I have over 18 years post qualification experience as a psychotherapist/ counsellor Jungian analyst and Group Therapist working privately and in the NHS. I also work as a psychotherapist at the University of London and teach and supervise trainee counsellors and psychotherapists.

Individual therapy offers a private safe space in which to explore difficult issues with a trained professional. It’s an opportunity to take a closer look any underlying issues and a space to work out ways to manage difficult feelings. I work with individuals who experience difficulties with their emotions, thinking style and or behaviour. I also work with people who have difficulties related to stress, anxiety, depression or other mental health issues including, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), Bi-polar disorder, Post traumatic stress disorder and personality issues.

I work with a wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and recovery from difficult relationship endings and emotional abuse. Therapy can help by providing you with the tools to manage your difficulties as well as providing insight into their underlying causes, heal from difficult experiences and move on with your life.

I am a psychotherapist and supervisor and hold a master’s degree in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy. Currently, I am also in the accreditation process for EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). One focus of my work is exploring the space where mind and body meet. I believe they are not separate. By listening to the body, we create pathways to our current and past experiences. This interest led me to EMDR and the idea that experiences can be ‘locked’ in our bodies. EMDR a method which is effective in treating individuals who have psychological difficulties arising from traumatic experiences.

I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, past or present trauma, shame, and LGBTQIA+ related issues. Life can bring many challenges where you may feel overwhelmed. It may be a specific life event, relationship problems or work related stress; or an ongoing anxiety, depression or low mood that concerns you. Perhaps you have questions of identity? Or perhaps feel your life is lacking purpose? Life can be difficult to navigate and this is where counselling can support you.

I am a Counselling Psychologist with extensive experience of working in the NHS and non profit organisations with people presenting with a range of psychological difficulties, including complex emotional needs, longstanding relationship issues and addictions. The decision to engage in psychotherapy may not be an easy one, often evoking difficult feelings. This is why I offer an initial consultation appointment in a confidential and ethical space, to discuss your reasons for seeking treatment and to explore the nature of your difficulties with the view to deciding most suitable form of therapy.

It is not uncommon to reach a point in life where you feel you need to reach out for help and talk about what is going on for you in a safe space without the fear of being judged, not being taken seriously and with someone who is trained to help you. It doesn't matter how problematic your life is or what form, or size (small, medium or big) the problems or challenges in your life take, if they are causing you to suffer and be unhappy then I can help you explore them, move forwards and grow at a pace that works for you.

Thank you for visiting my page. I am currently working online only. Life can present us with many challenges, some of which may be harder to deal with than others. I work with clients who have/are experiencing depression, anxiety, bereavement, addictive behaviours, and abuse to name a few, which can leave us feeling blocked, hopeless and unaware of what to do. I use an integrative approach to therapy which includes, gestalt, person-centred, psychodynamic and CBT therapy to deepen awareness of these blocks and to help you make a healthy change.

Relationship difficulties, bereavements, life transitions are all things that can catch us off-guard, causing us to question ourselves/our lives and leaving us feeling overwhelmed, scared, numb and struggling to function as we’re used to. Or maybe you don’t feel that anything major has happened, but that something just doesn’t feel right. Many of the people I work with for example, describe themselves as textbook “high achievers” who have accomplished a lot but also carry with them a sense of longing, of life feeling flat or that, despite the successes, they as a person still just aren’t ‘good enough.’

The Mind Umbrella a swift, targeted, personalised, directive and structured approach to dealing with events that might lead people to experience stress and worry, fears and phobias, difficulties preparing for or adjusting to upcoming stressful procedures (e.g exams, surgery), difficulties adjusting to life events like chronic illness or chronic pain, signs associated with anxiety or depression, weight, appearance or body image problems, self-esteem issues, feelings of incompetence

Every day living can be overwhelming for everyone. Are you feeling that life is getting on top of you? Is there a gap between what you want and what you've got? Are you feeling physically / emotionally tired at your work or in your relationships? Or you want to live a great life and achieve great things? We can work together to make sense of these experiences and how you can use them in order to challenge self-limiting beliefs and make the progress you want. We will work together within the framework of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy.

I have been working as a clinical psychologist and a psychotherapist since 1993.

I work with a wide range of clients, however, most clients reach out to me when they are looking to work around relationships, low mood or anxiety, and difficulties in adjusting to change. Overall, my aim is to help my clients gain insight into their struggles and find different ways of thinking, behaving, and feeling about life and their circumstances. Change can sometimes be a painful and scary process, but working with someone willing to walk alongside you and help you develop the skills to manage the process can certainly make the therapeutic journey a pleasant and enjoyable one.

As far as anyone can tell, you're excelling in your career and making a real impact in the lives you touch. However, the relentless demands at work are taking a toll on your mental health. You're burning out. Underneath the surface, you’re struggling with your own silent challenges and you’re afraid that soon it will all come crashing down. Despite trying mindfulness apps, yoga and self-help books, these coping tools have now lost their impact. Quietly battling is no longer sustainable or safe anymore. Exhausted from suffering in silence and pushing through, you're eager to restore balance and find renewed fulfilment in life again.

Counselling offers a unique opportunity to pay focused attention to anything that you might want to talk about. This happens in an environment that feels safe, trusting and free of judgement. By exploring your past experiences, we can make connections in relation to your present circumstances.

Life can feel hard and complicated for many of us as we struggle with painful emotions, stress, physical pain, worries, and unhelpful behaviours. I am here to help you make sense of your difficulties and understand your body and mind, so that you can meet your unmet needs. Together we uncover your values and the resources that you have within you already. We develop skills to support you to cope more effectively, manage your thoughts and emotions, regulate your body, and change unhelpful habits, so that you can live with greater wisdom, ease and satisfaction, even as you continue to navigate through the challenges in your life.

People come to counselling/therapy for a range of issues including relationships, stress, fear or anxiety, confidence & self-esteem, procrastination, unhelpful habits or addictions & a whole range of other issues. In the beginning my role is to get to know you, understand who you are, listen why you have come, why you are the way you are, what you might need. I usually ask a lot of questions to find out about you now and what brings you to counselling, a little about your past, to find out how counselling can help alongside considering not only any underlying issues but also how you may want to live your life to your full potential.
