Person-Centred Counselling in London

People seek therapy and counselling for all kinds of reasons: to solve problems, improve wellbeing, making sense of their past or build more meaningul futures. I've worked with people from many backgrounds and ages, all with varied life experiences, values, and goals. With years of experience in the NHS and private practice, I can help with Depression, Anxiety (including OCD and GAD) and psychosis. I have a special interest in complex emotional difficulties, personality disorder, identity, addiction and sexuality.

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with several years of experience. I offer one-to-one long or short-term therapy for adults. My room is in Haggerston/Dalston, Hackney, East London or online. My approach is Person-Centred which means I hold the belief that deep down, you know what's best to achieve your own best outcome in any life problem. Therefore, I never claim to be an expert on your experience. I aim to create an accepting, non-judgemental, understanding environment that can give us the space to work through any issues safely, confidentially and at your pace. Working together, we can find ways to untangle your blocks.

Hello, It's likely that you have arrived here because you are seeking help or support dealing with some of life’s difficulties. I appreciate that deciding to seek help and then contacting a therapist can feel like a big and daunting step. Whether that is to deal with anxiety, depression, confusion or unhappiness. Or perhaps it might be a feeling that your life has little meaning, you're lonely, or you lack a sense of direction. Or was there something else?

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 ?

Sometimes we reach a point in life where we struggle to see clearly and we even become uncertain about the future and even begin to question our relationships. For some of us, its unhealthy patterns and cycles that we keep on repeating, and find difficult to break free from. There are times in our lives, where the dark cloud of depression overpowers us and it feels like there is no escape, or anxiety that can at times feel crippling. At times we question our self worth and need help rebuilding our confidence back, and restabilising purpose in our lives. Whatever the issues are that you are facing, change is possible!

In life, we all encounter moments of uncertainty, challenges, and emotions that can leave us feeling overwhelmed. If you've found yourself here, it's likely you're seeking support and guidance through such times, and I want to extend a heartfelt welcome to you. Whether you're struggling with bereavement, relationship issues, self-esteem challenges, neurodiversity, exploring difference or simply seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, I am here to walk alongside you with unwavering support and guidance.
