Relational Counselling in SW1V

As a relational humanistic psychotherapist, I specialise in creating a warm and safe, non-judgmental and empathic space where clients are able to explore any difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours that are getting in the way of healthy living, gaining insight into how to go forward. Oftentimes having suffered a significant life event such as a loss or bereavement, perhaps a divorce or other confusing relationship issues in the distant past, we become blocked, needing effective strategies and techniques to continue. I work online (during Covid lockdowns) by telephone or face to face, in both short and long term settings.

25yrs+ Private Practice in Bodywork, Talking Therapies, Relational and Behaviour Change experience inform my Integrative Counselling approach. This means relationships and how we relate to ourselves and others, is key to understanding how we experience life and our mental wellbeing. I have lived, worked and travelled extensively, working with a wide variety of people from all walks of life, presenting with varied mental health states including: stress, anxiety, depression, questions of identity, health concerns, life transitions: pregnancy, parenthood, relationship beginnings/endings, work, menopause, mid-life crisis, ageing, death.

I am a qualified Psychodynamic counsellor. My training and personal experience have led me to believe people are connected with and influenced by society, cultures, and so on. By forming a safe and trusting relationship in therapy, we can see how past and existing connections unknowingly impact you and gain a deeper insight into your problems and a greater awareness of your own self and your way of relating. Discovering self can be scary and I strive to follow you at your own pace. Being a queer woman and a therapist with an ethnic minority background have deepened my understanding of isolation and marginalisation.

Life often presents us with unexpected challenges, leaving us with a sense of distress and overwhelm. I understand that opening up about your thoughts and feelings can be daunting. That is why I provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space to support the challenges you might be encountering. Whether you're experiencing depression, anxiety, the complexities of relationships, the effects of past trauma, the weight of grief, or simply seeking to develop a deeper self-understanding and purpose, my approach is tailored to your unique needs.

Hello! Reaching out for support when you need help can feel overwhelming and nerve-wracking - having the courage to speak with a professional has potential to change everything. As a professional and a human being, I bring a huge amount of experience and understand the importance of providing a friendly and safe space to help my clients to thrive. Life affects us all and mental health issues are signs that we need to take action to feel better. Working through life events, worries and relationship difficulties with support of a trusted practitioner can create growth and happiness.

Perhaps a recent event has brought up complicated feelings, or you live with anxiety, or relationships have been difficult for as long as you can remember. Sometimes it might feel that despite doing everything 'right', you find yourself in familiar patterns. Therapy should feel like a safe space to which you can bring your whole self. My work helps clients understand how their experiences (both past and present) and any unconscious forces might be impacting their relationships and ways of coping with life. Psychodynamic therapy promotes greater self-awareness and a space for you to take each session in the direction you need to.

Are you struggling emotionally in your day-to-day life? Are you in a period where you need to find a sense of well-being, meaning in your life? Are you feeling low? anxious? isolated? and you would like to understand more yourself and/ or explore what is affecting you. There are many different moments and reasons in life which require to take some time and reflect in order to feel better.

The modern pressures of life can take their toll on us – increasing responsibilities and being connected 24/7 can leave us feeling burnt out, anxious, and overwhelmed.

It can give you the space to explore what is really going on, process difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies and restore your mental well-being - so that you aren’t just surviving, but thriving in the world.
