My experience includes working with anxiety, loss, shame, domestic abuse, and identity.
I am an integrative counsellor based in Pinner and Ruislip working with anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, trauma, and the impact of past or abusive relationships. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unseen, carrying things they’ve held inside for a long time. You may be struggling with difficult relationships, motherhood, identity, or life transitions. Therapy offers a space to slow down, feel heard, and reflect at your own pace. You’re very welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels like the right fit.

You over think every detail, constantly going over events from the past, trying to pre-empt the future. You're exhausted by your own inner monologue, one that never seems to quieten down (unless the music is on really loud!) but you're great at putting one foot in front of the other, getting on with it, not making a fuss. So, what keeps you stuck, drives your patterns? In sessions we can untangle that self-criticism, look at where it may come from so that you can start to make choices based on your needs.

Person Centred counselling is client led, my role is to provide empathy, transparency and a non judgemental environment, by focusing on the 'here and now' and the feelings you experience, clarity and become increasingly self aware. Analytical hypnotherapy uses relaxation and visualisation to assist you in looking at past trauma and unresolved conflicts. In a relaxed state you are able to work subconsciously to investigate and resolve past issues, irrational thinking, eliminating negative habits and behaviour, enabling healing to occur.

The ways we think, relate, and cope are often developed for good reason earlier in life; the difficulty is that they don’t always translate well into adulthood. Strategies that once helped now get in the way. We often find ourselves repeating the same patterns that adversely impact our relationships, leaving us feeling disconnected from others and ourselves. Therapy is about making sense of that. Not just insight for its own sake, but awareness that leads to change. I can help you understand yourself and your relationship with the world around you, so you can be better equipped to face life’s challenges and gain emotional resilience

Domestic Abuse Counsellors
What are the most effective ways to recover from domestic abuse?
Leaving an abusive relationship requires tremendous courage, so survivors in treatment should recognise that they have already completed the most important step. Still, the trauma of physical or emotional abuse can be difficult to process and overcome. Therapy can help survivors process trauma, grief, and difficult emotions, treat relevant mental health symptoms, and create a new framework for boundaries and relationships in the future. For some, support groups can also be an invaluable outlet for healing.

When should an individual seek help for domestic abuse?
Victims of intimate partner violence should seek help immediately. It can take substantial time, planning, energy, and courage to leave an abusive relationship, but starting the process—by seeking therapy, calling the domestic violence hotline, or simply confiding in a loved one—will help them get there. Those who have left abusive relationships but haven’t sought treatment can also greatly benefit from therapy to process and heal from the experience.

What are the consequences of staying in an abusive relationship?
Remaining in an abusive relationship has serious repercussions. In addition to the ongoing threat of physical danger and emotional abuse, research shows that intimate partner violence is associated with a range of mental health disorders including depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and substance abuse. Therefore it’s important for individuals in an abusive relationship to seek help as soon as possible.

How can you get domestic abuse treatment for someone else?
It can be very complicated to identify and leave an abusive relationship; barriers include the threat of violence, financial instability, and family pressures. Those concerned about a loved one in an abusive relationship should talk to them about the situation, provide them with resources such as the domestic violence hotline, and introduce the idea of seeing a therapist due to their concern for the person’s safety and well-being.
