Difficulties in romantic and family relationships can cause anger, distress, resentment and deep unhappiness.
I work intergratively and collaboratively, that is to say I draw on different psychological therapies, including CBT, Narrative and Attachment ideas and techniques, depending on the challenges and stories brought into the therapy room by the client(s). I work within an overarching Systemic framework which pays special attention to supporting individuals, couples and families to find the strengths of their relationships so as to make disturbing symptoms less problematic. It is not just about problems however, Systemic therapy is  built on a bedrock of hope, focusing on resilience and resourcefulness.

Life is full of adversity, which at times prove too overwhelming or painful for our coping mechanisms. In addition, the trauma may be too intimate to share with friends or family members. This is the point when therapy can prove to be of valid help. Therapy can also support you through life transition and help you to process a significant life event. It offers a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space to talk through and explore past experiences that influences the way we are today. It can help in prioritising what really matters, unblocks creativity and provides tools to turn crises into opportunities.

Are you searching through here knowing that you have family, friends who love, care about you yet you feel alone with no one who you feel you can talk to. No one you feel that you can be your "real" and "honest" self. Worried that you may hurt or upset their feelings or that they may even judge you. At times during different stages of our life's we can experience challenges, change, loss, pain or suffering that can be hard for us to understand. These feelings and emotions can have an impact on us as individuals in a unique way.

Do you feel exhausted and stuck in unhelpful patterns? Maybe your relationships with family, friends, or colleagues can be difficult, and you feel misunderstood, anxious and isolated. Sometimes we aren’t always aware of the reasons that are making us feel this way. You might be holding onto anger, shame, sadness, without the support to help navigate these feelings and create the changes you need. As a therapist who works with clients who have these experiences, I aim to provide a safe, inclusive, neuro-affirming environment to explore your emotions and to help you make sense of them.

Here are some of the issues I have helped clients explore: depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement, loss, anger, family relationships, relationships with partners, self-harm, lack of self esteem, suicidal thoughts, health-related issues, self-development, creativity, mindfulness, spirituality, search for meaning.
If you decide to work with me it will be rather like setting out on a journey together. On that journey I’ll be your fellow traveller, companion and guide. Whether or not your reason for coming to see me is an external situation that’s impacting your life, a key part of our time together will be to explore your inner world. As we explore that world together you may develop greater insight into patterns of thought and behaviour that served you once but now limit you; you may find alternative ways of approaching difficulties; you may discover a way of being in the world that is more in tune with who you truly are.

I’m interested in what works. For you. So I take a pluralistic, integrative approach and don’t limit myself to one particular way of working. Whether you’re seeing me for counselling, schema-based therapy or psychosexual therapy, I'll tailor my approach to suit your needs. And it’s the relationship between you and I which will be central to the work. Because I’m not a friend, colleague or family member, you can think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable in a judgement-free space. You can rely on me to be honest with you, and bring into your awareness your blind spots, and things on the edge of your awareness you might missing.

Life can be tough, especially when things happen that we can't control. We can find ourselves in unhappy situations and patterns, and it can be hard to know what to do. We might be unable to enjoy the present, because of the sadness or anger in our past or our fear of the future. We may find ourselves acting in ways that we don't like, or struggling to maintain relationships that are important to us. While everyone’s situation is different, I have experience supporting clients with a range of challenges, including: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, relationship and family issues, and identity concerns.

Experienced, registered therapist with practices Hackney and London Bridge. People come to me for many reasons – depression, anxiety, addictive or compulsive behaviour, trauma, loss, family issues, relationship problems. Sometimes it's to navigate a life stage or make sense of one particular event or crisis; sometimes clients can't seem to live life as they want to. I welcome people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds. My previous career was the arts and media so I often see clients with an interest in developing or exploring their creativity in some way and I understand your therapy has to work in the real world.

Central to my therapeutic approach is the belief that the solutions to life’s challenges lie within us, not outside. By learning to love and accept ourselves as we are, we can develop greater empathy for others, improve our relationships, and create the life we desire. I believe that most people can benefit from therapy, as it provides a space where you can freely express yourself without the worry of upsetting friends or family. In therapy, you can discuss your issues with someone who will not judge you or dictate your actions, allowing you to explore your options and make choices.
