Counselling in W8

We all face hardships and difficulties at points in our lives and it’s not easy owning that we can’t always face this alone, but seeking therapy is a brave step and may be the first needed to initiate change. I believe that therapy can be a life-changing experience to enhance your self-awareness and self-understanding, leading to personal growth and development. Through a collaborative therapeutic experience we may explore past behaviours and relationships and how these affect you today, or explore philosophically the meaning you're giving to your current life and how you may wish to develop this.

I am a person who believes that our capacity to embrace the ups and downs of life is our greatest strength. Adversity can be a brilliant teacher if we are willing to learn and consequently, change. My objective is to help you find your own voice, recognise your greatest strengths and empower you to live a fulfilling life. I am confident that by working together we will make sense of your fears, whether you are struggling with debilitating anxiety, or you feel isolated from your friends and family. It is important that you know that paths exist that can help you to move ahead.

I believe this holding experience to be at the heart of change and overcoming difficulties.

Some life events can cause us to lose connection with ourselves. This reveals itself on the surface as symptoms such as; lack of control, anxiety, shame loss of motivation, sadness, numbness, emptiness, and/or change in appetite, sleep, and attention. During our sessions we aim to explore and work on your early childhood, past traumas, relationship patterns, and unmet expectations in a safe & non-judgmental space in order to create a state in which you start to feel acceptance, empowerment, and inner peace by strengthening this connection with your authentic self.

I meet and talk with people who, maybe like you, want to change how they feel.

My work with my clients is about surfacing what's going and helping clients process their feelings to reach a happier, more settled place.

A key predictor of positive outcomes from therapy is the quality of the relationship with between you and your therapist, and as such, my approach to you prioritises the relational process between client and therapist as this often translates to how you relate with others outside the therapy room.

Would you like help after a difficult life experience? Perhaps you are finding it difficult to sleep or to concentrate on things that you can normally do without difficulty? You may have been through a difficult experience recently or in the past and know exactly what you would like some help with. Equally, you might be feeling really down or anxious in general or in particular situations and not know why. It could be that something that happened to you a long time ago is still causing difficulties.

About me In life, we all face challenges and need someone to support as we go through these difficult times. We may need support for a short time or perhaps longer. I am a qualified integrative counselor which means that I bring a combined approach to our sessions with the thought that there are time when using only one approach, may not meets the client’s need. Drawing on different approaches and styles without comprising the quality of the work or relationship and keeping with the goal of bringing resolution to the client and the situation or challenge they are faced with.

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.

Life at its best is not easy, and every day can bring worries never imagined before. All these influences can make you inclined to hang your head and give up, as almost everyone has experienced at some point or another in their lives. I am genuinely interested in helping individuals reach their highest potential. Sometimes the greatest regrets come from not doing what we know we should have been as we watch time go by. My focus as a therapist is to help you understand yourself to identify dysfunctional areas and to help bring about self-awareness of your mind to foster positivity which will help you attain self-fulfillment.
