Counselling in London

If you feel anxious, low, unhappy, confused, are stuck, or have low self esteem, I can help. I support a wide variety of individuals and couples. I often see people ranging from their twenties to forties, struggling with their self esteem or identity, their relationships, work, and other challenges. I help clients reduce overthinking, increase self esteem, become more assertive, and make better choices for themselves. I transition clients from self sabotaging patterns and behaviours, to increased self care and contentment, through lasting strategies that work.

I am a fully qualified Art Psychotherapist registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Association of Art Therapist (BAAT).

It is hard when you're not feeling at your best - whether it be a low mood, feeling vulnerable, anxious, or lonely - to even get through the day, never mind having a good one. Maybe you're not getting enough support, or even the right kind of support form your friends and loved ones. Talking to a counsellor is different, as it offers an alternative environment to everyday life - free from judgement - and experience being accepted and understood. Under such conditions, when enough trust is built, we will hopefully be able to explore your material and work through whatever is getting in the way, while increasing your self-awareness.

You don’t have to deal with difficult feelings alone. Looking after your mental health is a priority don’t let feelings of anxiety and depression have a negative impact on your relationships work opportunities and overall emotional well-being. Don’t let unwanted past experiences, relationship difficulties and outdated self-perceptions cloud your here and now interactions. Unhelpful coping strategies thought patterns and beliefs can lead to self-destructive behaviours and feelings of despondency. By working through and identifying unhelpful patterns of coping, relating and functioning you can make the changes in your life.

Most people want to feel good within themselves and within their lives. I don’t think this is too much to ask!
