Counselling in Southwark, London
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Perhaps past experiences are affecting your present, or you’re navigating a difficult life transition. Whatever you’re facing, you want clarity, relief, and a way forward—you’re looking for a space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences in a way that feels safe, validating, and productive. As an integrative Therapist, I tailor my approach to your needs, drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centred Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

Some people come to therapy with specific issues they want to address; others arrive with a more general feeling that life isn’t quite as it should be. Everyone is welcome. Our first focus will be developing a shared understanding of how therapy can support you and what you hope to gain from the process. We’ll aim to uncover what in your current life might be getting in the way: patterns of relating to others, and to yourself.

As a senior clinical psychologist, I specialise in working with people experiencing low self-esteem, difficulty managing strong emotions and caught in unhelpful or destructive patterns in their relationships. Experiencing negative and traumatic events can lead us to develop ways of coping which allowed us to survive at the time, but now keep us stuck and keep our problems going.
I know how scary and shameful the idea of opening up about difficult experiences and self-destructive cycles can feel. I have a warm, genuine style, and make sure that you feel supported and never judged, so that you feel safe enough to do this work.

You might feel trapped or grappling with issues that are hard to navigate alone. Finding professional help for figuring out your way can make a difference. Gaining insight into the dynamics of our lives can enable greater freedom, a more authentic existence and inner peace. However, it is important to be aware that this process is a journey not a quick fix. Reaching out for help is the first step even if it is understandably hard to do. I offer a non-judgmental and safe space where you can talk freely about your issues.

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.

Are you finding it difficult to cope? Perhaps life's pressures have left you feeling depressed or feeling increasingly stressed and anxious? All too often modern living can leave us with very little space to reflect about our own needs. Our relationships and health can suffer as a result. Psychotherapy can be helpful when emotional suffering becomes too much and at times of crisis when life can feel difficult or unmanageable. I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, particularly skilled in working with depression, anxiety and difficulties in couple relationships.
