Firstly, thank you for being here. Deciding to work with a therapist is a big step - I've been there! Please note that I work online only and will have capacity from September 2023. How we might work together will range from creative exercises to a more pragmatic approach depending on your specific challenges. We'll work together towards the best possible outcome for you. Sessions are a time for you to tap into your needs in a space free of judgement - a space for you to just be. All of my training as an integrative therapist and relationship coach are available to you in our sessions.

I'm a qualified psychotherapist who works with teenagers and adults, offering both short-term and long-term therapy options. I provide therapy both online and from my office in Blackheath. My approach is primarily Existential. The starting point of existential therapy is the experience of the client; this means that I focus on your unique experience of yourself and the world, and your meaning-making processes. Existential analysis is concerned with how we choose to approach the problems, dilemmas and that we encounter. It helps us become aware of and change patterns in our lives and thinking that have become obstructive.

Welcome to my profile. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Sometimes life can be a struggle and reaching out can be daunting, it can be helpful to talk with someone that is not connected to your life or the difficulties you are facing. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!

Hi, thanks for taking a look at my profile. I’m a mixed race therapist based in Hither Green and currently working online. I understand that modern life can present us with daily stresses and challenges that can add up and feel like too much. I can support you to work through difficult emotions, loss and change. Are you struggling to work something out? Are there losses in your life that you are yet to come to terms with? Is it impacting your relationships, work or home life? Maybe it’s just a feeling that something is not quite ‘right’ for you at the moment.

Talking Therapy with Ama is about getting you back to you. Some clients may be struggling with common mental health problems like bereavement, anxiety or depression and need to develop some better ways of coping on the road to recovery. Others may be suffering more serious mental illnesses or seeking to heal from the lasting effects of trauma. Others may have nothing wrong but just want to use the space to check in with self, to reflect, perhaps set new goals and review their choices.

Maybe you are at a point where you wish to understand yourself and your reactions to difficult life events such as trauma, discrimination , loss or illness. Perhaps you are wanting to develop a better relationship with yourself and would like more respect and reciprocity in your relationships with others but feel unsure how you might put this into place? Healing and growth can both exciting and scary. But if you are open to learning from setbacks and making helpful changes, then progress is possible.

My ideal client is people who want fulfilment in their love, work and friendship life. This fulfilment is possible when there is a feeling of belonging in these three areas. However, this feeling of belonging is achievable through making meaningful contributions. Moreso, this contribution is achieved when they dare to be authentic.

Having therapy can be a difficult decision, especially when you feel low, self-critical, lonely, anxious, not worthy of having this type of care for your own self. The power to feel better and release this pain is within you, and I can help you access it. Together we can learn the best way for you to reach and keep a good self-esteem and mental health. I offer a confidential space in which you can feel understood, cared for, free to talk about anything that you require. I also offer walking therapy sessions, in peaceful green areas in London. For some clients this has proven deeply beneficial, if interested please enquire.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
