Women's Issues Counselling in South London, London

I am fascinated by how psychotherapy can transform our lives. I learn anew from each client and focus on any issue they bring. I have particular expertise in working with the ever-shifting landscape of sexuality, gender, identity and orientation. I am published worldwide on these issues. I have worked for decades in a multicultural area and also in projects based around women's issues and class.

I provide a warm and non-judgemental space for people in times of crisis or if they just need a quiet place to talk through what's bothering them. I regularly help clients deal with issues such as anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, grief, family problems, financial worries, relationship issues, women's issues, trauma and work problems.

My training is in Gestalt psychotherapy which is a humanistic, person-centred, and holistic therapeutic approach. I am currently completing my 4th year of Gestalt psychotherapy training at the Metanoia Institute in London. My aim is to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, beliefs and values. This gives you the opportunity to identify the choices, patterns of behaviour and obstacles that are preventing you from reaching your full potential. I will engage with you in an honest, respectful and vibrant way. I try to meet you from one human being to another, rather than treat or analyse you in the medical sense.

You are not broken. You may be experiencing emotional injury, and/or psychological distress, but this does not communicate brokenness. On the contrary, this communicates an emotional BUILD. You might be struggling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, women's issues, trauma, grief, loss, low self-esteem, low self-worth, etc. It may even be likely that you have learned how to live in a way that attempts to guard you from any additional emotional injuries. Essentially, your life experiential may have taught you how to build a wall of emotional defense, but that is not your truest self

I feel passionate about helping other women thrive. So, I typically work with women, who are looking to effect change in their lives. Over the years, I have worked with thousands of women, who felt stuck, with little or no control over their personal or professional lives. They reported feeling hopeless, frustrated, and tired of the status quo. Some, saw their identity no longer aligning to their values, or their purpose threatened by the natural order of things like children leaving, unworkable relationships, loss of loved ones, stress at work, or hormonal changes and even traumatic experiences that left them wondering...What Next?

My clients' goal is to design the life they love. They are typically internationally mobile people who are facing challenges related to significant change – moving between different countries/cultures, change in their relationship status or professional roles. They might be going through challenging times in life and facing difficult choices: infidelity, separation, empty nest syndrome. We work in their first or second language - English, Russian or Bulgarian. And even if I don’t speak your native tongue, as someone who is multilingual, I understand the challenges and gifts that come with bilingualism and multilingualism.

People who have been in recovery from addiction, and young people who have found self-isolation and lockdowns from Covid-19 too much to manage. Even though everyone has stopped talking about Covid.

We can all get to a point in our lives where we realise that there is more to the life we are experiencing. One of the ways to shift into that new chapter is to find a space to explore the things that have been holding you back.

I believe we all have the power to choose who we want to be. There is only one person that we can change and that is ourself and I can help you as you embark on this journey of discovery and growth.
