Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Counselling in London
While I tailor my therapeutic approach to an individual’s needs, I draw from modalities like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, EMDR, ACT and Compassion Focussed Techniques.
I am a registered and Specialist Clinical Psychologist with years experience working with individuals facing a variety of clinical challenges. Life can so easily often bring us to a place of disconnect, whether it be periods of low mood, anxiety, trouble with relationships (or other symptoms) I attempt to guide my clients to develop deeper self-awareness, healthier ways of coping and connection to themselves. I like to place equal focus on current difficulties as well as the getting to the root cause, the unconscious parts of what is really going on. I also place focus on reconnecting the mind with the body, aiding self discovery.

Being human, it is only natural we are continuously faced with life's numerous challenges. Painful emotions, such as fear, sadness, grief, frustration, anger and many more show up in response to life's challenges and we have all been 'well-trained' to go for 'fixing' or 'controlling' these responses in the quickest way possible. Ironically, it is this urge to control such painful internal experiences, that often creates and in fact exacerbates our struggles! I am here to help you gain new skills to manage difficult internal experiences in a more helpful manner so you can start living your life more fully.

I integrate this with evidence-based therapies like CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Systemic Family Therapy and ACT to help you build emotional regulation, self- acceptance, and show up more fully in your life.
You’ve spent so long trying to be who you believed others needed you to be—now you’re wondering who you are underneath it all. You second-guess conversations, keep the peace, and worry about what others think. You crave connection, but social situations leave you uneasy. These patterns form in environments where your needs and boundaries weren’t accepted. You learned to cope by disconnecting from your emotions, your needs, and sometimes even from reality—but it’s affecting your work, relationships, and sense of self. You’re tired of overthinking, pleasing, and falling short, and you want to validate yourself and be self-assured.
