Human Givens Counselling in Greater London

Are you currently impacted by anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, phobia, addiction, overeating, grief , or anger ? Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, hopeless or living in fear and anxiety ? Are you struggling to deal with family members ? Would you like support with life transitions, career choices or relationship issues ?

For reasons you may or may not be aware of, you or someone you know may be experiencing feelings of stress, low-mood, anger, anxiety, sadness to name a few. Small or big, such emotions can be painful and burdensome. Within a few sessions I can help you feel better + support you through life’s inevitable challenges, leading to lasting change. Provided with a compassionate + confidential space to talk, a better understanding of our emotions and a tool kit that is forever yours to employ, clients often describe feeling a sense of ‘robust resilience', ‘personal growth’ and restored ‘pleasure in life’ following therapy.

These are some of the things people may be thinking or saying when they decide to seek professional support: "I experience awful feelings of panic." "I feel anxious a lot of the time. "I feel tearful a lot." "I can feel angry all day and it feels bad." "Life appears very confusing and complicated" I offer professional counselling, support and strategies to help you navigate your way through whatever your issues may be, already in the first session. I hold a professional psychotherapy diploma from the Human Givens Institute. This approach helped a family member with anxiety very much which is why I chose to train in it also.

How long would you like to be in the dark, telling me how dark it is? When shall we look for the light? Each of us is born with a powerful set of tools which we use to seek out and satisfy our needs for emotional nourishment. If those needs are being met in healthy, balanced and sustainable ways it is very much easier to maintain good emotional health. However, if that guidance system is not properly programmed, or if it has been damaged in some way, perhaps through trauma or poor skills development, it will be difficult to build a firm foundation for emotional well-being. Really good therapy will address those issues, quickly.

Do you feel anxious, depressed or ‘stuck’? Perhaps you are struggling to move on from difficult experiences, feel overwhelmed or in constant physical pain. Or maybe you'd just like to find a calm space to untangle your thoughts. I use a wide range of tried and tested counselling and meditative techniques to help you feel more hopeful and optimistic right from the first session...

Have you confidence or self esteem issues, do you suffer from depression? I love working with adults, young and old, who have goals but sometimes get stuck because of issues from the past; perhaps trauma, bullying or family issues. I can help to identify what these issues are and find ways to overcome them. Or you may be suffering from PTSD and wish to be free of the debilitating symptoms this can cause for yourself and your family. I have many tools to draw upon and a wide range of life and work experience. I can work with you to get you back on track quickly and safely so that you can lead a happier and healthier life

Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, stress or trauma? Or do you feel that something is missing, or just isn't quite right? Do you want a fast & effective embodied solution from your home/office without a lifetime of therapy? Then email me... Online sessions only. For a limited time only, I am offering new clients a free 15 min clarity telephone call to see how it feels to work together.

The goal of an individual therapy is to inspire change and improve the quality of life through self awareness and self exploration.

I am a registered Human Givens therapist and mindful self-compassion teacher. I understand that you want to feel better quickly. I will listen, guide and respond with warmth and respect using the best evidence-based techniques to suit you and your particular needs. These might include CBT, compassion based approaches, explanations about brain function, relaxation and visualisations together with NICE approved techniques to work on traumatic triggers. Without unduly dwelling upon the past we can deal with old difficulties, current situations and learn new skills to approach the future with a renewed sense of wellbeing.

Working together, tailoring every session to your individual and unique set of circumstances and goals, I can help you to get to where you want to be. I will help you to drop destructive patterns that are holding you back, keeping you anchored in the past.

Do you feel alone with your problems? Stressed up and anxious? Lonely and depressed? Unhappy in relationships? Full of anger? Mourning a loss? Looking for meaning and direction? If so why not come for a chat to see how I can help? I have helped people from various walks of life and of different ages. I have assisted clients going through the midlife crisis to find meaning and a sense of purpose. I have made a difference to the lives of young people ridden with anxiety, searching for values and goals and uncertain of their personal and career choices.

Perhaps you find life overwhelming or maybe you are struggling with a sudden crisis? Do you feel down and is it affecting your quality of life, your relationships with family and friends? Maybe you are trying really hard to accept life as is, or no matter how hard you try to make changes, time and again you meet similar situations, recognisable patterns that seem to be repeating themselves?

I have been working as a qualified & accredited Therapist for 15years, I offer a safe place where confidentiality is agreed, my values are offering a non-judgemental attitude, honest, and caring, trust enables the therapeutic relationship to build, which enables you to explore issues on a deep level. Through exploring issues, reflecting and eventually letting go, you are able to set new goals and build a better quality of life. This can be an empowering experience and help build your self esteem and confidence and access your power within, this starts the process of believing in self, "Self belief is everything”

Are you feeling overwhelmed, pre-occupied with worries or struggling with intense emotions? Do you feel numb, disconnected or lost in your life, with others and your environment? Would you like to better understand your life journey? Manage the complexities and find ways to connect with your inner and outer worlds?

Are you suffering from depression or Anxiety? Have you seen a GP who has prescribed anti-depressants that haven’t helped that much? Have you realised that perhaps it is time to get some professional help? There is no doubt about it; life in London is extremely stressful. You may be dealing with difficult employment and relationship issues that can easily lead to depression and anxiety. I offer modern and intelligent help to my clients. I aim to help you get your life in order in as few sessions as is possible.

You may find it difficult, sometimes impossible, to control feelings of panic, anger, unworthiness or despair. If everyday life sometimes overwhelms you, for whatever reason, whether it's a result of trauma, difficult life changes, or unhelpful ideas about who you are, change is possible and can be quicker than you would think! If you are looking to gain perspective, learn ways of coping, feel more in control and hopeful about your ability to cope, I can help.

Has your desire disappeared? Maybe you're questioning your sexual orientation? Navigating through the complexities of sex and relationships can feel like riding a rollercoaster, and not the fun kind. You've explored every avenue, and advice from Google isn't cutting it. You might feel hesitant about trying sex therapy, or perhaps you've had a less-than-great experience in the past. Either way, you need someone who will listen without judgement.

I have worked in the NHS previously and have therefore worked with mental health ranging from Personality Disorders to Depression. Working independently with my own practice has enabled a wider range of clients including working with eating habits, OCD and low mood. I truly believe that having some space to discuss what is going on for you makes a big difference and I will work with you on whatever issue you are bringing to the session. I have also trained in couples therapy so I am able to offer this as well as individual sessions. I offer weekday appointments, evening sessions on Wednesdays as well as virtual on a Monday evening.

Are you a successful professional woman who doubts your own accomplishments? Do you sometimes feel that you are worthless or not good enough, or that you are somehow going to be found out? Do you think that you easily put others needs above your own? Would you like to have more confidence and self belief in who you are and what you do? Just imagine for a moment what your life would look like if you did feel more confident within yourself! Imagine what life would look like if you changed any negative belief for a new empowering positive belief!
