I know that it can be daunting reaching out for help and that many people never do reach out, perhaps because they are the strong ones who are supporting everyone else around them so their needs are at the bottom of the long list of things to do and people to look after. Please know that you are important too. If you're feeling troubled, I'm here to listen without judgement and I can help and support you to work towards feeling better. Remember there is always hope. I can be flexible with appointments and if you don't have time to come and see me in person and don't like the idea of zoom/facetime, we can do telephone sessions.

You’re someone who’s capable and caring, yet anxiety, trauma, or old patterns keep pulling you off-centre. Perhaps you’re navigating inner-child wounds, low self-esteem, habit loops or emotional overwhelm and you want lasting change, not quick fixes. I offer a safe, warm, non-judgemental space for adults, children and young people. My integrative, client-centred approach blends the insight of psychotherapy, the structure of counselling and the rapid-change tools of cognitive behavioural hypnotherapy to help you regain calm, clarity and confidence. Based in Harrow, North West London, I also work online across the UK.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or burnout, holding things together on the outside while struggling within. Perhaps work, relationships or life transitions have stretched your coping capacity. You want relief, clarity and practical tools that actually work, not just coping strategies. You want to understand why you feel as you do and how to change it. Most of all, you want to feel calmer, stronger and more in control again. If you are ready to take that first step, you are exactly where you need to be.

I do not believe in an 'ideal client', only in a person who is willing to engage in the therapeutic process. Many people come with a desire for change, growth, healing, or deeper self-exploration, often feeling low, anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected within themselves. My role is not to give answers, but to guide you towards your own; working compassionately, curiously, and patiently. Through a holistic, person-centred approach, I support you in exploring your inner world, understanding patterns, and developing greater awareness, balance, and connection within yourself. Whole through Acceptance, Love, and Compassion.

My Clients over the last 18 years have ranged from having simple symptoms ( i.e. sleep disturbances, anxiety about interviews or social anxiety ) to severe symptoms (i.e. severe depression, insomnia, PTSD, OCD, Borderline Personality or sexual abuse). My clients are looking for tools that will help them reduce or eliminate those symptoms but they are also wanting to develop long term functional habits that will help them lead a healthier life. Most of my clients are highly functional but they are struggling with emotional issues in their relationships with childhood abuse, addictions, fears, self-esteem and others.

Neuro-Linguistic (NLP) Counsellors
How does neuro-linguistic programming work?
A therapist using Neuro-linguistic programming might start by building a strong rapport and gathering information about the client’s objectives and any problem areas. Then the NLP therapist will employ NLP techniques to guide their client toward healthier thoughts and behaviours. Clients will learn how to better manage their moods and hone their communication skills. NLP will conclude with the therapist and client making a plan for how to integrate the positive changes into their daily life in the future.

What are some techniques used in neuro-linguistic programming?
NLP therapists often employ anchoring, so the client begins to automatically associate their trigger with a healthier response. Clients also learn how to reframe a situation to change the way they react to it for the better, and how to replace the negative beliefs that are holding them back. Many NLP clients practice visualisation or forming a mental image of themselves attaining their goals. Every NLP therapist will have their own preferred approach with specific techniques that they have found to be helpful for their clients.

How long does neuro-linguistic programming take?
Since neuro-linguistic programming is not regulated, the length of treatment can vary greatly. Some therapists may only use NLP in a single session, while others may employ it over the course of weeks, months, or even years. It depends greatly on the type and severity of the problem being treated, as well as the individual client’s response to NLP treatment.

Is neuro-linguistic programming evidence-based?
While some people may find neuro-linguistic programming helpful, either in therapy or in their career or personal development, the science behind this approach is inconclusive. Most of the available studies are small in scale and have produced mixed results, and the commercial nature of NLP lends itself to conflicts of interest. More research is needed. In the meantime, practitioners must use their best judgment of whether NLP techniques will be helpful in meeting their clients’ individual needs.
