Counselling in L17

With an extensive background of working in mental health I have worked with issues such as depression and anxiety, and personality disorders, mood disorders, trauma, and abuse. Ive worked with those who have had circumstantial problems such as loss, relationship issues/breakdowns, to long standing histories of abuse, adverse childhood experiences, isolation and complex mental health needs. No issue is too much or too overwhelming, as I believe with the right support, patience and care, we can both find the solution and the unravelling of the meaning of the problem to know how to take one step forward.

New York City native. I deliver a Holistic, Person-centered integrative therapy approach to UK-based clients with a variety of mental health issues. I offer clients from all walks of life the opportunity to work with creative materials as a way to explore emotions, experiences, and challenges on their journey to well-being. I currently charge £35 for online sessions and £50 for face-to-face appointments. I look forward to working with you.

Do you worry constantly, and feel unable to stop? Do the same thoughts seem to go round and round Your head? The psychological intervention I use is from evidenced based research and enables you to understand the role overthinking plays in anxiety and depression. Generally this intervention is concluded in 6/8 sessions, known as Metacognitive therapy. My work as a Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool and clinician at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, has identified clear specific ways to, be aware, understand, and therefore control this negative pattern of thoughts, within the setting of a nonjudgmental approach.

We all have times when we feel lost, alone or misunderstood. We want things to change but we don’t know how. Unsure of what we want we may talk to family or friends, but all they do is offer opinions. Sometimes we have no one to talk to and remain trapped in isolation unsure of own truth. This is where counselling can help.

I am a Person-Centred therapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist and EMDR therapist. With a background in Psychology, I have always been interested in how our experiences, relationships and environments impact us. I aim to provide a warm, comfortable and confidential space for you to process whatever is causing you unease. I’m passionate to empower individuals to build on their inner resources to cope with the challenges and struggles everyday life can bring. Perhaps you want to gain some understanding, create positive change, or heal past traumas/emotional wounds. Whatever it may be, I am here to support you through your journey.

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed or at a point in life where you know you need to make a change? Do you need a safe space to explore how you are really feeling with no judgement and an unbiased perspective? Do you need space to clarify your thoughts and feelings?

Are you feeling stuck in old patterns? Perhaps life is feeling overwhelming, or just not as fulfilling as you sense it could be? Reaching out for help is truly one of the bravest and kindest things we can do for ourselves. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, depressed or anxious, you don't have to feel it alone. I have experienced the healing power of therapy both as client and as therapist. It is my belief and experience that things can change for the better when we have the right support. My work as a suicide prevention therapist and training in trauma have deepened this belief. Whatever you are bringing, it is welcome here.

We all experience difficulties and challenges at some point in our lives which can leave us feeling anxious, stressed and worried. We all have past experiences that can still affect us in the here and now. Trying to make sense of these issues and experiences and trying to find our place in the world can often feel overwhelming and frightening, especially if we believe that we are the only ones feeling this way. Effective counselling can give you the time and space you need to help you to explore and begin to make sense of the issues affecting your life and allow you to focus on the changes you may want to make.

Many of us are feeling overwhelmed right now. It may be that you want to make some changes in your life or need some support in order to help you see things more clearly and identify ways forward. The COVID pandemic has impacted on us all in a variety of ways, bringing huge anxiety, stresses, change and loss. I offer a safe, supportive, confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without feeling judged. I work with young people and adults, face to face and I am qualified to work online via video or email/message.

If you have found yourself here today, you may be struggling with feelings of low worth. You may be experiencing grief, anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm or have questions about your past or present. Looking up at the mountain ahead of you can feel overwhelming. Reaching out for help is a great first step in making a change. I can help you to work through the beliefs you hold about yourself. I can help you to see how your beliefs – often established during childhood, and your past experiences can have a huge impact on how you feel about yourself, your relationships and your life today.

My expertise lies in the areas of social anxiety, low self-esteem and low self-confidence. I provide counselling for individual adults. Sessions take place in a caring and professional environment, which is sufficiently challenging to effect change. Working together we can help you gain a better understanding of yourself, to overcome obstacles in your life, and reach your goals. I work with people on a wide range of issues. The quality of the therapeutic relationship contributes to a positive outcome in counselling, which is very important in my work.

Do you feel like you're struggling with something that you feel uncomfortable about opening up to with friends or family? Struggling with your relationships? Sad or angry a lot of the time? Anxious so often you feel like you can't enjoy your experiences? Feeling stuck- having no motivation to do the things that you wish you were doing? Feeling doubts about how you're choosing to spend your time- your life? Feeling like you don't know yourself and you'd like someone to help you to explore your sense of identity? Or perhaps you've experienced traumas in your life that so far you've kept to yourself and now feel ready to share?

I have been practicing for many years. I have experience of working with adults, children and families; counselling a variety of issues. I adapt and adjust my sessions to ensure you the client get what you want and need from each counselling session. I will work with you to explore and understand your fears and distress, encouraging you to move forward at your pace.
