Counselling in North London, London

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist (CPsychol), registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have over 10 years experience of working in mental health settings across the NHS and private practice. I have additional training in specialist modalities including Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. Everyone has their own unique challenges and struggles and so I provide a tailored approach to therapy, drawing from a range of evidence-based models, to suit your individual needs.

I am passionate about peoples stories, there is a richness in Human Connection and the internal world. Therapy is not something that is very sought out in my culture and i found that there is often a disconnect with people from certain backgrounds (E.g Race, Class, Gender, Age etc.) and Mental Health Professionals.

I’m an experienced psychotherapist trained to the highest level in my profession with a doctorate in psychotherapy and counselling psychology. I believe that psychotherapy can create a non-shaming, safe space for you to explore the unsaid, to give voices to thoughts and feelings previously unknown. Psychotherapy can be challenging but growthful work that could increase awareness of yourself, create new meanings, and live life more in the present. Research shows that the most important factor in the success of therapy is client motivation - you have to really want to change for it to happen, and I am here to support that journey.

By reaching out, we can work toward making things feel more manageable. I welcome you to a trusting and safe space for us to navigate together the difficulties you are experiencing. I work with adults, young people and especially women, to help nurture a greater sense of Self and confidence. My focus is: self-worth, relationship difficulties, parenting, work, depression, anxiety and managing change. My aim is to be beside you and guide you toward greater clarity and calm in your life.

Are you finding life difficult right now? Whether it is anxiety, low mood, a recent loss, a transition in life, relationship difficulties or a sense of just feeling out of sorts. I'm here to help and support you. My experience lies with counselling adults, children and families.I truly believe we can all work towards being our best selves, sometimes we just need the tools and support to get us there!

I am a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor specialising in an integrative approach drawing on Person-Centred theory. I believe that everyone is different and need different considerations. I have personally experienced many of life's challenges and completely understand that everyone's journey is unique to them. I am a fully registered member of BACP, fully insured and DBS checked.

If you are feeling stuck in certain behaviours or emotional responses I can work with you to support growth and change. I will endeavour to work with all of your intersections: culture, origins, and gender/sexual creativity. Sex positive, I have facilitated clients, including students, who identify as gender queer, trans and pansexual, tackling depression and anxiety amongst other issues.

It may be that you want to discuss a current life event, or something that has been troubling you for some time. Being listened to with empathy and non-judgement can help you to deal with issues that are causing distress or unhappiness. The cause can be known or they maybe unknown. Relationships can get stuck in repetitive patterns. Issues that therapy can help with and that are often hard to overcome include: low self esteem, relationship issues , depression, childhood trauma, sexual issues, anxiety and stress . I also work with bereavement, loss, addiction and substance misuse , health related issues.

Thank you for stopping by. Seeking help can be challenging; there is the worry if the therapist is the right person for you. If you are strong enough to take a look at what is troubling you, or what may come up as you start to think about things beyond the immediate problem. I offer a space where you can take time to unpack what you have held on to for a while. Or what you may have been surprised by recently. Perhaps your dealing with something that has simply left you feeling overwhelmed? In any case, it may come as no surprise to you, but as you read you have made a start; maybe we can see where this opportunity may lead.

I am an integrative psychotherapist, counsellor and drama therapist. I work with adolescents and adults, and have done so for over 15 years. This ranges from schools, health care settings, ranging from Norwood Children & Family Centres, Shaftsbury High School (special needs) and within the NHS at The Kingswood Centre. In addition, during the last 5 years,​ I have developed my private practice in which I have worked with clients with a wide variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, low self– confidence, low self–esteem, loss and bereavement, relationship difficulties, sexuality and self– harm.

It’s hard to control intrusive thoughts, to be stuck with difficult feelings, or without someone to understand what you are struggling with. And it can often be deeply frustrating, isolating and painful to barely manage issues that stop you living the life you want. One thing I'm sure of is that people need people to understand themselves. I offer a free phone session to help establish a connection, with everything confidential and no obligation at any time. Your challenges, and their solutions, are as unique as you are - I’m here to help you find them. It's good that you have made this step, I’d like to help you take some more.

You may decide to seek individual therapy for different reasons: ​ you may be experiencing some difficulties or changes in your life affecting you and/or their family and significant others. ​ You may also decide to come to therapy to have an opportunity to think about how you would like to improve your life, confidence and self-esteem. ​ In our initial appointment, we will have a chance to discuss what your goals are and what change you would like to see and to assess if I am the right fit for you.

I am a ​fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in Central/North London. I specialise in attachment, self-worth, relational issues and cultural/ identity issues. I provide a safe, warm and non-judgemental space to explore what is going on in your life. Any issue, big or small is valued, and together we can work through anything from daily struggles to deep-rooted issues. In a fast-paced world, with constant pressures on us, it can be difficult to find the emotional and physical space for yourself and your feelings. This is what I can help you with.

Hi! I’m Amy. I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist. I was very lucky to really enjoy going to university to study psychology. I quickly knew it was the area I wanted to work in and so began my journey in training to be one, completing masters and doctorate degrees along the way! I’ve worked with lots of different people, including children and young people, older adults and people with intellectual disabilities, neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions. I have also worked with include both child and adult eating disorders, OCD, psychosis, stroke rehabilitation and people who have offended who are staying in hospital.

I work with children and young people to help them cope with anxiety, loss of confidence and other barriers to negative mental health. This includes social anxiety, trauma, phobias, eating disorders and addiction. I work with a variety of clients including those with additional needs such as ASC, ADHD, Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties and young people with medical and physical conditions such as cerebral palsy.

It is hard when you're not feeling at your best - whether it be a low mood, feeling vulnerable, anxious, or lonely - to even get through the day, never mind having a good one. Maybe you're not getting enough support, or even the right kind of support form your friends and loved ones. Talking to a counsellor is different, as it offers an alternative environment to everyday life - free from judgement - and experience being accepted and understood. Under such conditions, when enough trust is built, we will hopefully be able to explore your material and work through whatever is getting in the way, while increasing your self-awareness.

Perhaps you’re seeking understanding, clarity, or healing while confronting challenging experiences, transitions, or making complex decisions. Maybe you don’t know exactly what brings you to therapy, but something is missing in your life, or not quite working. Maybe you desire personal growth or feel stuck.

I have had the privilege of working with people who struggle with their mental health, for over 10 years. I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Oxford University. My background is rather diverse, having grown up in 6 different countries (Ethiopia, Cyprus, Zambia, Fujairah, Germany and England). As a psychologist, I have lived and practiced in England, China and most recently in Mexico. I have worked with people across the life span, with children, families and couples. I also have extensive experience working with children and adults who struggled profoundly in their early attachment relationships.

Maybe you feel as though you are negotiating between intersecting parts of yourself such as your mind, body, heart and soul and you’re finding it difficult to find a balance that feels sincere to you. Perhaps this back and forth is affecting how you behave with your family, friends or partner and you’re finding it difficult to cope. You want to live a life where you can integrate more aspects of yourself and feel more whole, to hear and trust yourself, without fear of feeling shame, feeling seen or even feeling truly known by those who matter most to you.
