I am a qualified Psychodynamic counsellor. My training and my personal experience have led me to believe humans are connected with and influenced by their past, cultures, and families. By forming a safe and trusting relationship in therapy, we can see how past and existing connections unknowingly impact you and gain a deeper insight into your problems and a greater awareness of your own self and your way of relating. Discovering self can be scary and I strive to go along with you at your own pace. Being a woman and a therapist with an ethnic minority background have deepened my understanding of isolation and marginalisation.

Fear and other emotions, such as shame, as well as as familiar yet unhealthy patterns in our thinking, behaviour, and relationships can keep us stuck. Psychotherapy can help. In my work so far, I’ve witnessed many clients change and find healthier ways to connect to themselves and the world. I have practiced psychotherapy in Beirut and New York City, before coming to London.

SERVICES I PROVIDE: Like all forms of therapy, integrative therapy requires that you are open to exploring your fears, your hopes, your life, what is causing you challenges, and what you hope for your future. But if you like the idea of a therapy which is a bit more bespoke and less rigid than other forms, then integrative therapy might indeed be for you. Would you like to try this type of therapy?

As a fully qualified and insured counsellor and psychotherapist, I will work with you collaboratively, as a team focused on you, where you are the expert on your life and I provide empathy, challenge, insight and practical strategies.

All identities and orientations are respected and welcome.

I'm an integrative counsellor, which means that I don't believe there is a one size fits all approach when it comes to therapy. So I will tailor therapy according to your needs and who you are. I have a particular interest though in working creatively (I'm also a practising artist) and I believe passionately in the potential of creativity to heal. I have years of experience working with both women, children and young people, having worked for respected charities like Women's Aid, NSPCC and The National Domestic Violence Helpline and I feel passionate about enabling both groups to have their voices heard.

You might be anxious or depressed or hampered by repetitive and intrusive thoughts or feelings that prevent you enjoying life. You might be experiencing stress because of work or personal circumstances. You might have sexual problems or have lost the closeness and intimacy you once had with your partner. You might be worried about a dependency, addiction or a compulsive behaviour that has increasingly adverse consequences. You might feel lonely or isolated or be in conflict with family or friends. You might just have a specific problem that requires some thought or exploration. You might live in the shadow of unresolved trauma.

I practice under an integrative approach which means I draw from a variety of models and techniques of counselling and psychotherapy to ensure that anyone who comes to see me has the opportunity to be met and understood as a unique individual. I provide a safe, contained and confidential space, where you can explore your unique issues, providing a non-judgemental and supportive space for you to work at your own pace. The principal goal in therapy is to assist in the learning of trusting in your own process, which gives way to self-empowerment and the ability to make choices from a deeper part of yourself.

Abuse begins when someone who you are supposed to be able to trust begins to manipulate you, to accept mistreatment or their warped version of 'love'. I know the hurt you are experiencing and it has probably left you feeling confused, unsure of what "really" happened and this is a perfectly normal trauma response. You may be experiencing feelings of isolation and stress, self-doubt, low confidence. It may already be making it difficult for you to form relationships or causing relationship breakdown and psychical illnesses. This can happen several years after the incident. Let's have a conversation and change that!

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, 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.
