I am an integrative counsellor offering Psychodynamic and Person Centered therapy. You might be seeking support because you could be experiencing low mood, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and or just trying to make sense of what is going on. I know that seeking help and speaking about it might not be easy. Some of us perhaps never experienced being helped. A simple act of saying ‘No’ feels like one step away from disaster. My work with you will explore the emotions that you are going through, enabling you to find your voice and meaning in life

I'm a Psychotherapist, Social Behavioral Mentor, Dual Diagnosis Clinician and Addiction Professional.  I work collaboratively with my clients through issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction and empowerment by implementing appropriate therapeutic modalities and evidence based psychological interventions.

Choosing a counsellor you want to work with can sometimes be difficult. Having worked with the body for over 20 years, I pride myself in taking a collaborative approach to both mind and body.

We all need help from time to time, and you shouldn't be embarrassed for asking for it. I am a down to earth and compassionate person, who understands what it is like to need a boost. In my years I have truly heard it all, and my biggest goal is to empower rather than judge my clients. One of my favourite quotes comes from Marisa Peer who explains that “to be happy you have to make peace with your past, love the present and feel so excited about the future”. No problem is too big to solve and I have witnessed counselling change the lives of so many people and I know I can help change yours too.

Hello my name is Naina, welcome to my profile. Making the decision to begin counselling can be a difficult and daunting one. Counselling can help us to reconnect to ourselves by exploring our narratives, gaining a deeper understanding of who we are, and to develop a better relationship with ourselves and others. I feel forming a therapeutic relationship with my clients is key for our work together. We can work together to empower you to find your own answers and find the happiness that you are searching for.

The modern pressures of life can take their toll on us – increasing responsibilities and being connected 24/7 can leave us feeling burnt out, anxious, and overwhelmed. Even when we do manage to disconnect, we find it difficult to disconnect from our racing thoughts. If you’re new to therapy it can be daunting, however taking this brave step can be rewarding. It can give you the space to explore what is really going on, process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies and restore your mental well-being - so that you aren’t just surviving, but thriving in the world.

I believe that we all have an innate tendency towards health and wholeness. Every so often, life events and situations can get in the way of accessing our inner resources to achieve growth and healing. Psychotherapy can be a valuable tool to firmly place you back on the path to living a full life. When we are faced with major or recurring life stressors we can be overwhelmed and seeking additional support, such as therapy, is a natural and positive step in taking care of yourself.

As an integrative therapist, I believe that every individual is unique and requires a personalised approach to therapy.

I will provide a nurturing and non-judgmental space for us to work together in which you will feel empowered to rebuild and recover at your own pace.

As an integrative therapist, I draw upon different therapeutic models when working with a client in a session to suit their individual needs. Over time, this would mean that we could use our session time to explore various relation issues in the present, past, boundary issues and belief systems the may impact upon your life, work and relationships.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda in a non judgemental space.

You don't have to struggle alone, sometimes we could use a little support. My role as your therapist is to work with your unique process and guide you to reconnect with your own healing energy- So you can start to trust yourself to make the changes you need and achieve your personal goals from a balanced place of clarity and confidence.
