I am a practicing child and adolescent psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 25 years’ experience working as a music therapist. I offer a child-centred approach with the aim to create a safe therapeutic space for young people to work through their difficulties. Recognising the many challenges that children and adolescents face throughout their development, my work encompasses all developmental stages (infancy, primary school age children, adolescents and young adults). Specialising in neurodiversity and children who have experienced bereavement or trauma, I work in diverse community settings and welcome all young people.

So whether you’re feeling anxious, depressed, confused, stuck in a destructive pattern, troubled by events in the past, or unsure about your direction in life, starting therapy can be a powerful first step towards a better future.

Do you need somebody to help you understand and manage the challenges in your life in confidence? My approach is existential, which does not judge emotional suffering but looks instead at how you uniquely experience the world. I will help you explore your lived experience in terms of your relationships; your emotional well-being; and your values, choices and sense of purpose. You may come at a time of distress with a particular difficulty, or you may have reached a stage when you want to deepen your understanding of yourself. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of whatever is troubling you.

I have worked in mental health for over ten years with adults across the lifespan, children and families who have experienced a range of difficulties, in both community and inpatient settings. I completed my doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Hertfordshire and currently work in a specialist NHS service for people with learning disabilities. I also have a special interest in working with people with psychosis and unusual experiences and much of my pre-training experience was in this area.

I am an experienced Psychotherapist offering individual, couples and family therapy, in Highgate Barnet & Finchley.Alongside my private practice,I have been working for Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation as a senior clinician and lecturer. I see psychotherapy is an opportunity to build understanding of the experiences we have had throughout our lives that contributed to the current narratives we hold about ourselves. These narratives not only can get in the way of personal growth and relationships, it can also impact our mental health in various ways and in turn lead to unhelpful patterns of behaviours and a sense of being stuck.

My approach is rooted in your wellbeing. I’m committed to helping you explore your motivations, aspirations, and desires—because your growth matters, and so does the suffering you’ve carried. As a Filipino-Mexican-American, I draw from lived experiences with identity, culture, migration, post/colonialism, otherness, and asian diaspora. These experiences allow me to meet each client with humility and respect for their unique experiences.

If you are reading this, it is likely that you have some concerns that you are ready to explore. Taking the step to book your first appointment can be an issue in itself. My aim is to offer you a space to feel safe and heard; a warm, confidential, and non-judgmental environment in which to speak freely and explore what’s happening and what’s possible. I am approachable, understanding, empathetic, and I listen. My training is in Humanistic Integrative Counselling. I have experience in working with emotional and mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, self-esteem, and feelings of being stuck.

You are probably here because you are facing some kind of crisis, or life transition, perhaps you have reached a point in your life where you want to understand why you feel, behave or react in the way you do, or you may simply be reaching for something you don’t yet understand. I will work with you in a creative and flexible way, really listening to your unique needs and determining what works for you. I draw on multiple therapeutic approaches and take a soulful and imaginative approach and consider what meaning we might make of the difficulties we face as well as looking to understand what events and patterns might have created

i am a person-centred counsellor with 30 years experience of working with people from all backgrounds and walks of life. I aim to provide a safe accepting place where you can explore your concerns. I have seen people who have been abused and traumatised in childhood, people who are worried about addiction, those who have suffered rape or domectic violence, people experiencing anxiety, depression or work related stress. Sometimes people don't come with a specific problem they can identify but want to increase their self awareness. I see individuals and couples on a long or short term basis.

Are you looking for therapy to help you explore, reflect and understand yourself better whilst creating opportunities for insight, choice and healing? My approach is formed by listening at a deep level as we engage in a therapeutic relationship which seeks to support and, at times, challenge you. We might explore practical ways to manage symptoms, whilst thinking together about the complex layers which underpin these.

Hi, I'm Amy. Coming to counselling and opening up to a complete stranger about things you may have never discussed before can be hugely daunting! I aim to make the process as easy, comfortable (and occasionally even fun) as possible while getting you to where you want to be. I work with people with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, self harm, early life trauma, sexual trauma and for some a wish to talk about a feeling but without necessarily knowing what it is but something simply doesn't quite feel right. The idea of opening up to a complete stranger about things you may have kept inside

Perhaps you’ve felt stuck for a while, or have been feeling that something isn’t right but can’t quite identify what that is. You may be anxious, depressed, have low self-esteem. Maybe you are struggling in relationships, or finding it difficult getting your needs met? You may have often felt that you don’t belong, or that you’re not supposed to be doing the work you do. Perhaps you’d like to feel less frustrated, angry or alone? You may be experiencing grief, or struggling with addiction, you might have low libido, or want to explore your sexuality. It might be a family or historic issue you’d like to make sense of. I can help.

I specialise in anxiety and depression, but whatever brings you to therapy right now I can support you and together we can explore what is the cause. I am passionate about empowering clients to develop and strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I help my clients consider new ways of viewing the world and guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours. The most important thing to me as a therapist is that I provide a warm and non-judgemental space for you to feel truly seen, heard and understood.

I am an integrative psychodynamic counsellor, registered and accredited with BACP, having practised in various sectors, including higher education, profit and non-profit organisations and private practice. Outside of counselling, I also teach and supervise trainee counsellors. I am committed to offering you a safe and empathic space in which, through collaborative exploration and reflection of your current circumstances or past experiences, you can raise your awareness of less conscious feelings, patterns of thinking and behaviour. I believe it is when we have access to this kind of understanding that profound changes can happen.
