Sleep or Insomnia Counselling in SE24

Counselling can help you to explore and work through emotional difficulties you may be experiencing that could be affecting your thoughts and behaviours. It is a space for you to share things that you may be finding difficult to talk to your friends and family about. These difficulties may be from your past that are now causing problems in your present or from a more recent trauma you have experienced in your life such as a relationship break-up, loss of someone close to you or difficulties with getting to sleep or sleep not feeling like sleep anymore, but feeling more like an escape.

I'm an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and personal tutor (PG Dip CBT, Institute of Psychiatry) with extensive experience and a genuine passion for helping people struggling with anxiety, depression or both. Working in several NHS Trusts, a specialist bereavement service and private practice, I have worked supportively with many people to identify and break down negative cycles so they can move forward positively in their lives. I often integrate approaches which sit well with CBT, such as Compassion Focused Therapy or ACT, to tailor a course of therapy which will offer the best individual support.

With over 15 years experience, every single client I worked with was ideal to me, as being unique, with his/her story, difficulties, weaknesses but also strengths. At times clients come to therapy with a specific goal, other times they do not have a clue, and this is part of the process. If a client is now reading my profile, he/she may be struggling with a recent or more long-standing emotional distress, not able to sleep, concentrate, work, relate to others, etc. He/she may be worrying about what to say to a psychologist; what to expect; possibly fearful of being judged, not understood; if the psychologist would be good enough...

If you are looking for a safe confidential space to explore difficult emotions and you are interested in using a creative model of therapy to explore them please get in touch. I have worked with individuals and groups in the NHS and at my private practice for over 15 years.

I am an Integrative Arts Psychotherapist (UKCP) providing a safe and confidential space for the exploration of feelings and thoughts. I respect every human being is a unique individual and support each of my clients to tackle issues they bring to the space. Through engaging with therapy with me, I have seen clients achieve a better understanding of themselves, feel more fulfilled and more able to tackle life's challenges. Alongside traditional talking therapy, I encourage the use of other modes of creative and artistic expression. This can provide further and useful insight, resonance and self-understanding.

I am a Chartered Doctor of Clinical Psychology with over 15 years of experience working within the NHS, clinical research & private practice.

I also have specialist experience in working with issues relating to diabetes & other long-term physical health conditions.

Now, this is when you feel it is enough, and you want to understand why you are feeling unhappy in a low mood. Perhaps you thought the situation would get better with time. But it doesn't. You may have a pretty good idea of what to do, but it is hard to face it alone or share your thoughts with the people around you.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Supervisor and EMDR therapist working in both the NHS and private practice. I work with adults suffering from a variety of psychological difficulties and/or relationship problems. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who are affected by past traumas and/or psychosis. I acknowledge that when seeking help for such difficulties time is of the essence and therefore I work with six associate therapists in my clinic so that if I do not have availability immediately then hopefully they will. Please do get in touch for a chat.

Does it seem as though your life will never get better no matter how much you try to change it? Does constant worrying make it hard for you to complete daily tasks? Is your work performance suffering? Are your relationships with co-workers strained? Is your family in turmoil and you’re feeling powerless to change things? Anxiety, depression, conflict with others, workplace issues and life events can stop us from feeling good about ourselves and achieving our goals. If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone. I can help you navigate confusing thoughts, feelings and behaviours to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs.

I offer short term Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which will enable you to better understand what is maintaining a particular issue so that we can work together towards making you feel better. To be clear you are the expert on you and my role is to support you so that you may help yourself without having to spend an inordinate amount of time having therapy or continually returning to therapy. I offer an initial six entirely confidential sessions at a safe space in North Dulwich. Alternatively I am also qualified in Gestalt humanistic therapy too for if the issue runs a bit deeper and the support needed is longer term.

Anxiety is just one of our most enquired about topics. Anxiety is a cognitive process and where fear lives. Fear is about stuckness. If we become stuck for any period of time, it builds-up into anxiety and panic. The more a person repeats a cognition, the stronger it becomes, like building a muscle. This is how we learn (through repetition) and sometimes things become unconscious. This can evoke a sense of confusion and shame, as people often say that whilst they feel anxious, they don’t know why. Therapy is a talking cure for whatever you are struggling with.

To say a bit about myself, I’m trained at Masters (MSc) level in Psychodynamic Counselling and Psychotherapy. I have worked at Waterloo Community Counselling for four years, an NHS multidisciplinary team working with survivors of child sexual abuse and a men’s residential unit which delivers personalised support for men with complex mental health needs. My style of working is psychodynamic. In its simplest form, this involves thinking about how your past impacts your current lived experience. A process that involves us thinking together about relationships in the past and present, whilst exploring unconscious thought processes.
