Career Guidance Counselling in South London
At times, things can feel overwhelming and looking for a therapist is a big step, but one that puts you on the right path to better mental health.
Life is rarely straightforward and sometimes we need help to unpick areas that are beginning to feel problematic - anxiety, depression, low mood, self-doubt, overwhelm can all be challenging. Dealing with life events such as menopause, workplace burnout, sexual or gender identity can all lead to us not knowing where to turn. If this is you, if you need a safe, non-judgmental space to talk, to feel heard in a warm and compassionate space then perhaps I can help you move forward.

They can be stuck for many reasons, but commonly this is anxiety, depression or life events, including the death of someone close, the loss of a job or illness, to name a few.
I work integratively, which means that I have a toolkit of approaches that we choose from, guided by where the source of your problems lie, e.g. if you believe you have several parts of you that argue internally, we may run an experiment to make the conversations explicit so we can examine the internal conflict and negotiate a way forward.

I work with adults who are trying to make sense of where they are and what comes next. You may be dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, loss or significant change, or finding that work, achievement or responsibility no longer feel quite the same. Sometimes life looks fine from the outside but doesn't feel that way on the inside. You may not know exactly what needs to change. Counselling offers a space to step back, think differently and begin to understand what you really want.

As my ideal client, you're a professional, facing tricky obstacles at work or at home, who knows that you've got to grow to live better. You know about personal development, but are unconvinced by the usual solutions. You want to know how all your problems fit together, and develop a step by step programme for personal change, that addresses the difficulties you face in priority order. You don't see yourself as "mentallly ill"; rather, you're stuck in a difficult place on the journey of life. You're looking for the support, knowledge and skills to get to a better place, a map and a straightforward guide on the path to wellbeing.

Does anxiety feel like it's controlling your life? Perhaps your mind never switches off. You replay conversations, overthink decisions, imagine the worst or constantly doubt yourself. You may be living with panic attacks, health anxiety, OCD or a relentless pressure to get everything "right". Anxiety can leave you exhausted and disconnected from the life you want to live. The good news is that these patterns are understandable, treatable and don't have to define your future.

I work with people (mainly men) who feel stressed, depressed, anxious, or perhaps a little bit lost and need some help to relax, feel more self-confident and balanced, and more able to cope and enjoy their lives more happily. We can all feel down, depressed, and lost at times, but with gentleness, patience, and support it can be changed. Some of my clients just need help getting clear on their aims and goals and taking action to get there. Some clients need more ongoing support to help them cope with day-to-day stresses, and also with building their self-confidence and self-esteem.

I support individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating intimate relationships, marriage, family dynamics, friendships and professional relationships. My aim is to help you feel more understood and less conflicted. Emotional difficulties rarely exist in isolation, and therapy can help you understand how they are interconnected. Anxiety can affect relationships, past experiences , trauma can shape self-esteem, and life changes can bring difficult feelings to the surface, affecting your confidence and how you respond to stress and change.

I’m a Clinical Psychologist, working with high achievers who struggle with high functioning anxiety, self-confidence and self-esteem, burnout, stress, and relationship difficulties.

I like to work with the heart of a matter, rather than treat symptoms at a surface level. I work with both adolescents and adults, and have over 13 years experience in mental health. I have a fantastic team of Psychologists working with me, and we also specialise in ASD and ADHD assessments.

When life feels overwhelming, whether it’s anxiety, stress, low mood, or feeling stuck, it can be hard to know where to turn. You might be used to holding things in or managing on your own, but you don’t have to do that here.

Your background, culture, and life experiences are part of who you are. You won’t need to justify who you are; you’ll be met with respect, understanding, and care.

I am Relate trained specialising in Relationship and Sex Therapy. In order to keep our relationships healthy we need to attend to them to ensure they remain respectful, trusting, sexual and happy. Because of the busyness of day to day life, we can easily disconnect from our partners without realising it leading to a lack of communication, conflict, affairs, and dissatisfaction. When married, or when children are involved, these problems become even more complex. It might even be that since the country's lockdown, you are now realising there are issues in your relationship. Now could be a good time to resolve these.

Career Guidance Counsellors
How do I know if I need career counselling?
Determining whether a career counsellor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counselling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counsellor.
Who can benefit from career counselling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counselling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counselling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counsellor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counselling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.
How long does career counselling typically last?
The length of career counselling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counselling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counsellor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.
How to prepare for career counselling?
Clients can prepare for career counselling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counsellor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counsellor, particularly if the career counsellor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counselling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
