Counselling in Southfields, London

Clients often come to me when they are feeling overwhelmed and stressed or in a rut. Together we can figure out what's going on for you and how you would like things to be different. I can help you to develop compassion toward yourself, boosting your self-esteem and facilitating a way for you to move forward with more confidence. We are able to do so much more with our lives and relationships when we are on our own team and I can assist with getting you there.

Finding the right person to trust and talk to can feel difficult, but together we can explore your issues, in a safe place where you will be heard fully; and where you will be able to process your thoughts openly without judgement. As a qualified integrative counsellor, I draw upon a person-centred, humanistic and psychodynamic approach. This places my client’s best interest first; to facilitate the safe and trusted exploration of current and past conflicts, trauma and/or struggles affecting you today.

I am an experienced Counselling Psychologist who offers you a space that is confidential and supportive, where you can talk about any aspects of your life that are troubling you. I work with difficulties like anxiety, panic attacks, stress, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, low mood, depression, grieving, relationship difficulties, work place issues, low self esteem, family problems or trauma. You might have past or present experiences affecting you, or you might feel confused in knowing what the problem is.

My focus is clients who see themselves as Carers, to another person, people or group - whose quality of daily life is in part or whole, is largely dependent on the care provided. My clients have lost the ability to see themselves as separate from their caring, or to put their own needs first. Life has has become blurred-like trying to see in a fogged-up mirror. Often clients want to 'just' unburden, tentatively trying out the novel feeling of hearing their own voice, exhausted, angry, overlooked and ironically, not well cared for themselves, very often managing their own

Many people come to therapy feeling low, anxious, or lost, and I offer a space to explore those feelings and identify opportunities for doing things differently. Building a rich picture of who you are can help us make change in the areas that are important to you, and I believe the most important thing in any therapy space is that you can feel safe and heard. I draw on a range of approaches (e.g. CBT, compassion-focused and narrative therapy), with a particular focus on values, self-compassion and identity. I am experienced in supporting adults of all ages with a range of issues, such as low mood, stress, anxiety and shame.

Are you feeling depressed, anxious, or just not yourself? Maybe recent events or past traumas are making it hard for you to cope. I can support you while you explore your concerns which, in turn, can help you find new ways of dealing with your problems, make different life choices, and find a way forward. I have experience working with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and eating issues. I have a particular interest in work related stress and its impact on mental wellbeing. My approach is relational, so I work with you and at your pace as you explore what you want from life and relationships.

I work particularly with anxiety, depression, trauma and loss; loss of belonging and cultural identity as well as loss through bereavement including childhood bereavement. Influenced by the work of Carl Jung and by the writings of Annie Dillard, John O'Donohue and Richard Rohr among others, I make room for the soulful and the creative in my work. A qualified psychotherapist and psychotherapeutic counsellor, I am a member of UK Counsellors and Psychotherapists (UKCP) and registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I have Diplomas in Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapy and Counselling.

Perhaps you are wondering, why choose to work with me or what would this look like? We can begin with exploration, an opportunity to share what you are going through. We aim to increase awareness and understanding, which can help reveal the nature of any issues you are seeking to resolve. A list of possible topics is irrelevant as your journey and experiences are unique. You bring the story and together we will navigate the feelings, validate the impact and create a clear picture of the change you might hope to achieve. Through this process we can also explore ways you can best implement change for an improved lived experience.

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.

I use existential therapy in session with my clients, as this approach sees each client as someone with their own unique experiences, and therefore their own unique difficulties. I seek to obtain an understanding of each client's world enabling us to then work together towards making changes which are specifically tailored to you and which help you to find a way towards a better future. I am an integrative therapist and so am also trained in humanistic person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapies which add to my ability to understand people's differing experiences and tailor the work to each individual.

I help people who are feeling lost, in pain and increasingly unable to cope. I work with people who suffer from debilitating anxiety, depression and trauma and all of the many manifestations these can have in your life such as alcohol and drug abuse, eating disorders and self harm, relationship difficulties, social anxiety, codependency and suicidal thoughts and feelings. Clients I see often, above all else, just want some peace of mind. This often comes alongside self acceptance, healthy relationships with friends and family and a satisfying work life balance.

I offer individual psychotherapy and couples counselling. Couples counselling involves an assessment of one hour, then eight sessions every two-three weeks that are one and half hours. This short term model is popular and successful. If this interests you, do contact me. Are you feeling a bit stuck, or are you feeling that your life is not quite on the right track? Are you feeling stress in your life? Are there things from your past that you would like to understand, or maybe things in your present that you want to change? I realise that choosing a counsellor is very personal and you need to consider many things.

It's ironic that a large part of psychotherapeutic work is around trying to convince people that their perceived 'abnormal' feelings and behaviours are a completely 'normal' reaction to a set of, often very difficult life circumstances. For instance, why wouldn't someone have a generalised feeling of persistent anxiety and low mood, when they have to live in what seems like a crazy and confusing world? We can work toward a more accepting and benevolent view of ourselves, exploring who you truly are and where you might truly want to go in life, without the harsh inner voices of the past.

I am a licensed Psychotherapist, with experience in a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression, life changes, relationship issues and addiction. Whether you have been in counselling before, or this the first time you are approaching counselling, it can be a big step to take and I am here to support you in the process.

Hi. If youre browsing for a therapist or looking for support for someone else, life is most liikely throwing out some hard balls!

We can meet up online and see how you feel about an initial session and take it from there!! I am available Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 9am-7pm.

Is your life affected by issues in your relationships with others, issues in your relationship you have with yourself? Are intrusive and negative thoughts often making you feel down and helpless? Is anxiety stopping you from enjoying your life? There is hope. I can help you explore, challenge and change those unhelpful thought patterns, aiming to help you feel more empowered and confident so you can enjoy your life and have more loving and happier relationships, with yourself and others. Contact me to book an initial appointment and see if my combined psychotherapy&solution focused approach would work for you.
