Hello, thankyou for looking at my profile. My intention is to develop a therapeutic alliance, a safe space to provide a hearing, a listening. Being with a committed other, every week is a rare and precious gift to yourself. This time will be your time. I am an integrative practitioner which means I bring everything I know, theoretically, intuitively, physically and emotionally, in the service of the other, in the moment. Locating feeling and releasing of emotions, is welcomed, through the body, voice or with artworks. I am committed to giving you and your experiences a full hearing, and so change will occur.

There are many reasons to look for a therapist, ranging from a crisis now to a general feeling of unhappiness, stemming from your past. Life throws up many events and difficulties and we aren't always able to solve these on our own. Anxieties, stress, feeling sad, isolation, as well as relationships, families, parenting, marriage, divorce, addictions, bereavement and loss are issues that we will all face at some point in our lives. They can leave us feeling confused and lost and without anyone to help us make sense of it. Therapy is safe, secure & non judgemental providing understanding, insight leading to change for you.

I work with young people and adults who are experiencing high levels of stress and anxiety; sometimes feeling overwhelmed, low in mood or lacking in confidence. You may have had upsetting experiences that you are trying to process, or finding it difficult to get on with people close to you? Some of my clients are feeling overwhelmed at work, and looking for support. When we meet, I will listen carefully to try to understand why you may be struggling and what changes you would like to make. After the assessment we will make a clear plan of what you would like to achieve and what a successful outcome from therapy looks like.

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.

It's challenging to have a human experience because of the social conditioning. Also, it's fascinating to be a human because the more you know about yourself, the better choices you can make & the more you can appreciate life. As per conditioning, we think that ther're “good” and “bad” feeling but once we educate ourselves on the emotional level, we realise that somatic sensations, emotions & feelings are important messengers acting as an internal compass. If you decide to work with me, I promise to show or remind you how to use the internal impulses to your benefit & for a much wholesome life.

I provide a confidential, safe space online, or in north London. Primarily using EMDR therapy (an evidence-based therapy initially developed for PTSD but now used for many other difficulties) in 75-minute sessions, I'll work with you to help work through past adverse or traumatic experiences, in order to improve how you feel in the present. This approach also helps with changing negative patterns of behaviour, improving your self-esteem, enhance self-acceptance and having more fruitful relationships with other people.

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 am passionate about empowering clients to develop or strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. In order to do this, I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I walk alongside my clients in their therapeutic journey, rather than taking the lead and instructing which can at times feel disempowering. Whilst I use my knowledge and expertise to help clients consider new ways of viewing the world and offer guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours to better suit their needs, I do not act as an "expert" as I believe each person knows themselves best.

You may be facing an immediate crisis, or dealing with long-standing challenges. You may be facing bereavement, struggling to overcome anxiety or tackling addiction. I believe that the therapeutic relationship provides a safe place in which you can look deeply at these issues and unpick the impact that they have across your life. In an environment of kindness and compassion, I will support you in reflecting on your life and exploring the situation in which you find yourself today.

I believe a good personal connection is of vital importance, and hence offer our initial session for free. With so many years in the field I'll almost certainly have experience with whatever you bring, and I'll listen fully and without judgement. Clients often say it's a huge relief to finally share, as the root of so much pain lies in an awful sense of isolation and shame, a feeling of 'What's wrong with me?' We find ourselves nursing a raw wound yet dread being seen as needy or vulnerable. It’s hard reaching out for help, but we consult professionals in all other areas so why not here where it actually matters the most.

Do you need somebody to help you understand and manage the challenges in your life in confidence? My approach is existential, which does not judge emotional suffering but looks instead at how you uniquely experience the world. I will help you explore your lived experience in terms of your relationships; your emotional well-being; and your values, choices and sense of purpose. You may come at a time of distress with a particular difficulty, or you may have reached a stage when you want to deepen your understanding of yourself. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can begin to make sense of whatever is troubling you.

Are you struggling with low mood or anxiety? Perhaps this is affecting your performance at work or your relationships? Maybe you have experienced years of low self-esteem or depression or feel you are not the person you once were? We all experience difficulties in life and carry negative beliefs about ourselves. This can lead to feelings of low self-worth which can negatively impact our lives. I have extensive experience helping people with stress, anxiety, depression, panic, life transitions and bereavement, as well as specifically with coercive control (abusive relationships and religious trauma).

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.
