I aim to establish a kind, engaged and attuned therapeutic relationship where your needs and preferences are at the heart of our work together.
Sometimes it’s difficult to admit we are struggling, show our vulnerability and ask for help. But when we get ‘stuck’ and can’t see a way out, it can be helpful to have someone impartial and non-judgemental to talk things through with, to help us make sense of the challenges we are facing in life. Life is an inevitably difficult process to manage as it is always dynamic and changing. As human beings and social creatures, we navigate multiple relationships, search for meaning and purpose in our lives, balance responsibility with choice and freedom, and endure physical and emotional pain, loss and loneliness.

I specialise in working with people who struggle with emotions, identity issues, self-esteem, and relationship difficulties. Clients I see also tend to struggle with behaviours they feel are self-destructive. I aim for my work to intersectional and decolonial, recognising the power that oppression can have on our mental health.

All is welcome to be explored in the therapy room, such as your anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues or loneliness.
I particularly can relate to the challenges of being born as 1st generation immigrant child and the confusion it may bring about your sense of identity and belonging. Therefore, I particularly enjoy working with clients who want to explore cultural, self-esteem or identity issues and/or traumas.

I work with a range of issues, including depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties.
In my approach, I combine talking therapy with body-based and creative practices, such as movement, drawing and play. I often find it helps people with expression, especially working through trauma, and can be used as a great source of self-support. I also pay particular attention to the relationship between client and therapist and what emerges between us.

My experience includes working with: anxiety: panic attacks, chronic worry/intrusive thoughts, low self-esteem, impact of experiencing childhood bullying/violence, relationship/sexuality issues, stress, CPTSD.
Finding the right therapist for you is as much about their style and personality as their qualifications. I value warmth, collaboration, and humour when appropriate and I endeavour to bring these qualities to my practice. My work is integrative which means I can use different theories to suit each individual client's needs. I draw on relational psychoanalysis, attachment theory, Internal Family systems, ACT and humanistic approaches. I am also influenced by my interest in film and literature. I am an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I am practised at working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.
Everyone is different and I tailor my approach to you. However I believe that our early relationships and experiences have a profound impact on how we feel and behave, and on what we believe about ourselves and the world around us. At the heart of how I work is attunement to your experience of the world, and how this emerges in the present.

In terms of couple therapy, I consider that the relationship itself is a third person in the room so I regard overcoming gridlocks and uncovering latent patterns between partners as significant.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
