Aetna Counselling in Whitechapel
People find their way to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you're carrying anxiety, depression, low mood, or low self-esteem. Maybe it's relationships, repeating patterns you can't quite shift, difficult childhood experiences, work stress, or emotional overwhelm. Sometimes there's a specific event at the root of it, or it could be more gradual. I also work with trauma and PTSD, including experiences that felt stuck even after previous therapy. If you're looking for a psychologist or EMDR therapist in Clapham Junction, I offer sessions in Clapham Junction, Croydon, and online across the UK and internationally.

Are you a diagnosed or self diagnosed neurodivergent individual always anxious, feeling low and only ever imagining what a different life can look like?

Do you often wonder who you are and what you really want in life?
Our life experiences can make us feel like there is always something to worry about, we often worry about a yesterday we will never get back and a tomorrow that is not promised. We can work together to find happiness in the present.

I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Supervisor with a significant amount of experience of working with clients with a wide range of difficulties. I can understand how difficult it must be asking for help and finding suitable therapist. Therapy is largely dependent on the relationship between the client and therapist. Without this, change would be very challenging. I offer and warm, safe, non-judgemental compassionate environment for people to be themselves so that change is possible. This makes exploring your thoughts, feelings and patterns much easier giving you the power to move forward in new way in your life.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift. Perhaps you’ve carried trauma, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, or chronic overthinking for years. You want clarity, emotional stability, healthier relationships, and confidence in yourself. You may already reflect deeply, even using AI to explore your thoughts, yet still feel unresolved. You don’t just want insight, you want real change, integration, and a sense of calm, secure direction in your life.

At the heart of my work is the belief that each person is already whole, and carries an inner compass; an inherent capacity for clarity, healing, and growth. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with this inner navigator and gently uncover what is standing in the way.
No matter how distant to inner balance one feels, it is never lost. Regaining it often begins with rediscovering the part of you that already knows the way forward, and my wish as your therapist is to support you in claiming your inner freedom.
Together, we create a space where you can feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you navigate life.

I have had the privilege of working with people who struggle with their mental health, for over 10 years. I completed my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Oxford University. My background is rather diverse, having grown up in 6 different countries (Ethiopia, Cyprus, Zambia, Fujairah, Germany and England). As a psychologist, I have lived and practiced in England, China and most recently in Mexico. I have worked with people across the life span, with children, families and couples. I also have extensive experience working with children and adults who struggled profoundly in their early attachment relationships.
