When the Past Meets the Present... Sometimes a decision made years ago starts to weigh heavily when life changes — especially if you’re now facing health concerns or questioning the choices you once thought were right. This can bring up regret, self-doubt, or a deep need to find peace with yourself. I offer a safe, confidential space to explore these feelings, work through the “what-ifs,” and rediscover your sense of strength and self-compassion. You don’t have to face the future carrying the weight of the past alone. Viktor Frankl "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves".

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or not quite yourself? You may be functioning well on the surface while privately struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, or difficult relationships. Many people seek therapy when they realise that old patterns, past experiences, or unresolved trauma continue to shape their present lives. I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space where we explore these patterns in depth, helping you develop greater clarity and freedom in how you relate to yourself and others.

Hi, I'm Eman - a psychotherapist based in London with experience working across the UK. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine human connection, not just a clinical encounter. My goal is simple: to offer you a safe, honest space where you feel truly seen — and to help you build the kind of relationship with yourself that you can carry into the rest of your life. I work with adults navigating some of life's most layered challenges — relationship difficulties, self-harm urges, life transitions, cultural and religious expectations, and the particular weight that comes with growing up between worlds.

Loss changes us. It can turn our world upside down, whether it comes through the death of a loved one, the loss of a cherished pet, the end of a relationship, loss of identity, or a major life change. Each of these losses carries its own weight, and no two experiences are ever the same. These experiences often bring a range of valid emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, exhaustion, overwhelm, feeling lost, or a sense of being disconnected from oneself. I specialise in supporting clients navigating this difficult times, and I draw from my extensive training, working at Macmillan Cancer Support, and my own personal experience.

You may be feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck in patterns that leave you exhausted. Anxiety, low mood, grief, workplace stress, or difficult relationships might be weighing heavily on you. Perhaps you’re caught in cycles of overthinking, people‑pleasing, or struggling with boundaries and self-worth. You might be facing change, feeling disconnected after loss, or noticing old emotional triggers resurfacing. Therapy offers space to slow down, understand your emotions, and reconnect with what you need.

Hi, thanks for stopping by! I imagine you're probably scrolling through all these different counsellors, wondering how on earth you're going to make a decision. At least that's what I did when I looked for a therapist! I'm wondering if there's something specific that you want to talk about? A memory that you want to unpack, a childhood that feels like it's intruding into your adult life or a lack of joy that you can't explain? If you want to have a chat about what's going on for you and see if I feel like the right fit, we can have an introductory call to get to know each other a bit. I'd love to hear from you.

As a couples therapist grounded in the person-centred approach, I prioritise building an empathic connection with each client. This means truly understanding their world from their perspective, without judgment. I believe that when clients feel deeply heard and accepted, they can access their own capacity for healing and growth.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
