Addiction Counselling in North West London
I have over 12 years of experience helping clients to navigate a range of mental health problems with particular expertise in depression, anxiety, addiction, relationships, bereavement and work-place problems.
Are you struggling with feelings of low self-esteem, shame or doubting yourself? Do you feel overwhelmed trying to juggle everything in your life? Perhaps you always aim to be the perfect partner/friend/colleague because you worry about what people may think of you? Constantly battling with feelings of insecurity and worthlessness can be very stressful, challenging and depressing. Perhaps you can't really be yourself with those closest to you?
Reaching out to a professional for help is already a big first step.

I work with adolescents and adults — individually, as couples, and in groups — who want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Many come when something feels stuck: anxiety, relational difficulties, or recurring patterns shaped by trauma, neglect, violence, or experiences of difference. My work is typically longer-term, making space to explore these patterns in depth. Clients are often reflective, and may be engaging questions of identity — race, sexuality, class, ability, or nationality — or navigating relational dynamics in their families or intimate relationships.

There are many reasons that bring people to therapy and the hard part is trying to find the right therapist for you. There are so many of us and some of the terms we use might be even more confusing and weird sounding. It doesn't have to be like that though. As a fully qualified and registered psychotherapist i see therapy as an opportunity to talk about whatever is troubling you in total confidence. As your therapist i won't be telling you what to do, however we will explore the conflicts and dilemmas you have and really look at what it means to "BE" you and have a greater understanding of your unique way of being in the world.

Perhaps you’re lost, in crisis, caught at a crossroad or stuck. Maybe you’ve experienced trauma, tragedy or loss. Your dreams and body may feel unsettled. Embarking on a therapeutic journey, with me, creates time and space - just for you. We might attend to the cries of your soul, the tenderness of your heart’s desires and concerns, alongside joys that enliven and trouble you. Being seen and heard can evoke relief, liberation and transformation; it can also feel daunting and frightening. Thus, with sensitivity and respect, I offer compassionate space to be listened to away from the noise of judgments and opinions.

Hello there, you may be considering therapy because a particular difficulty feels overwhelming, or because there is a more general sense that something in life, work, relationships, or within yourself is not quite working as well as it could. Therapy can provide an opportunity to think about these patterns with greater clarity. I work with adults, young people, couples and families experiencing challenges such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, life transitions, identity and belonging, professional challenges, and feelings of stuckness or dissatisfaction despite outward success.

You moved to London thinking the hard part was behind you. But you're further from home than you expected — not just geographically. Maybe it's the loneliness no one warned you about, or the relationship strain you didn't see coming, or the anxiety that seems louder here than it ever was back home.
As a fellow American living and working in London, I understand the particular ache of building a life abroad — and the complexity of doing inner work from the middle of it.
I offer online therapy for American expats in the UK and Europe, and for those navigating anxiety, trauma, codependency, and life transitions — wherever they are.

It's completely normal to face distressing events or feelings that can feel overwhelming, or even intolerable at times. These challenges can stem from various sources, such as relationship difficulties, work-related stress, illness, bereavement, or unknown causes, when the source of distress isn't immediately clear, leaving individuals feeling confused and overwhelmed. In these situations, talking therapy can be a valuable and helpful option.

You came in uncertain, maybe a little sceptical. You weren't sure therapy could help, or that anything could. But you did the work. Something shifted. Not magic, not overnight but real, lasting change that you still feel today. You moved forward. You built something better. And it was hard, but not as long as you expected.
I help people to move forward by making the process of therapy as short as I can, so patients can move on autonomously with tools that are long lasting.
If you're ready to be the kind of person who looks back a year from now and thinks that was the turning point, DoorToTherapy this is the right place to start.

Life can feel difficult; especially now when the world can feel scary and navigating relationships or life in general can feel hard. In these moments talking openly can be very powerful, easing and reduce troubling thoughts. This could be through exploring patterns of behaviour, responses to emotional situations or ways of being in relationships. Perhaps you’re feeling anxious, upset, low, overwhelmed by negative feelings, struggling in your relationships, recovering from trauma or just stuck? Either as an individual or as a partner in a relationship having a space to explore and understand yourself better can be really helpful.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.
