Counsellor, MBACP
Tower Hill, London E1
I am an Integrative Counsellor (MBACP) and I work with adults and couples both in-person and online on a wide range of behavioural, emotional, and relationship issues. Although I am trained in a range of modalities, including person-centred, cognitive, existential and relational approaches, my primary orientation is psychodynamic. I work with clients to gently explore unconscious processes, defence mechanisms, resistance and the dynamics of transference that often shape our relationships and behaviours. My approach is always collaborative and tailored to what feels most helpful for each individual.

Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP
Tower Hill, London SE1
Welcome! I have been working as a counsellor and psychotherapist since 1998 and work as a supervisor too, with practices in Exeter and London and online. I believe that many of our difficulties develop due to our early life and past experiences, including trauma. We repeat patterns in our lives hoping that things will get resolved. Sometimes these patterns are unhelpful to us. Therapy offers, in a confidential and safe space, the possible facilitation of being able to recognise these patterns and approach them from a new perspective.

Many of the people I work with are used to carrying a lot on their own. They may feel anxious, overwhelmed or burnt out, find themselves overthinking, putting pressure on themselves, or struggling to switch off. Some feel stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism or self-criticism, while others have lost sight of what they need and where they fit. Therapy can provide an opportunity to slow things down, reflect on what's been happening. Alongside practical tools and strategies, we'll explore your experiences at a pace that suits you, helping you better understand yourself and find a way forward that feels right for you.

Psychotherapist, MA, MUKCP

I offer a calm, confidential space where you can take time to attend to yourself - to make sense of what’s happening, your role in what is happening in your life and what you need next. Many of my clients are capable professionals who have already tried to solve things through insight or effort, yet still feel stuck. If you know what to do, intend to do the right thing, and somehow can’t follow through, our work can help uncover why and shift what lies underneath. Together we look at both your inner patterns, the emotional and relational habits that shape you, and how you feel and relate to others.

We all have ups and downs and sometimes the downs get on top of us or they keep returning. We don’t always want to talk to friends or family about them even though sharing of those feelings helps us feeling less bad, lonely or powerless. Then it might help to have someone independent to talk to and to share our worries and concerns with. Counselling helps us to feel understood and we start to understand ourselves better. And it can help finding new ways of thinking, behaving and feeling that leave us less drained and give a sense of being more in control of our own life.

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.

Changing old patterns of behavior and core beliefs is often challenging and not immediately apparent. As the saying goes, "you can’t read the label from inside the jar," meaning it can be difficult to identify or solve your own problems when you are too close to them. I am here to help, support, and encourage you on your journey to self-healing and self-discovery, whether you are experiencing depression or anxiety, grieving a loss, wondering if a relationship will work out, or just do not feel like you are living the life you were meant to live.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
