I am a Counselling Psychologist based in East London. I work with both adults and adolescents. I work with various presenting concerns such as depression, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, career guidance, adjustment to life transitions and grief. I utilize a therapeutic approach that focuses on early relationship dynamics where the impact of past wounds creates challenges within us and as a result, impacts our relationships with others. This approach to therapy, helps clients choose healthier behavioural responses. I view the counselling relationship as a partnership where two people work towards a goal.

Many individuals suffering from substance use disorders struggle for various reasons with traditional treatment. Some seek an alternative therapeutic approach to the traditional forms of abstinence based therapies when navigating the multifaceted issue of substance use disorders. An alternative therapeutic approach that "meets you where you are at" and looks at your experience holistically.

What type of mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist, psychologist, or counsellor, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
