Counselling in London
When things are troubling you and you're feeling anxious and stressed, talking with friends only goes so far. In their desire to help, they shower you with advice, try to cheer you up and distract you. But when distraction is no longer an option and you want or need to face what it is that is so troubling you, then I am here for you. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, as well as having worked in the NHS and Nightingale hospital, so have seen many people from teenagers to the elderly of different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. I can help you explore & understand yourself in a new and constructive way.

My personal therapy journey and training involved exploring identity and culture. Alongside the challenges of navigating these layered realities. Therapy, something seen as taboo within these, was a challenge in itself to consider and overcome.
Growing up felt like trying to exist within these layered realities. What was acceptable changed back and forth: A set of conditions at home another just beyond the front door. I was suspended in the space between trying to find my footing.

You may be considering counselling or therapy for one or a number or reasons. At any time in our life we can be required to face unwanted challenges as life's inevitable ups and downs get the better of us. This can be due to an unexpected change in circumstances or it may be that life itself is demanding too much right now and you are struggling to cope. It may be that everything in your life is going according to plan and yet, still, there is a deeper sense that something is missing. Talking to friends and relatives provides only temporary relief and you are wondering if speaking to a therapist might be helpful.

I was going to say a few things about me, but that's not why you're here. You're here because you recognise it's time to talk about you. I can help with that. I have worked extensively with clients who experience professional "burn out", relationship issues, bereavement and loss. The list goes on. Having juggled work, family, personal loss, training and much more in recent years, I understand overwhelm. This experience means that I will listen without judgement, empathise and help you find ways to cope, moving on from the unhealthy habits and emotions you're stuck in. We'll work together towards your goals.

With warmth and respect, I help people to navigate their way through difficult times in life.
I use my therapy training and skills and the ‘therapeutic relationship’ to support people going through relationship difficulties, bereavement, life transitions, family conflict and work-related problems.
I can support people as they explore ways out of feeling ‘stuck’, unsure of themselves and lost. This may involve looking for answers to existential questions such as ‘who is the real me’? ‘what makes me happy’? ‘how do I learn “to thrive, not merely survive”' (Maya Angelou)?

There are many reasons why we enter psychotherapy, such as at times of unhappiness, difficulty or crisis. We may be struggling in our relationships, experiencing low self-esteem or suffering from a loss of meaning. Relational and developmental trauma symptoms can undermine our ability to fulfil our potential and/or form secure connections with others. Because our wounding often takes place in relation to another it follows that so too can our healing. My intention is to offer a compassionate, attuned and empathic presence, which can support a shared enquiry into your authentic experience, within a safe and non-judgmental space.

Many of my clients may feel anxious, low, or disconnected, often carrying the impact of trauma, identity struggles, or cultural pressures. They want to feel more in control, better understood, and more connected to who they are. Many are seeking a space where they can reflect without judgment, understand themselves more deeply, and begin to shift patterns that no longer serve them. They may not have had the chance to explore these parts of themselves before — therapy becomes a space to reclaim voice, agency, and self-trust.

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor in the Chalk Farm area. I provide a gentle, explorative space for those grappling with an awareness that something is wrong; you may be struggling under the weight of long-term difficulties, or feel unable to face a concrete ending or change. Or, you may find yourself increasingly aware of sadness, confusion, or anxiety that you feel, but cannot properly explain. Therapy is a place for our inner experience (often long-unacknowledged, and often painful) to be gradually known - and allowed expression.
