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.

I am a registerd counsellor and my focus is on short term primary interventions that seek to alleviate emotional distress. I work from a solution focused approach, taking into consideration the uniqueness of each client as well as their needs.

Amidst these times of disruption of the world as we knew it, many are experiencing a deep sense of loss, uncertainty, fear for the future and a sense of hopelessness. Some have lost employment, others have lost friends and family through death, for most, the stability of everyday reality has changed dramatically. Consolidating these experiences, allowing the processes to evolve and find expression, in a holistic and meaningful way, can assist in lightening the load that is ours to carry. In adapting to change we are able to reimagine, see possibility and potential and embrace a new way of being that strengthens our resilience

An ideal client is someone who is willing to put in the work. Change cannot happen if the client doesn't work just as hard as the counsellor. They need to be committed and ready for a journey that might not always be easy, because growth can sometimes hurt. An ideal client is one that wants to better themselves, break unhealthy cycles, as well as find healthy ways to cope in all areas of their lives. They must be willing to become vulnerable, open and honest. Not for the sake of others - but for themselves.
