Female Counselling in Tooting, London

Did you know 1 out 5 children in the UK experiences mental health challenges that affects their ways of relating with loved ones at some point during their childhood? Getting appropriate support at an early stage is important for children who have experienced physical or emotional trauma. Children struggling with their emotions often act out or become withdrawn. These responses are put down as behaviour issues while in fact they are children's way of communicating to adults that they need support. Music Therapy is the perfect tool for children who are not ready to 'talk it through' to express themselves in ways that motivates them.

Life can be hard and doesn't always go the way we would like. I offer a range of session times where together we can explore what you are experiencing and work towards where you want to be. I have worked with depression and anxiety among other issues in out-patient NHS settings as well as NHS in-patient units for trauma and self harm. I also work with a range of presenting issues in private practice where I offer concession rates to accommodate your situation. I am currently conducting doctoral research into the treatment of depression and understand the importance of having a safe empathetic space and good therapeutic relationship.

Therapeutic Counselling with a holistic approach & coaching structure, to facilitate real change & personal growth, and get you back to yourself.

I work with Millennial adults 1-1 and with couples, who are experiencing challenges in life transitions, their mental health, and relationships. It can be that all of these affect one another; therapy is a non-judgemental space to explore these, with the aim of coming to a fuller sense of understanding, renewed perspective, with clarity and healing along the way. My client work includes working managing a range of mental health issues, relationship breakdown, loss and bereavement, post-abortion grief, sexual abuse, and identity change. Work with couples includes conflict management, affair recovery, and supporting communication.

Are you the parent or carer of a young person who is struggling with their emotional wellbeing? Perhaps your child or teen finds it difficult to cope with overwhelming emotions, or maybe they find it difficult to articulate how they’re feeling which is frustrating for you as a parent - you want to support them and simply don’t know how. Does your child find it difficult to maintain relationships with their peers and they don’t know why? Maybe you’re at your wits’ end because no matter how hard you try you feel you cannot get through to your child. I’m here to let you know that therapy can help, you don’t have to do this alone.

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 can often be complex and exploring issues in conversation with another person can shed be illuminating, perhaps understanding how past experiences are influencing current issues. This can and does bring about change in our relationship with ourselves and others. In our sessions together, you can talk about whatever is on your mind from the present or the past, and bring feelings and thoughts for us to consider. Your trust and sense of safety is important so I will encourage you to move at your own pace.

Are you getting the message from others that you “should be over your bereavement by now”? Do you feel guilty at not having been or done “enough” for your deceased loved one? Do you have more difficult/complicated feelings towards your deceased loved one that wouldn’t be acceptable to share with your family and friends? If you can relate to any of these questions I would be happy to hear from you. Having completed a Bereavement Support Course with Cruse Bereavement Support I have worked with many bereaved people offering an understanding, non-judgemental approach.

My specialist areas in therapy are: trauma and recovery, eating disorders and disordered eating, intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, racial identity, cultural identity, grief and anger, and navigating interpersonal relationships.

Whether due to recent events or past ones, many people struggle with grief, loss, food and body, and traumatic experiences, leaving them feeling stuck, overwhelmed and needing support. My professional expertise is in working with clients struggling with trauma and PTSD; struggling with eating disorders, body image and identity; child and adult bereavement; clients undergoing cancer treatment; end of life care; and carers. This breadth of experience has informed my understanding of the universality of inner conflict and distress, and how the tools of self-exploration and insight are essential to effect change in the here-and-now.

Mental health difficulties come in many forms and struggles may have been with us for years, even forming part of our identity, or they may have appeared as if from nowhere. As an Accredited therapist with 21 years of experience, I can help you develop different thinking styles, awareness and experience, allowing problems to be truly addressed in a new, meaningful way. My focus is you, & I tailor the type of therapy to suit the individual. You have a unique story and whether the difficulties are with depression, anxiety, stress, relationships, self-esteem, or childhood experiences we will work together to address them.

I am a Clinical Psychologist skilled in providing evidence-based therapeutic interventions to adults, young people and families. I am currently working as a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) in South London. I have experience providing comprehensive assessment and intervention to those who have experiencing a range of mental health difficulties including complex trauma, anxiety and depression as well as supporting parents and carers. I also have experience providing consultation and support to professionals and carers experiencing burnout and compassion fatigue.

Is your life feeling too much at the moment? Are you struggling with the death of a loved one? Are your relationships complicated or inexistant? Have you experienced childhood trauma and never had a chance to process your feelings? Are you feeling anxious and frequently have panic attacks? Do you use alcohol, food, sex, games etc... to distract yourself from the pain you feel inside? Have you had enough and think that you would better off dead? Are you looking for a therapist who will support you to explore your difficulties in a safe and non-judgmental space? Are you ready to take control of your life and start therapy today?

As a therapist, my primary goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour without fear of judgment or shame. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and my role is to help you identify and overcome the obstacles that are preventing you from living your best life. I approach therapy from a holistic perspective, recognizing that mental health is closely connected to physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

My aim is to help you to strengthen emotional management skills in order to improve personal well-being, as well as health. My line of work is the change of perception about the conflicts that bring stress in your life. Under the approach of Transgenerational trauma and Family System you will understand the influence of family history on current problems and on interpersonal relationships. A deeply self sense of self will help you to transcend traumas, barriers and limitations as well as experience a new vision of emotional and physical health
