Counselling in Hornchurch

I am a Clinical Psychologist working with adults in private practice (www.atimeandspace.com) and children and families in NHS practice. I support people to navigate a broad range of problems such as low mood, anxiety, burnout and stress, bereavement, loss, life transitions, fertility issues, parenting challenges, the effects of traumatic experiences, living with health conditions and new diagnoses, difficulty making decisions or feeling without a sense of purpose in life. I support people to feel they are living in a way that fits with their values and to depart from ways of being that no longer suit them.

It can be overwhelming navigating life’s obstacles while trying to keep on top of it all. You may be in a place where you don't feel like yourself, feeling lower than usual, anxious and maybe a little stuck. As a qualified Clinical Psychologist with many years of experience, I offer a safe, non-judgemental and warm space for you to feel heard, valued and understood. I work with all aspects of your identity such as your gender, culture and religion as I believe these unique factors shape who you are. I use a person-centred approach to identify the issues you may be facing and support you to reconnect with your strengths and values.

Hello! I work with a mixture of Children/Adolescents and adults. I work with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, experiences of trauma, low self-esteem, eating difficulties, OCD, and grief. You might not have a "goal" for therapy; you might just know you aren't happy right now and you want to find a way to live a life you value. I'm happy to talk though this with you in an initial consultation, to figure out if therapy may be helpful for you! I'll always approach your journey with kindness, compassion and warmth, and make therapy a positive (and sometimes challenging) process!

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become. -Carl Gustav Jung- A warm welcome to you. My primary aim is to facilitate a safe and empathic space for my clients where the psychological pain can be explored and validated without the fear of judgement or rejection. I have been trained in all mainstream therapeutic modalities, so I aim to tailor my approach to the unique needs and goals of each client. Alongside my private practice located just a few minutes from Hackney Wick station , I work in NHS as IAPT counsellor where I design and deliver individually tailored treatments for a wide range of presenting problems.

Are you struggling with feelings such as shock, guilt, regret, or anger? Stuck in emotional pain and it is affecting what you do or can't do? Not coping well with changes that are making your life unmanageable? Loss and grief is such a personal, unique experience that needs to be processed to mine the meaning of the relationship for you. Working with me, a highly experienced bereavement specialist, can give you the confidence in making the pathway to healing smoother. With support and guidance, it is possible to respond in different ways to our wounding experiences. And maybe even learn to cope well with future losses, too.

How many times have you questioned why you repeat the same actions, find yourself in the same relationships, similar conditions or even ruminating on the same thoughts. We often do things unknowingly and have a deep longing to know why. You long for insight on your past and your present and feel anxious about the future because of this. It is at your worst moments that you seek self introspection, yet you still feel stuck. Perhaps you have self doubt or have uncertainty about where you are or what you want in your life. You have a deep desire to attain the life you dream of but feel that you get in your own way.

Whether you are having momentary difficulties or are facing long-standing challenges, starting therapy can feel daunting. My approach focuses on creating a safe and supportive space to explore a range of difficulties including low mood and depression, OCD, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, eating and sleeping difficulties, as well as challenges within relationships. Other interests/specialities include racial and intergenerational trauma, difficulties associated with becoming and being a parent (including the perinatal period), as well as work-related challenges. I am now offering ADHD assessment to adults.

My direction towards self-development has exposed me to deep & wonderful values. I now understand that feelings don’t need to be avoided or feared, they just are. I know people are all inherently creative & given the right environment of empathy, non-judgmental & unconditional positive regard everyone can find their way.

I am a Chartered Psychologist, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, and therapist with over 10 years experience in mental health services.

I offer specialist assessments and therapy for children, adolescents, and adults.

You might be feeling anxious or low. Life events such as a loss or bereavement or any kind of very troubling experiences such as relationship or work problems may be causing you distress. Issues from your past may be causing you difficulty today or, you may simply have a more general feeling of not being as content with your life as you would wish to be but are unsure of the reasons why. Counselling can help you to explore and understand what is going on for you and how your life experiences may have affected you and help you find more satisfying ways of living. Counselling helps thousands of people in this way.

I am currently offering online therapy. I have ten years of experience working in mental health and in supporting people to identify, better understand and work through any difficulties, challenges or points of ‘stuckness’ they may be experiencing in their lives. Therapy is often about exploring different perspectives and developing the skills and tools we need to help navigate life’s challenges to allow us to move forward. I am flexible and collaborative in my approach to therapy because, in my experience, therapy is most helpful to people when it is tailored to their specific needs and the hopes they may have for the process.

You have already made a brave and important step on the journey to well-being and self-discovery, by enquiring about having therapy. As a Clinical Psychologist, I am passionate about helping people to realise the values, knowledge, and skills that they already hold, and how the awareness of this can enable them to live full, vibrant and satisfying lives. I believe that it is important to learn skills to help people cope with the present and the future, as well as making sense of past experiences to understand patterns that are happening in your life currently.
