Anxiety Counselling in South London
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, and I have a particular interest and additional experience in supporting people with: Anxiety, Depression, Past Childhood, Current Relationship Struggles, Traumatic Bereavement and Loss and Complex Trauma.
I have worked with people from different backgrounds suffering from anxieties and feelings of despair and depression. Self criticism and criticism towards others may lead to isolation and low self esteem. People may not understand their feelings or why similar patterns in relationships occur. Grief from a loss, such as a bereavement, may too elicit a wide range of difficult feelings making it hard to cope. Whilst the facts of the past cannot be changed your story can become updated in therapy, and help un-addressed difficulties feel more manageable. Consequently, therapy can be a catalyst for growth and healing.

Repetitive patterns, unconscious processes, often drive self-criticism, intimacy difficulties & persistent anxiety or depression.
Please do get in touch if you are experiencing relationship or personal difficulties. I’ve been helping those suffering psychological problems for over a decade. Primarily an Adult & Young person Counsellor / Psychotherapist, I’m frequently approached by people in creative or performance roles, the Arts, TV, Sport, etc. While specific issues often bring us to counselling, I work at depth from a psychoanalytically informed vantage where the broader landscape of emotional life is brought into frame. From comfortable rooms in London Bridge, SE1 & Stamford, PE9, I can also work with you online, a popular but no less effective format.

Psychoanalytic (and psychodynamic) psychotherapy aims to go deep into your emotions, with the aim of gradually removing distress (including trauma, anxiety and depression).
Do you feel like you’re repeating the same struggles in your relationships, your career, or your inner life, despite your best efforts to change? Real change happens when we go beyond just managing symptoms.
As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I help you "dig deep" - uncovering the hidden roots and experiences that shape how you think and feel today. Together, we will create a space to explore your inner world, helping you understand your motives and gain the clarity needed to break self-destructive cycles.
Contact me to schedule a free 15 minute discussion where we can discuss your needs further.

Patterns, anxiety, depression, past trauma, grief, or uncertainty in relationships can make it hard to feel grounded or connected to yourself.
At the heart of my practice is an atmosphere of safety, warmth, empathy, and acceptance. I believe that feeling truly heard and understood is an essential part of the healing process. My aim is to accompany you in exploring your experiences, deepening self-awareness, and supporting your journey toward growth and change.

Essentially, counselling and psychotherapy offers us an opportunity to learn about ourselves. And none more so than when faced with the emotional challenges that are often part of everyday life. At these times we may feel on our own, stuck and unsure of which way to turn. It may also be difficult to find someone we can trust and who will understand, or, in such a busy world, someone who has the time to listen. This is when a counsellor or a psychotherapist can help. I offer a calm, caring, safe, respectful and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Everyone has the right to happiness. We all face challenges in life. Some, because of the cards they're dealt, face many.

I had to find these things in my own life, digging deep to get through a time of confusion and despair. My job is to help you do it too.

Anxiety Counsellors
When should I seek treatment for anxiety?
Everyone feels anxious at times, but when anxiety causes disruption to your daily life, it may be time to seek help. Such disruption can be mental, physical, or both: having fear dominate your thoughts, avoiding situations or objects that bring on feelings of anxiety, or experiencing shortness of breath, sweating, dizziness, or panic attacks. When these symptoms are recurrent and distressing, it may be time to talk to someone.
What are the most common types of treatment for anxiety?
Talk therapy, particularly cognitive behavioural therapy, is the most common treatment for anxiety. Studies have shown it is equally effective as medication. Other forms of therapy are popular, depending on a patient’s experience. Exposure therapy, for instance, can be useful for people dealing with fears and phobias, or who have experienced traumatic events. Dialectical Behavioural Therapy may be useful for patients who need help with emotion regulation. Anxiolytic medications, like benzodiazepines, can also help with calming a person enough to focus on the skills they’ve learned, and physical exercise has been shown to help symptoms of anxiety across the board.
How long does therapy for anxiety take to work?
The amount of time needed to alleviate symptoms depends on the severity of a person’s condition. Some therapies may take 5-20 weekly sessions to show results. Anti-depressant medications typically take two to four weeks before a benefit is felt. Anti-anxiety medications are felt typically within 20-30 minutes. Medications are best used to offer a patient a better headspace in which to work on techniques learned in therapy. Exercise, improved sleep habits, and meditation are effective, but takes weeks or months to show results.
How effective is treatment for anxiety?
Treatment for anxiety has been shown to be moderately to highly effective, according to a large body of psychology studies and analyses. For some people, treatment using CBT or exposure therapy alone is effective. Others respond best to a combination of medication and therapy.
