us feeling disconnected with others but also with ourselves. Sometimes the problem is not always clear and by talking things through in a safe space, it can help us understand what is happening. Navigating issues through a therapeutic relationship can empower us to progress in your journey of self-discovery and thrive in life. I can offer you a safe, confidential space for you to feel heard, bring any issues that may be affecting you and your ability to flourish.

Your heart has always felt a little broken, even before you were old enough to find love. You searched endlessly for someone that got it, in books, in the music you listened to late and night whilst crying in your room. ‘I want to be someone else or I’ll explode’. Except you didn’t explode and your life dragged on. It’s hard to explain why your soul feels empty. Everyone told you it would pass but it never fully did. You just got better at hiding it. The German army shirt became an All Saints jumper, the vodka and coke became a bottle of Whispering Angel. All good, nothing to see here. You became very good at pretending.

I can help if you're struggling in your relationship to yourself or those around you. This might include feeling repeatedly let down, rejected, abandoned; feeling depressed, anxious, ashamed as well as self-critical; lacking in intimacy and trust or even fearing others. I can also help if you have been affected by past trauma. You might struggle with food and eating, self-harming or experience unstable emotions as well as substance abuse. You might have difficulty asserting yourself or consistently finding yourself in vulnerable situations and problematic relationships and have difficulty establishing long-term relationships.

I work with both young people and adults who are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety; sometimes feeling overwhelmed, low in mood or lacking in confidence. You may have had upsetting experiences that you are trying to process, or finding it difficult to get on with people close to you? Some of my clients are feeling overwhelmed at work, or experiencing burnout. When we meet, I will listen carefully to try to understand why you may be struggling and what changes you would like to make. After the assessment we will make a clear plan of what you would like to achieve and what a successful outcome from therapy looks like.

Are you caught in a cycle of broken relationships, battling Self sabotage, shame, and low self-esteem? Does anger, addiction, or a yearning for change linger in your thoughts, yet you're uncertain where to begin? Perhaps your upbringing was marked by hostility, abuse or you felt unseen & unheard by emotionally distant parents? Whether your struggles stem from short-term or prolonged trauma, navigating its impact on your daily life leaves you feeling adrift, disconnected and unsure how to separate the past from the present.

Hello and welcome. I have been here myself so I understand how daunting it can feel to find the right therapist and take that first step towards healing. I am here to be alongside you as you start on this path. Building our relationship so that you feel safe to openly share whatever brings you to therapy. Working together we can explore whatever difficulty you are going through, a past trauma or experience does not have to be revisited to heal, we will explore your experiences in the here and now, look to understand how it has impacted you and in what ways, for example do you have low self worth or do you struggle in relationships.

My therapy approach has been particularly effective with clients with low-self esteem, depression, worry, OCD, trauma experiences and social anxiety. Irrespective of the presenting problem, I have found that actively listening to an individual is fundamental to any successful treatment.

I offer EMDR, CBT and Couples Counselling therapy and the aim is to help you to regain a sense of wellbeing and enjoyment in your life. During the initial assessment we will work together to understand your main problems, what is keeping you 'stuck' and then agree on an individualised treatment plan to help you move forward with clear treatment goals. CBT is an effective treatment that can help you in the here and now and EMDR is useful for getting to the root of the problem. I find that both work well, in different ways to bring about an improvement in emotional and physical health.

Hi my name is Pauline and I am a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist (full member of BSCH) and Counsellor (registered member of BACP) specialising in Addictions and the issues related to the addiction and the probable cause. When we are at the stage where we are googling Counsellors then this is usually because we are hoping to get the right person we will gain rapport with. The right Counsellor will allow us to open up completely about issues that we have been bottling up inside us for whatever reason. We want to be able to talk freely and easily without being judged by that comment or look that straight away makes us close up and squash those unwanted feelings and thoughts back down into their box again because, maybe, we feel ashamed and guilty. We want the issue to be dealt with in a non judgemental manner. We want that someone who will enable us to feel that we are OK. That it's not all our fault and will help us find a solution.

You may be feeling overwhelmed & disconnected in your relationships & work, &/or experiencing anxiety & despair about the state of the world - the climate crisis, the political landscape, the “never enough” of grind culture capitalism, the multitude of oppressive systems that plague us (racism, cisheteropatriarchy etc). I’ve been practicing for 15 years & find it especially rewarding working with those who are highly sensitive, empathic, artists, activists, queer, non monogamous, those struggling with a dysregulated nervous system, anxious attachment, poor boundaries & people pleasing. I work somatically alongside talk therapy.
