Humanistic Counselling in SW11

I am an integrative therapist, meaning that I use a number of approaches when working with clients. I believe that one size does not fit all and so my approach offers flexibility to suit you as an individual and your individual needs. I will support you not only to explore how your history may be impacting your present-day life, but also to look forward to a more purposeful and meaningful future. I offer individual therapy for adults (18+) both online and in-person in multiple locations in London (Clapham, Wimbledon and London Bridge).

Dear friend, Are you fed up with feeling like something in your life isn’t working? Do you want to feel like yourself again? Are your days filled by constant stress, endless pressures and never ending to-do lists? Do you spend a lot of time worrying about what other people think and how to make them happy? Are you running yourself ragged while trying to keep your head above water? And even as you try to fall asleep at night… Do you replay everything you could have done differently? Do you think about all the things you HAVE to do tomorrow? Do you question whether all you’re doing is even enough?

Often words aren’t enough to explain all that we feel, especially when we don’t know what is at the root of our painful emotions. At times, we are too overwhelmed by our thinking, and we feel stuck and unable to move forward. As an ADMP-registered Dance Movement Psychotherapist, I offer my clients a private, relaxed and informal space where we can work together in confidence about any troubling issues they may be experiencing.

I trained at Bristol University and the London Metropolitan University and am an Individual member registered with the BACP. Along side working within the NHS, I carry out work with a charity supporting single parents. I provide a non judgemental safe protected space. I am an integrative counsellor, which means I am able to draw upon different resources to meet your individual needs and requirements. Some areas of work I work with are; stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, men's health, bereavement and loss, physical and domestic violence, low confidence and self-esteem issues, substance misuse disorders and many more.

Starting therapy can be difficult. I offer a flexible form of therapy that aims to bring your needs into focus, and I tailor my work towards that. You can be assured that we work in a safe and ethical framework where your issues and concerns are taken seriously, and we can approach your current issues with more imagination. I like to integrate my approaches, and this can include more creative ways to express. I offer counselling in person and online. I have trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) psychotherapy, at the Metanoia Institute - TA I have found can be an excellent way to start to put words to your relational issues.

Looking for an outsider's perspective? Wanting a change? When working together closely, in an open, honest and confidential setting, we can access parts of your past, present and future to break old beliefs and thought patterns. Among all the new perspectives therapy has to offer, learning coping strategies to help you function in everyday life is something concrete you can take away.

I really appreciate how difficult it can feel reaching out and taking these first steps. I want you to know there are so many ways for you to work through what you're struggling with and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. My style is warm and authentic, where I go at your pace and help you to focus on where you want to get to. I offer both a listening ear, as well as practical tools for you to put into practice, so that you feel you're getting the most out of therapy.

We enjoy working with all things diversity from neurodiversity to cultural diversity. We work with organisations to ensure psychological safety but we also dedicate work to coach individuals to maximise their neurodiverse strengths for high performance in the workplace. We have developed a programme to treat racial trauma and a programme to help allies to support their colleagues, friends, family and peers. If you are worried about your mood, your relationships or your performance at work and you are neurodiverse or culturally diverse, we can help you....no we can work together.

Life can be challenging and at times we may find ourselves out of control, struggling to cope and in emotional pain. Whatever the issue may be, therapy may help you to understand your experiences, feelings and thoughts. I believe in supporting my clients to recognise what is important to them and to live a life in line with their values. I value the importance of the therapeutic relationship as a healing process and I am committed to providing a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can feel able to explore your difficulties in depth and increase your self-understanding in order to bring change and possibility.

Sometimes life can be difficult to navigate alone. Perhaps you feel stuck, held back by low self-confidence or unsure which path to take, or you may be facing a big change and feel as if your world has turned upside-down. Giving yourself space to talk this through with an impartial professional in a supportive environment can give you clarity and a fresh perspective. Exploring difficult feelings and reflecting on the emotions that surface increases self-awareness and helps you understand your thought processes, behaviour patterns and ways of relating, empowering you to move your life forward in the way that is right for you now.

For reasons you may or may not be aware of, you or someone you know may be experiencing feelings of stress, low-mood, anger, anxiety, sadness to name a few. Small or big, such emotions can be painful and burdensome. Within a few sessions I can help you feel better + support you through life’s inevitable challenges, leading to lasting change. Provided with a compassionate + confidential space to talk, a better understanding of our emotions and a tool kit that is forever yours to employ, clients often describe feeling a sense of ‘robust resilience', ‘personal growth’ and restored ‘pleasure in life’ following therapy.

How are you feeling today? Are you having another hangover? A feeling of regret? Or that sense of doom? Did you promise yourself or others that you will change, but it was not the right time for you? If you are reading this, you are probably seeking someone to talk to about your difficulty with alcohol or substance misuse and or other compulsive behaviours that affect your ability to function effectively in your life. Are these problems impacting your relationships, causing you guilt and shame? These thoughts, feelings, and attitudes can begin to affect your mental health, which is why it might be time to talk to someone.

There are times in every person's life when things feel overwhelming, hopeless or impossible and it can be difficult knowing what to do in these moments or where to turn to for support. You may have gone through several life changes, be questioning your purpose or may simply be wanting to better understand your feelings and behaviour. I aim to create a safe space where you can express yourself without fear of judgement or rejection. I will listen to you, explore the difficulties you are facing and provide a place where you can simply 'be', with no pressure to be anything other than yourself.

We all have moments when we feel low, stressed, anxious, depressed and just sometimes we can't seem to let go of our past experiences. Believing that the relationship between therapist and client is key, I aim to create a safe, warm space where clients can be heard and understood, to explore the depths of their thoughts and feelings, allowing them to speak the unspoken. I understand that each individual experience is unique and therefor tailor therapy to the needs of each client separately.

Feeling nobody quite "Gets YOU?" Impulsive, disorganised, head scrambled, masking due to ADHD/ASD? Drugs or alcohol used to self medicate, relax or cope with stress but now noticed its getting out of control?  Anxiety and panic attacks starting to control your life but not sure the trigger? Or do you just have a sense something is wrong but struggle to open up or express how you feel to your partner, family or friends? The beauty of talking to a counsellor is I am neutral and independent of your situation which can make it easier to open up and explore your feelings and thoughts.

I believe that the 3 most common reasons leading people to seek therapy are Anger, Sadness & Belief System. This belief system could be one you were taught by somebody else or one you have created that is not serving you, for example feeling that you are not enough or that you are unloveable. I offer safety and support with the unbearable. I provide guidance in your discovery and unpacking of baggage. I use creative methods: art, body work, play therapy and nature.
