Counselling in London

I work in the NHS and have my own private practice. I am trained in Integrative arts psychotherapy and this means we can draw upon a wide range of creative approaches in order to allow you a containing and non-judgmental space. My therapeutic approach is relational and one that focuses on an embodied approach to look at issues of; depressions, anger, grief, low self- esteem, fear, shame, emotional regulation, transitions, relational trauma and disordered eating and harmful coping strategies. I am interested in seeking to integrate different theories and approaches in order to always be unique to each client’s needs.

I am an integrative therapist, meaning I draw on multiple approaches and theories in my practice, but my way of working has been particularly shaped by relational psychotherapy and attachment theory. This means I believe that the relationships we experience in our early lives affect our later ways of relating to both ourselves and others. I believe that therapy is a fundamentally relational endeavour - not that people are broken and therefore need to be “fixed” - but rather that through working together we can come to new ways of relating, understanding and being.

Life brings challenges to all of us from time to time and we might feel loss or overwhelmed by them. I offer a safe and confidential space to address and explore these issues. I am open to work with variety issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, addiction, finding meaning in life, low self esteem. My aim is not advising you, but to help you to find your own path and to look at yourself and your own issues with more compassion and understanding.

My aim is to help you better understand the nature of your difficulties and maximise your potential to overcome them.

we are constantly juggling and walking on a tightrope balancing the pressures of work and trying to perform to exceed expectations. At home we manage our relationships and hope they are fulfilling, we are challenged by time and giving each thing its full attention while juggling everything else life throws at us. Occasionally life throws more unexpected challenges and we become overwhelmed and out of sorts. Maybe you struggle to name what's wrong but whatever it is, it's not you.

I offer one-to-one psychotherapy in London Bridge/Borough. I work in a way that emphasises collaborating with clients to develop a pathway towards making meaningful and lasting positive change and growth. Your aims may be specific: for instance that you wish to work on a specific situation or setting in which you feel you are struggling; you may have a general sense that something in your life does not feel right, or you may feel you are somewhere in between these two examples. The main purpose of therapy is to help you move towards living the life you want to live and feel most at home in.

I can help you with issues surrounding anxiety, depression, stress, panic and anything which is making you feel unhappy, to identify the root of the problem and resolve it to help you to become a more contented version of you.

Hi, welcome. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your story. Perhaps you are intrigued in deprogramming previous patterns that you feel do not serve you? Creating a new foundation that starts internally and has a positive ripple effect on those close to you and around you. There are times when everyone experiences challenging and distressing feelings which can interfere with everyday life and relationships. That is when it can be helpful to talk things through with a completely neutral person who you know will be supportive and respond non-judgmentally.

Do you feel stuck in your life? Do you have a need to prove to others that you are good enough? Do you depend on the opinions of other people? Do you have repetitive scenarios in your relationships? Are you fed up with your old habits? Whatever challenges you have it is very important to understand that we are all learning and nobody is perfect, otherwise we would not be here on the planet Earth. I invite you to explore and release what is on the way to the real You, what is holding you back. Imagine what it would feel like to have a true freedom in your life. What would it look like? What would it sound like?

As a psychodynamic therapist I offer once weekly face-to-face therapy in a supportive, understanding environment. My approach encourages self-reflection and self-examination, allowing you to understand the influence of the past on present behaviour and feelings. This enables you to examine unresolved conflicts and their consequences, giving you back more control in daily life. Working within the ethical framework of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, I provide confidential and non-judgemental counselling to individuals looking for short term and open ended therapy on a variety of issues, offering you space to take a positive step towards insight and awareness.

Since you are a unique individual, the psychotherapy I offer will be moulded to you and your circumstances. Our sessions are opportunities to explore your self, your inner conflicts and your relationships. In helping you gain greater self-insight, my aim is for you to know and accept yourself and to find new possibilities to live life in a more fulfilling way.
