Counselling in N22

For the past 20 years I have been developing my skills as a psychological therapist, working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, community and hospitals. Private and NHS. I have extensive experience with mental and physical health issues and I believe they are deeply connected. So I've seen a lot, and I've never met anyone I didn't feel I could help, if they wanted and were ready for change. We are all seeking - and deserve - the best life we can make, for ourselves and for those around us. Clinical psychologists, at their best, are 'science-helpers', turning science into a helping art.

Distress is not inevitable or permanent. To move away from distress, something needs to change. Together we can explore that something. Distress can be: anxiety, anger, depression and loss. But you are not a piece of paper to be filed, a case to be studied or a collection of symptoms to be diagnosed. You are a unique. An individual to be fully heard and supported in a safe confidential space or exploration. I counsel change in: response through choice, vulnerability through resilience, resolve through strategy. I work: with compassion and skill, without labels or judgement, but always with a passion for change.

People seek psychotherapy for many different reasons. Sometimes things can feel overwhelming and you don’t feel like you can cope. Some look for support through difficult experiences in life, both past and present; some want to gain a better understanding of their recurrent patterns. If these are familiar with how you have been feeling, I'm here to support you to find out your difficulties and resolve them with you. I believe my relationship with you in the therapeutic process is important for change and transformation. I am compassionate about helping people to find their own ways and treating a variety of clients for many years.

I have trained in existential psychotherapy, and I apply this in my work with clients. The starting point is the experience of the client, to provide the opportunity for them to examine their understanding of life, and the problems and dilemmas they face; to reassess their goals and desires. It provides an opportunity to consider how their choices have been constrained, perhaps by the views and expectations of others, but also by constraints rooted in our society. Understanding can lead to questioning, and growth, possibly in new directions.

MBACP Integrative Therapist, Women Empowerment Coach and Trauma Focused. Many clients have come to work with me because of my extensive experience in working with adverse childhood experiences (ACE), trauma, depression, anxiety, inner child wound and life transitions. 
I help clients learn how to untangle overwhelming thoughts that brings them down and make peace with their emotions.Because your thoughts impacts your beliefs which leads to feelings, which leads to your behaviour. Clients often find this helpful to their own healing process/journey. I currently offer online, telephone, email, outdoor, group, long/short term therapy.

I am a Qualified Counsellor and Social Psychologist (PhD), offering integrative psychological therapy, drawing on person-centred and humanistic therapies. I am a Registered Member of BACP. I mainly work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, social anxiety, stress, relationship issues, domestic violence, violence, abuse, self-esteem problems and self-confidence problems. As humans, we are social beings. Our social relationships make who we are and we tend to feel stress and anxious when things do wrong. I help my clients to feel more functional and happy in their relationships with themselves as well as others.

I am a qualified counsellor and Gestalt psychotherapist, registered with UKCP. I have experience working with clients from different backgrounds and with a variety of presenting issues in a social care setting, in private practice and for counselling charities. I offer short term and long term- open ended therapy. In my practice as a Gestalt Psychotherapist I am aspiring to engage in the therapeutic relationship with sensitivity, authenticity, an embodied approach and with the intention to be fully present and relational with the people I work with. I offer a safe, warm, compassionate and confidential space to help you explore your feelings, thoughts and relationships with your self and others; make sense of any difficulties you may be experiencing e.g. feeling stuck in ways of being and behaving that no longer work for you, painful events in the present, distressing memories from the past or worries about the future. I will accompany you throughout a journey of awareness, growth and change.

Hello, I have many years of specialist training and experience of helping adults and young people who have experienced abuse and trauma in their past which continues to affect many areas of their life even now in the present moment. I can offer early morning and evening therapy via Zoom. People who have worked with me have said that I have been kind, calm, supportive, helpful and non-judgemental in our work together. I understand how difficult it can be to speak about the past and to be vulnerable. I can begin to help you to feel safe enough to work through difficult feelings, emotions and thoughts from our very first session.

I work with people of all ages and backgrounds, at different stages of their lives and with different things that they would like to address. Sometimes people come with something specific such as anxiety or a bereavement, following a relationship breakdown or with obsessive compulsive symptoms. Sometimes people come because they are dissatisfied with work, or relationships; friendships, family or intimate relationships. And sometimes people come because they feel stuck or out of sorts, like they want things to be different and they're not sure how, but they want change somehow. Individuals and couples.

People often feel unsure about starting therapy and it can feel like a big decision to make. I would suggest a one-off consultation to meet. This will allow us time to think together about whether you would consider working with me and how I might be able to support you in making changes to improve your situation.

I love to support people to grow to be the best, and most fully functioning version of themselves possible. The barrier to this looks very different from person to person. Sometimes it will be a difficult past, sometimes a problematic present and maybe even fear about the future, that can bring sadness, rage or terror. The ideal client will be willing to be curious about themselves, and to develop a commitment to exploring what self-knowledge, actions or changes will bring healing, relief and an opening of possibility.

I am a Qualified Person-Centred Therapist, a registered member of the BACP. (MBACP).

My work also encompasses; Schools, Further Education Colleges, Sexual Health Clinics, Faith Communities and the LGBTQi+ community I use a client centred approach as a collaborative process to bring about holistic change for positive life outcomes.

I offer a confidential non- judgemental space where you can talk about what is concerning you. You may come because you have issues related to anxiety, stress, sadness, low self esteem or anger. You may have deep feelings of disappointment with yourself, and others, or feelings of pointlessness, conflict within relationships. You may be struggling with a personal crisis or life event and would like to talk through with someone who is outside your friendship or family group. I listen to what is concerning you and help you reflect and explore these issues from various angles so that you find a clearer way forward.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, or that you're lacking a sense of purpose? Is something holding you back from living the life you want to live? Maybe you are struggling to communicate and connect with your partner? Do you question why you keep repeating the same patterns? My aim is to help you explore your feelings, thoughts and emotions and the affect they have on your behaviour and mood. I see the therapeutic process as a collaborative one, with us working side-by-side to develop your inner resources, communication skills, improve awareness of yourself, your body and your relationships with others.

I think we sometimes come to therapy not knowing exactly what it is that's causing us pain. Maybe we feel fear, anger, confusion or just a sense of detachment from who we feel we used to be or could be; sometimes it is only symptoms (such as addictions, eating disorders, OCD) which we can identify. Past, unaddressed, trauma may be arsing or you might be experiencing family or work issues or, maybe, you’re in grief (from a death/relationship breakdown). Whatever your reason for wanting therapy I know that, ultimately, we want to feel better than we do right now.

Mental health is a broad topic. Even nowadays people seem to find it difficult to go to a therapist because of the stigma around mental health. I am here to fight for it ! Seeking help for your mental health is as natural as going to a doctor when you are physically ill or asking for extra hand when you cannot assemble your furniture on your own. Does that not sound natural and normal? So does seeking help for your health. Additionally, there are no such criteria in order to seek help. So in order to seek help it does not mean you have to have a diagnosed mental health problem.
