Counselling in London
Present difficulties often have their roots in our past. We are very creative at finding solutions, or self-cures, for what we have experienced. They help us to get by. But often, what troubles us today is a self-cure that no longer works. It's time to time to try something else.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing relationship difficulties, recurring conflict, infidelity, loss of intimacy and sexual difficulties. With 25 years in practice and specialist training in psychosexual and relational therapy, I offer an active, relational approach that helps you understand not only why patterns have developed, but how to change them.
My approach is warm, direct and engaged. I won't simply sit back and listen; we'll work together to understand what is keeping you stuck and create meaningful change. I bring compassion and challenge, helping you build healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Life can throw us off course, from time to time we can all feel overwhelmed, confused, stuck, frightened or alone. Counselling gives the opportunity to talk through feelings, thoughts and worries in a safe, non-judgmental space. It is not always easy to talk to our family and friends, the therapeutic relationship offers a confidential and consistent space to share and work through the problems we can find difficult to bring up with others.

Are you a diagnosed or self diagnosed neurodivergent individual always anxious, feeling low and only ever imagining what a different life can look like? Are you tired of repeating the same patterns in life and ready for change? Continuously feeling misunderstood by others and sometimes even yourself? 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 work with adults who may be struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, relationships or a difficult period of change. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or find yourself struggling to make sense of what you are experiencing. I also work with people affected by cancer, serious illness and bereavement. Therapy can provide an opportunity to step back, understand what is happening and begin to work out what you want or need moving forward.

If anxiety, self-doubt or a constant sense of unease has become part of your everyday life, it can feel as though you're always on edge. You might find yourself trying hard to keep others happy, putting your own needs last or listening to an inner voice that is rarely kind. Perhaps difficult past experiences still affect you in ways that don't fully make sense. Some situations might leave you feeling unexpectedly overwhelmed or out of control. Over time, all of this can leave you feeling disconnected; from others, and from your sense of yourself. If this resonates with you then you're in the right place.

You may be feeling anxious, low, overwhelmed or increasingly disconnected from yourself. Perhaps relationships leave you overthinking, adapting yourself to others or questioning whether your needs matter. You might be living with illness, uncertainty or a major change that has disrupted your sense of who you are. Sometimes distress remains hidden beneath a capable exterior; at other times, simply getting through the day can feel difficult. You may understand some of your patterns intellectually and still find yourself repeating them. Or perhaps something has happened for which no amount of reasoning feels sufficient.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist which means I might chose to pull my approach from several different modalities depending on each clients needs. I specialise in areas of trauma/abuse, identity, relationships with self and others, life transitions, bereavement, pre/post natal and anxiety. Our work will be non-judgemental and grounded in honesty, trust and mutual respect. The space we create for you to explore within will be supportive, safe and compassionate. There will be challenges; often this work is about processing deep rooted beliefs and thought-processes/patterns that require committed ongoing reflection and action.

I am a HCPC Registered Practitioner Psychologist. I work as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. My approach involves working collaboratively with individuals, couples, families and teams to develop a shared understanding of the patterns they want to change or enhance. This often involves identifying existing strengths and supporting clients to increase their confidence in them. This can be helpful when difficult and often traumatic experiences have eroded people's confidence in their own adeptness. This includes significant experience of supporting clients with neurodiversity.
