I have worked as an NHS therapist for Lambeth Talking Therapies, and within the charity sector providing counselling for the parents of neurodivergent children.
Life can be a difficult and painful experience that leaves us disconnected from who we are. Therapy can help us understand, reconnect to and develop our relationship with ourselves. Deep within all of us, there lies a profound and powerful drive to grow. No matter who we are, what we do or how we live, there is a part of us that is striving to flourish, to thrive, to become.

I am an integrative psychotherapist that works with young people and adults. I have a calm and compassionate approach and value the importance of building a safe and trusting relationship with my client. I use a range of approaches depending on what the client needs. I can work creatively or also offer talking based psychotherapy. Sometimes words may not be present, and art making or writing can allow the individual to express difficulties in a non invasive way. I respect each individuals uniqueness, and offer warmth and compassion to support them through their journey.

Taking the first steps towards seeking help can be daunting. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated or confused about how to initiate change and healing. In our therapy sessions, we will work together to explore your life experiences, challenges and emotions. This may take place in varying forms depending on what works for you. I am trained as Integrative Psychotherapist and Arts Psychotherapist so can adapt my way of working for you to find exactly what you need from therapy. A session may focus on looking at your childhood or past experiences, or it may be centred in here-and-now difficulties.

Art Therapy is suitable for all ages and every stage of life, including people whose lives have been affected by difficult life experiences, systemic inequality and oppression, neurodiversity, illness and/or disability. Being skilled in art or in a craft is not necessary to benefit. Instead, there is a need to be open to the possibilities of the process involved. Like with any therapy, the process can be challenging as uncomfortable feelings and painful memories may emerge. At the heart of the space that we would share is a robust and meaningful relationship which is reliable, affirmative and reflective.

Everyone copes with difficult feelings and life situations in their own way. But there are times when we feel stuck or overwhelmed, and strategies that once helped no longer seem effective. This might follow the loss of a relationship, a life transition, or even being deeply affected by something that seems small or insignificant.

Life can be difficult and overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling lost and stuck in the present, or perhaps hopeless and anxious about what the future holds. I’m PuiSum, a qualified counsellor, and I offer a supportive space for you to process your thoughts, experiences, and feelings. Everyone is unique, and I do not reduce individuals to a list of ‘issues.’ However, I have supported individuals navigating themes such as anxiety & depression, bereavement, trauma, (childhood/intergenerational), cultural identity/migration, existential questioning gender identity/sexuality, relationships/ family difficulties, neurodiversity.

I am a systemic psychotherapist and relationship coach specialising in RLT couples therapy. I work with couples who are stuck in patterns of conflict and disconnection and want to find ways to change them. No couple is the same, however it is common for couples to come to therapy when they may be considering separating, taking the next step in their relationship or repairing a significant rupture between them. Whatever the reason that may bring a couple to therapy, I work confidentially with you to explore your unique dynamics, the issues and contexts that underpin them and develop new ways of relating to yourself and your partner.

You may feel worn down by anxiety, low mood, trauma, or tired of navigating expectations.

I believe counselling is where heart and soul connect. I take a holistic approach in counselling to balance physical, mental/emotional and spiritual well-being. When life is difficult and uncomfortable, our instinct is to fight or move away from it. I offer a safe space to explore obstacles and find a way forward so you can let go of what doesn’t serve you anymore. I provide a place for you to be seen, heard and valued. My professional experience outside of therapy encompasses social work, adolescent services, women’s health care, and special educational needs.
