Couples Counselling in South Bank, London

Troubling thoughts, feelings, emotions, & repetitive behaviors can be safely explored & understood with the help of an experienced therapist. I work with individuals, couples and run groups. I help people who are experiencing a broad range of issues such as low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, anger, loneliness, rejection, infidelity, dependency, stuckness, eating disorders, abusive relationships, & seeking meaning in life. I use the psychodynamic model & CBT when necessary. Apart from being a therapist, I am a Lecturer at Birkbeck Uni on the MSc in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy course.

Please get in touch if you are having relationship or personal difficulties. I've worked with adults with mental health difficulties for over 25 years. My job is to help you find a way forward. I am an adult psychoanalytical psychotherapist, which means I can work with at depth, and for as long as it helps. I have easy to find and comfortable therapy rooms in SE1 and W1.

I am a UKCP registered Family and Systemic Psychotherapist, offering: Family Therapy, Couples Therapy and evidence based treatment for Eating disorders. I use ideas from the Systemic and Family Therapy schools, CBT, DBT and mindfulness. I have attended training and am particularly interested in Attachment Narrative Therapy (ANT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches which both stress the importance of strong attachment and connected relationships. I believe that each day we "dance", sometimes we "dance" alone, other times we "dance" together with our partners or family members.

Life...Relationships...Work.... I partner with individuals and couples  who want a place to reflect and make sense of their current difficulties so that they can get back on track. I offer a friendly, down to earth, research backed approach both online and face to face. I can provide counselling, psychotherapy and coaching, or a combination as determined by your unique needs. I start from the perspective that people make sense i.e. their behaviour and what they are experiencing have meaning that can be understood in the context of their history and their current life context.

Chartered psychologist, HCPC-registered in clinical, counselling, health and occupational psychology.

I address all psychopathologies. My goal is to provide you with a strong mental platform and the skills to help you keep your life in reach. Progress means change, rehearsing new ways of thinking or a range of strategies to iterate development safely. The result, a genuine approach for you to always find a better way forward.

Hello and Welcome. My interest in psychotherapy has developed over years of working in conflict environments and as an Executive Coach. So often, clients brought issues to coaching that needed deeper exploration: anxiety, depression, relationship problems, loss, bereavement, addiction to food, alcohol or other substances to relieve stress, low self esteem, and self-limiting beliefs. Counselling and psychotherapy provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can work through issues that are of concern to you. The therapeutic process can help you to make changes in your life, develop self awareness and improve well-being.

Creating a different version of ourselves can feel overwhelming as we desire to lead a more meaningful life. We all have different Human experiences and express ourselves in diverse ways, so would you like to experience art work, meditation, breath work, and authenticity to find deeper self-awareness for exploring the unknown parts of 'self' that exists in us all? Nothing is true, only our own perceptions, so I invite you to speak with freedom of expression, to remember that your hopes and dreams are valuable and achievable, and for us to create a tailored therapeutic approach that blends with your personal and emotional needs.

What can you expect? A relationship, essentially. I truly believe in creating a relationship that works for you, that can support you in becoming more who you are. I believe the journey together leads towards more authenticity and more psychological freedom. It is an exciting exploration of what really matters to you, particularly what has been neglected so far. My Psychosynthesis practice blends the exploration of here-and-now problem solving with a focus on what is trying to emerge, how you have been in the world, and what has impacted the expression of your full potential and fulfillment.

I am an integrative-relational counsellor, drawing on different philosophies and techniques and adopting those that are best suited to your individual needs. I specialise in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, early relational trauma, low self-esteem, bereavement and loss, stress, sexual abuse, family conflicts and existential crisis.

Having therapy can be a difficult decision, especially when you feel low, self-critical, lonely, anxious, not worthy of having this type of care for your own self. The power to feel better and release this pain is within you, and I can help you find it. Together we can learn the best way for you to reach and keep a good self-esteem and mental health. I offer a confidential space in which you can feel understood, cared for, free to talk about anything that you require. At your own pace, we can begin to explore what is on your heart and mind and find your strengths and resources to face the challenges you are going through.

I want to help all those who feel a deep sense of unease and want to find a way to feel better. This requires a willingness to embark on long-term therapy in which one's emotions and beliefs are explored more deeply.

Having trouble going to sleep? Or staying asleep? Perhaps you're waking up each morning feeling unrefreshed? If that's true for you, you're not alone. 1 in 10 people struggle with insomnia and it’s the most common sleep disorder. Insomnia can affect every aspect of life. It can make you feel exhausted in the day and less productive. It can affect your mood and even your physical wellbeing. The good news? There are effective specialist treatments available that can help you return to healthy and restorative sleep.

I aim for a warm and welcoming atmosphere as I believe it is important to feel comfortable in the room with your therapist. I am experienced in working with panic attacks, generalised anxiety, depression, work stress, OCD, relationship issues, conflict management, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts and grief and loss. The therapy hour last 50 minutes. This is your space and you can bring whatever you choose. All feelings and ideas are acceptable in the room and everything is confidential. Therapy moves at your pace and it is also your decision when to end therapy.

Are you finding life hard? Perhaps feeling isolated, lonely or overwhelmed by relationships, family or friendship difficulties? Maybe you find yourself seeking comfort in food, alcohol or drugs? Or, you find yourself excessively working, online shopping or using social media, etc? Do any of these things sound familiar? If so, and you are new to counselling or psychotherapy, I know how nervous you are probably feeling. Taking such a step can be challenging, so I am here to support you. I have been offering online counselling for several years and am currently available online for new clients.

We live in a challenging world. There are times in our lives when we must endure pain, stress and loss whilst holding our business and personal lives together. Some people choose to work through their issues alone, perhaps considering reaching for help is as a sign of weakness. However, all healthy humans require personal connections. Talking with someone who has no relationship to your daily life, willing to listen and understand your concerns can help. I understand the pressures of difficult emotions and circumstances.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship, or sexuality issues? Do you feel stuck and lacking support? Do you feel overwhelmed by difficult situations or struggling with low self-esteem? Are you going through a life transition and finding it difficult to cope? Many of us may face hardships in life at some point and such times can be stressful, frightening, and lonely. Seeking help or support is not always easy. Talking to friends and family may be difficult, if not impossible as we may experience rejection, shame, guilt when we are most vulnerable.

I was born and raised in multicultural societies all my life. Living in several different countries on 3 different continents (United Arab Emirates, Canada, Pakistan, Wales and England) has given me unique knowledge about culturally adapting therapy. It has also taught me to understand and work with many different kinds of people. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with the client to create a safe and comfortable space to address and potentially alleviate psychological trauma.

I offer a safe, welcoming and supportive space to people who are facing difficulty in their lives. Some clients come to see me because of anxiety and stress, or are struggling with a lack of confidence and low self-esteem. Others come to therapy with relationship issues, such as, workplace challenges, loneliness, breakups, or loss. Sometimes, people come for personal development, feeling lost, stuck, or powerless. Working through challenges alone is difficult. Together we can help you manage how you feel, develop your inner resources, and explore the choices you have. Our time together is confidential and we work at your own pace.
