As an Integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space at my therapy spaces at Brick Lane or Angel. Choosing the right therapist is a challenging first step. Nonetheless, you know that you need to explore, understand and heal. However, it is not uncommon for you to feel uncertain about exactly what you want but that something is not working for you. What I offer, is a therapy that allows space to gain clarity for a better relationship with yourself and better navigate your wellbeing needs.

Seeking therapy is a sign of courage in the depths of conflict. Currently, you may be troubled or overwhelmed, not knowing what is happening either within you, your partner or communicatively between your couple. To be understood and appreciated while conveying the same qualities to another person is an essential component of any satisfying relationship, but it is one that takes an emotional commitment from those involved in finding a resolution. The question I often ask my clients is, "Can you bear the difference of the other, or even tolerate the possibility that they may have a different perspective to the one in your mind?"

It’s not unusual to have feelings that weigh us down and reach a stage of great distress and hopelessness. Whether you feel you are in crisis or just want to get to grips with thoughts and feelings that may be disturbing you, I can help. You might feel anxiety, depression, anger or shame. You might be having relationship problems or going through big changes in your life like the loss of a loved one or a job that have a big impact on you and you need help to cope with. Or there may be something inside you that you have lived with for some time and that gets in the way and prevents you from leading a fuller and happier life.

Our health and wellbeing come from having meaningful and satisfying relationships with others and ourselves, and from being able to come to terms with what is going on in our lives. By understanding and uncovering what is causing us distress, and by getting to know ourselves better, we can feel more empowered and in control of our lives. I really believe that paying attention to our unconscious and being curious about ourselves and our inner lives can help us achieve a more balanced and integrated sense of self.

You might be worried about how a relationship is going, or struggling to find or maintain relationships. You might be feeling lost or unsure about the direction you want to take in life. Therapy can also help you with issues around self-esteem, identity and anxiety. I have worked with people who want to resolve longstanding issues or heal from traumatic past experiences, as well as those who want a space to explore their feelings around life transitions or want help to gain a fresh perspective on something.

I have always been fascinated by the complexity of human beings, their darkness and their lights. I consider the therapeutic room not only as a space for self-reflection and exploration of what feels difficult to process on your own, but also a place to speak the unspeakable. Therapy can provide an opportunity to challenge behaviours that may appear unchangeable or automatic. As a practitioner I am interested in the integration of cultural and gender studies and have experience working with depression, isolation, sexual identity, existential difficulties, relational dilemmas and bereavement.

Most people do and most people feel they have no other option but to stay feeling that way. The truth is that everyone will experience difficulties and difficult situations either in their personal or work life. Some are harder to deal with on your own. A friendly, experienced, listening ear can really make a positive difference to your life.

If you wanted to take up yoga or change your body you would join a yoga class with an instructor or sign up to sessions with a personal trainer at a gym. Someone who would be able to look at you from the outside, give you pointers how to improve the way you are exercising and offer their assistance should you need it. Even if you are doing exercises in front of a mirror you won't be able to see yourself from every angle. I can be that mirror for you as I believe that's how therapy should work.

Maybe your anxious or depressed and are finding it hard to do the things you used to love, and it's difficult spending time with the people you call family and friends as you currently feel so disconnected from them. Maybe you are feeling extremely sad and broken over a heartbreak, a death of a relative or a different loss such as an identity. Maybe you cannot understand what happened to you in the past but know at some level it has played a part in where you find yourself today. Psychodynamic therapy can help, and I would love in partnership to walk with you on that journey.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
