Hello
Welcome to my website.
I’m a UKCP and BACP registered Integrative psychotherapist with over 14 years experience and I'm based in central London, I offer face to face and online counselling and psychotherapy sessions.
Sometimes life events can leave us feeling lost, confused, angry, isolated, perhaps weak and sometimes simply deeply sad. They may lead to questioning of our lives and even who we are as individuals. Speaking with friends and family is often useful and may be all that's needed, most of the time , but sometimes that might not be so easy. This is when meeting with a professional psychotherapist or counsellor - someone from outside your family and social group - can help by bringing a fresh perspective and insight to whatever is troubling you, whether something recent has been upsetting or you've been worried or unhappy for some time.
As an integrative psychotherapist I tailor my work in response to each individual, their personality and needs. In addition to talking about your present difficulties, we explore how past events and experiences, particularly from childhood, have shaped you and may continue to impact your behaviours today, often in unseen and unhelpful ways (e.g. repetitive thought patterns, difficulty trusting others). Becoming aware of these past influences brings the opportunity for change. Central to my approach is the belief that self-awareness is key to well-being.
Working in a collaborative way, I offer a safe space where you can speak in confidence, will be listened to without judgment and taken seriously. I’ll encourage you to slow down, pause...reflect on your life... and approach yourself with curiosity and compassion, not self criticism (which so often derails understanding ourselves better). I think we all have far more inner resources than we realise and the experience of being listened to and understood can help us tap into those hidden strengths, enabling us to find our best path ahead.
Over the last 14 years I've had the opportunity to work with people of all ages, from many different backgrounds and cultures. My experience includes working with issues such as trauma, anxiety, depression, bereavements and loss, family or relationship difficulties, long term illness, life transitions, infertility.
I'm a UKCP Registered Integrative psychotherapist (MUKCP), a Registered member of BACP and a Graduate member of the British Psychological Society (mBPS). See About Me.
