Addiction Counselling in North West London
I hope to provide you with a sense of how I work in this profile. I am a skillful, diligent and sensitive therapist. I´ve worked for over 25 years in mental health. I have a particular interest in the way many of us still live our lives in "survival mode" and struggle to thrive. My approach is gentle yet challenging. Our work will be determined by the changes you wish to effect in your life and the pace that feels safest to you. We may explore past experiences and the way in which you adapted to "survive" - adaptations that are still present in your day to day life. This is described as a "trauma-informed" approach.

It is never too late to experience the childhood you didn't get, through care, safety, and self-compassion.
And it is never too late to discover your true self, beyond survival, beyond roles, and beyond the past.

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.

I work pluralistically from a contemporary biopsychosocial framework that incorporates all aspects of self and I believe that you have many of the answers you are seeking within yourself. My objective is to build a safe and holding space for a trusting relationship where you can explore and share your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and problems/difficulties. Clients often seek therapy because of symptoms affecting their everyday life. However, they are often unaware of the root cause of their self-sabotaging behaviours, relationship issues, and emotional numbness. I also provide a more focused work as a single-session therapy (SST)

Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

Welcome — I’m really glad you’re here.
I’m an Integrative Intersectional Transactional Analysis Psychotherapist in Advanced Training, with a strong belief in the power of human connection and each person’s capacity for change.
At the heart of my work sits intersectionality — an understanding that our experiences are shaped by the many parts of who we are, such as our culture, race, gender, sexuality, class, and life experiences. I hold this awareness at the core of my practice, offering a space where all aspects of your identity are acknowledged, respected, and safe to explore.

I am an experienced bilingual professionally qualified Jungian and psychodynamic psychotherapist specialised in adult psychotherapy. I am passionate about helping people who are going through emotional struggles and need help with their symptoms. Our sessions together imply hard work from both of us in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself. This, in turn, can help create a better and more positive connection with yourself and with the people around you. My understanding of human and psychological development, together with an emphasis on attachment patterns and the psychology of complexes are pillars which support my work.

As a BACP registered psychodynamic psychotherapist/counsellor, I have experience of working with adults whose issues include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, gender identity, addiction, bereavement, eating disorders and relationship issues I can work with you on either a long-term, ongoing basis or we can agree to a short-term contract.
If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re feeling out of sorts and would like some help and support to feel better. Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball that leaves us feeling overwhelmed or maybe you’ve had enough of feeling depressed and anxious, angry or sad. Perhaps you’re tired of repeating certain patterns of behaviour or relationships that leave you feeling empty and disappointed. I recognise it takes a lot of courage to seek help. My role is to help you understand better why you sometimes feel, think, or behave the way you do. With that knowledge in hand, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

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.

I am a HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist and BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist. Asking for help isn’t always easy. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Perhaps life has changed suddenly, or slowly gotten on top of you. You may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationship difficulties, or long-standing patterns that no longer serve you. My aim is to offer a supportive, safe space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace. Together, we can work to understand what's getting in the way and work toward meaningful, sustainable change.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, neurodiversity, addiction, bipolarity, childhood trauma, existential concerns, identity issues, relationship issues.
I work integratively, an approach which can help clients understand the impact of early life events on their attachment style, patterns of response and behaviour. It can be used to understand the unconscious influences in our lives. It may lead to an examination of the fundamental beliefs that underpin relations with the world and a search for meaning.

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.

Life is difficult at times, and you do not have to go through it alone. You may be living with persistent stress, anxiety or low mood without understanding why, or noticing physical symptoms that may seem to express what has long remained unspoken. You might feel the pressure to meet expectations that never end, or trying to process past trauma and difficult relationships that keep resurfacing. Perhaps your are struggling with chronic illness, grief, cultural transitions, or the quiet loneliness of feeling far from “home” — externally or internally. Whatever it is, I am here to listen to you and explore this together.
