Counselling in WC1B

We work with private clients who are looking to transition in life, want to address life issues that are getting in the way of happiness and success, or just want to know how they can be achieve greater fulfilment, happiness and succcess - going with the grain of their personality rather than, as is often the case, against it. Private clients can be sponsored by an organisation. Client groups: (1) Self (life happiness/success), (2) Parents (better bonds with children), (3) Graduates (jump-starting their career), (4) Couples (relationship harmony and conflict reduction), Organisations (employees & military retirement/discharges).

Seeking support can be a challenging step to take. I am here to help. As a chartered clinical psychologist registered with the Health & Care Professions Council, I am trained to provide individuals, couples, and groups with evidence-based psychological treatments for a range of difficulties that can affect general well-being and quality of life. You may struggle with low mood and anxiety, and may be affected by issues such as relationship problems, low self-esteem, loss and bereavement, trauma, sexual problems, or substance misuse. It is also common to experience a number of issues at once, making problems seem insurmountable.

Orri is an online and in person Specialist Treatment Service for individuals aged 16 and over who are looking for support with eating disorders and co-occurring conditions (such as depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, etc). We offer a programme package which includes a blend of daily group therapy, mealtime support, individual weekly therapy, dietetic support and occupational therapy support. We take a personalised, stepped approach to treatment so that every person’s programme is appropriate to their individual needs and evolves with them over time.

When things are troubling you and you're feeling anxious and stressed, talking with friends only goes so far. In their desire to help, they shower you with advice, try to cheer you up and distract you. But when distraction is no longer an option and you want or need to face what it is that is so troubling you, then I am here for you. I have been in private practice for over 20 years, as well as having worked in the NHS and Nightingale hospital, so have seen many people from teenagers to the elderly of different cultural backgrounds and sexual orientations. I can help you explore & understand yourself in a new and constructive way.

Welcome to my profile. Taking the first step to ask for help can often be the most difficult. You may enter therapy having specific goals or simply looking for a space to talk. I am confident that together we can find the therapy style that works best for you.  My sessions look different for each individual in my consulting room, tailored to them specifically. My approach is warm and compassionate, grounded in evidence and oriented towardschange. I will start with getting to know you and then we can work together towards identifying the focus of our work. If I am not available to see you, I ll try to recommend a trusted colleague.

I am a Highly Specialist Child and Adolescent Psychotherapist, with 14 years of experience working in NHS CAMHS settings and both mainstream and specialist schools. I treat a broad range of emotional, behavioural and relational difficulties and focus on uncovering and understanding the thoughts and feelings underlying any difficulties. I work with infants, young children, adolescents and young adults (up to 25), as well as parents, carers and families.

Therapy is a very special kind of conversation. It provides an opportunity to make sense of how we got to this point (at times, despite our best efforts), and in doing so can help to make sense of what would otherwise feel like a difficult, challenging, and confusing reality. By helping to "make sense", therapy provides emotional relief and supports us in the process of learning new ways of being in the world. Some people seek therapy to address specific problems, and others when life just doesn't feel quite right. It can also be an opportunity for personal development.

Are you struggling or finding life difficult at the moment? Do you feel alone in what you are experiencing? Therapy with me involves being on your side, helping you to voice what is going on for you, with empathy and understanding, and find a way through, so that you can live a more fulfilled life. I believe it is in our struggles where we can grow, and discover our hidden qualities and potential.

I am a BACP accredited counsellor/psychotherapist with a London practice in the heart of the City (EC1), and ongoing experience of working in a variety of NHS settings. I have experience of working with individuals from a wide diversity of backgrounds and areas of difficulty with particular expertise in eating difficulties and disorders.

Hello and a warm welcome, I believe our emotional well-being is the key to living a fulfilling life and that we are beyond our struggles so that when life throws up its inevitable challenges, it is how we deal with these, there is always a way forward. My underpinning belief is that having a different experience of life is available to all of us and that our present day issues have origins in the past and so unravelling the threads of our mis-learning about ourselves and the world can help us to live more comfortably and happily in the present.

With a range of clinical skills including EMDR alongside a long-standing experience in working with adults suffering from a range of trauma-related psychological difficulties, I can help you overcome the complex and debilitating impact of trauma. If you have intense feelings of anxiety or fear; struggle with bereavement and loss or have complicated grief reactions, have symptoms of PTSD or have experienced early life trauma safely designed EMDR can be transformative. There is evidence that EMDR also helps prevent the development of PTSD if you have experienced a recent traumatic event or you are struggling with ongoing stress.

I offer online and face to face one-to-one 50 minutes counselling and therapy sessions for adults in English, French and German. Please get in touch for a complimentary trial session.
