Counselling in HA5

Squarepegness often is accompanied by or is masked by depression, anxiety, emotional rigidness. It can lead to work and relationship problems Exploring, recognising and slowly putting into practice what has been uncovered can be enough to move a client from being overloaded leading to meltdown or lack of headspace to an awareness that modifies your feeling of well being.

Hi - are you feeling stuck? Repeating the same patterns of behaviour again and again in your life or relationship and going round in circles? Do you feel a lack of love/respect with your partner or someone close to you? Is sex or intimacy an issue but you’re not quite sure how to approach it? Perhaps Covid or life changes have increased your anxiety and the trust has gone or you're feeling sad, stressed, lonely, angry, misunderstood, numb, or just not sure what you feel anymore?! I provide a safe, non-judgmental space helping individuals and couples gain better personal understanding to improve on their wellbeing and relationships.

I have been a Counsellor for many years. My experience is wide and varied and I provide a safe place to talk and explore your feelings, in order to help you resolve your issues.

You might be experiencing loss, depression, anxiety, situational dilemma, unhappiness, difficulty in relationships or even may be abuse of some kind. Through therapy and talking to me in a safe environment, I might be able to help you to understand your inner self and work with your uncomfortable feelings. The promise is not an instant solution to all your presenting issues or an instant happiness but the goal would be to achieve near enough to live a content life. My aim to work with the clients is to explore their own strengths, abilities as well to acknowledge the feelings and thoughts they might be going through.

We all have a story to tell. We all have a desire to be heard & valued, to feel good about ourselves & to have a meaningful life. If circumstances have prevented this for you it doesn't mean that your future will be the same. Change is constant & is possible so any worry or concern can be talked about. Sometimes we just don't know what is wrong or we try to silence ourselves & a space is needed to understand what is going on. Through collaboration & empowerment gained from therapy, gives an understanding & curiousity of yourself, that will change how you live your life.

Every human being is hurt in some way; in many cases this will manifest as depression, anxiety or some other way which gets in the way of personal development and the ability to reach out to his or her potential. Therapy provides a relationship in which clients are able to accept themselves as they are and value themselves as individuals. Every individual has an urge to develop as a whole, finding the tendency to actualize and become a more fully functioning person. It is the joy of a therapist to assist the client in these breakthroughs.

The past year has been a rollercoaster for many. How are you doing? Anxious? Stressed? Angry? Depressed? Perhaps existing relational problems were magnified and you feel overwhelmed... Perhaps you have experienced trauma, and just do not know how to move forward... Or maybe you find yourself at a cross-road and needing more clarity...

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I believe that the most important part of therapy is that we build a strong and therapeutic relationship together so that you can feel safe to explore your feelings and concerns. We all have times in our life when we need support and it is not always possible to sort things out with the help of family and friends. I would be there to listen and not judge, in a confidential and caring environment. Counselling can feel daunting but can help to empower you to explore and reflect on ways of making changes and moving forward with your life.

Thank you for reading my profile here on Psychology Today. I am a Counsellor and CBT Psychotherapist working in private practice in Pinner, NW London. I am an Accredited practitioner with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am also an NHS trained, Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) accredited with the British Association for Behavioural & Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP). I am a registered Hypnotherapist with the General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR).

You may feel that something in your life is not quite right. Whether you begin therapy with clear ideas of what you want to change or you want to start exploring this, I want to take that journey of transformation with you. We will start by exploring what brought you to therapy and what you would hope to achieve in our sessions. We will look at self-limiting issues that may be holding you back and explore ways to liberate yourself from them. Developing a new perspective will allow you to create change and I will support you to identify and draw on your inner resources to live a fuller, more satisfying life.

Hello and welcome. As your counsellor I can help you to understand and make sense of your thoughts and feelings. This is done through exploring what you’re finding difficult, and unpacking this further. Do you feel you need a safe and confidential space where you can open up, be heard and listened to without fear of judgement? Do you need a space to be heard, are you struggling to cope with the pressures of daily life? Have you suffered a bereavement, or is anxiety taking control? I would like to help you find your voice, to give you a space where you can begin to express yourself, and process what’s going on for you.

Our past impacts on our present and it can often be confusing and conflicting in our adult responses to current problems. When we cannot make sense of our own thoughts or responses, when our behaviour troubles us or is repetitive. Within the therapeutic process, control is taken back and the symptomatic behaviour in time can be renegotiated and become less powerful. My training is Psychodynamic but with many years of CPD (continuing professional development) I will adapt my style to what will be most helpful to you and what you bring to the sessions. Psychodynamic therapy involves working with the unconscious.

All of us need to feel safe and sometimes, even those who always seem in control need someone that can really listen. Do you feel confused, stuck or worried, anxious or depressed? Do you struggle with focus, motivation and feel you just can't reach your goals? Do you need someone that can help you to make sense of what is going on for you and in your relationships? Maybe you have been waiting for ever to be seen by CAMHS or Adult Mental Health Services? Maybe you have focus and drive, but want someone to guide you to become even better at your work, sport, or relationship. Please contact me so that we can schedule a meeting.

Are you looking for support for yourself or your couple relationship? As an experienced counsellor and couple therapist, I can help you. I work flexibly, offering weekly, fortnightly and monthly maintenance appointments, online or over the phone. I am trained in the principle therapies including CBT, Solution Focused and Psychodynamic Therapy. If you need help in finding a way through your difficulties, please feel free to contact me.

I offer a supportive, confidential and friendly service to individuals, couples and families. You may wish to address a particular issue, or perhaps you are considering counselling because of a feeling that all is not well. Life brings various challenges. Our physical and psychological well being is affected by traumatic events, bullying, abuse, bereavement, family tensions, relationships and more. Sometimes we find ways of coping which also cause problems, examples are self-harm and addictions. I provide a non-judgmental space for whatever you wish to explore and address including anxiety, depression and emotional distress.

I have over 25 years experience of working with people with common Mental Health problems e.g. Depression , Anxiety ,Stress at work and Relationship issues . I provide Brief therapy for people with common mental health issues and help them to find coping strategies. I also provide Long term therapy for people presenting with childhood trauma or relational issues or feel their past is affecting them. I can help to work on understanding how these repeating patterns maybe affecting in the present, by becoming aware of these patterns how one can move forward .

I am a qualified UK and International counsellor providing psychotherapeutic support and guidance to anyone or groups of people struggling with mental health or personal problems that may be impacting on their lives negatively and are serious about wanting to live more authentically by making the necessary changes within in order to do so.

​Sometimes life can hurl difficulties our way and leaving us feeling conflicted, confused and exhausted and at other times our thoughts and feelings may seem out of balance to the event that triggered them or do not seem to begin from anything specific at all. I work with you in a confidential space, where you can speak freely about what is troubling you, providing you with support and security, such that you no longer have to struggle on by youself. I welcome clients from all ages, genders and beliefs. Being a person of colour, I hold a special interest and am experienced in working with difference, diversity and identity.

Life for everyone can, at times, present challenges and changes that can feel overwhelming and hard to deal with. Working through difficulties can be uncomfortable and challenging and insightful and fulfilling. Clients that I have worked with have said they have gained a sense of self-awareness through the counselling process, that has helped them to understand their difficulties and deal with the challenges of life in a positive and resilient way.

I have 16 years experience working with clients who have struggled with difficulties in life, such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, loss, loneliness, general unhappiness with themselves and their lives, and many other issues. If you have difficulties which are having an impact on your everyday life, I can help you to find ways of coping which can help you feel better. This can be with brief or longer term therapy, depending on your needs and what would be useful for you. Sometimes difficult emotions and repeating patterns, can leave anyone feeling helpless.
