Whatever you're feeling right now, there is help and support available to you. We all go through difficulties in our lifetime and for some, this can feel more manageable when shared with another person. You might be having difficulty sleeping, eating or achieving what you want in your everyday life. Asking for help takes courage and many people benefit from getting support from a professional. The counselling I offer allows you to explore and work through unmanageable or difficult feelings in a safe, non-judgemental and caring environment, helping you to identify which steps to take to overcome these challenges.

We all have ups and downs in life and sometimes those downs take us longer to come out of. I am a qualified integrative counsellor, trained to listen and support you as we look at what is keeping you where you are and look at what you’d like to change. I have helped clients with issues such as depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, loss, trauma and also helped clients who have wanted someone to hear what they are currently living through – for example, relationship difficulties or not feeling like themselves any more. Once you have an awareness of what's happening for you, we can explore your choices for changing things.

Do you find life or relationships difficult ? Do you feel anxious, depressed, vulnerable, wanting to change but uncertain on how to proceed ? I am a London based BACP Accredited Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Counsellor working in the NHS and in private practice in Wimbledon, London, and Online. Specialised in Chronic and life-threatening health conditions, Personality and Psychosomatic Disorders, Relationship and Psychosexual issues (intimacy, desire, sex and internet addictions, arousal disorders) I provide brief and long-term psychotherapy to adult individuals and couples in English and Italian.

Throughout our lives we all experience difficulties and challenges that sometimes we can’t manage on our own. Psychotherapy can be an extremely powerful tool to help us become more aware of who we are and gain a better understanding about our relationships with others and the situations we find ourselves in. My main approach to Psychotherapy draws on psychodynamic and attachment based principles, which involves the idea that thinking about past experiences and early childhood relationships can help make sense of current feelings, experiences, relationships and difficulties.

I work integratively, my training was in existential psychotherapy. This means I believe that life is naturally going to present struggles and that we need to navigate our way through life's givens: loneliness, anxiety and death are all givens of our life. I believe that the goal of therapy is to allow space to make meaning of life, align oneself with one's values and understand our limitations. I also believe that trauma has a lasting impact on our bodies and minds, and that through understanding the mind-body connection, healing can ultimately take place.

Since 2000, I have been helping women going through significant life changes e.g. bereavement, life-threatening disease, relationship and family issues, affairs, divorce, separation and mid-life crisis. They often experience feelings of isolation, anger, guilt, shame, insecurity, anxiety and despair. What they want from me is help them understand and be free of their pain and suffering and if possible, to lead a happy, rewarding life.

Feeling Anxious? Depressed? Stressed? Overwhelmed? Life changes? Perhaps they are interfering with your professional life? Or with your personal relationships? This can lead you into negative and unhelpful thoughts about yourself. I am here to help you to explore these distressing feelings and to work with you so that you can start to make sense of these feelings and so create positive change in your life.

Trust is in your therapist is at the heart of any effective therapy. My role is to provide a trustworthy relationship so you can tell me what is concerning you. It may be experiences from the past that are shadowing today and getting in the way. It may be something that has just happened, erupting into your life and making everything very unsure. Our work together would be to map things out, seeing what is relevant from the past, what can be done about it today and how does that change life. For some the past is key, others today and its impact on your plans and hopes for the future. Some may want to explore a pattern or event

My approach to therapy is integrative and as such I always try to adapt to each of my clients’ unique needs. Prior to settling down in the UK in 2004, I lived and worked in several countries. This allowed me to develop an awareness of human diversity and respect for one’s identity and beliefs. Life adversities impact each one of us differently. The assumptions and beliefs we hold about ourselves influence how much pain and suffering those adversities can inflict.

I am a qualified and experienced Integrative counsellor working with individual adults. Integrative approach comprises teachings based on psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive behaviour therapies. It offers broad academic foundation that can be moduled according to each individual's needs. This teaching emphasises the importance of our mutual relationship that is based not only on practical aspects and presenting issues but also on a real emotional connection. This is a collaboration between the two of us where I share in your experience and journey of discovery and understanding.

Making the decision to attend therapy can often feel overwhelming. However, for most people, this can be an extremely positive and empowering experience that engenders greater self-awareness and understanding. I am a fully accredited and qualified Cognitive (CBT) Psychotherapist with over 8 years of experience and specialise in working with adults. I place a great emphasis on the quality of the therapeutic relationship with clients.My approach is collaborative, empathic, warm, informal and relaxed, which allows for a safe and comfortable space to allow you to explore your thoughts, feelings and unhelpful behaviours without judgement

It takes a great deal of bravery and determination to reach out and change behaviours, thoughts and fears. Our initial session will help to set out how your mind works, your mode of modality, the goal you have in mind and answer any questions you have. I offer both hypnotherapy and psychotherapy in a comfortable room setting or walk and talk psychotherapy on Wimbledon Common, in all weathers. I also work in a NHS GP practice in London, where the doctors refer patients struggling with a variety of issues. I am DBS checked for your security.

I’m a strong believer that, in the words of Nelson Mandela “there is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living” – yet sometimes life is really quite tough and we find ourselves struggling and this ideal seems far from our reality. As COVID-19 disrupts our lives you may find yourself feeling emotionally overwhelmed, anxious, lonely, trapped and even feeling a huge sense of loss. You may have been struggling for some time and not got around to addressing it and now that something may be feeling a little bigger right now.

Sometimes aspects of our life can overwhelm us. Life events such as a bereavement, relationship/family issues, a job loss or isolation can leave us feeling fearful, stressed and unable to cope. We can also feel stuck in certain patterns that we wish to break free from. Talking about all these things can help to bring balance back into our lives and gain a new understanding of ourselves. I aim to make it possible for you to speak about things which you might not have put into words before and ask questions to help you with your thinking. Giving yourself the space to talk openly and be heard can bring about tremendous change within.

More and more i'm seeing clients who are overwhelmed, depressed, anxious, feelings of not being good enough and who are experiencing relationship issues. My goal is to help my clients reconnect with themselves, to find out who they are and what they really want out of life and then figure out how we can work together to achieve those goals, finding a little joy along the way to appreciate how far they have come and what they've accomplished already. Please email to make initial contact.
