Counselling in Holland Park, London
As a high achiever you are used to success. You work hard, you enjoy work and you have meaningful relationships, but something is missing. You've tried all manner of ways to fill this gap - working more, working harder, prioritising your personal life, your health, your relationships - but it never quite fits. You wonder how you can achieve at work, but not in other areas of your life? Will it always be this exhausting? What if you could ditch the hustle and find a different way to show up in your life, your work, your relationships?

Even though you have what might seem like "a good life," you may still feel a deep sense of emptiness and struggle with overwhelming anxiety and difficult emotions. At times, it might be hard to even identify what you're feeling. These challenges could stem from a difficult childhood, particularly in your relationships with your parents or siblings, affecting how you connect with others today. We refer to these experiences as attachment trauma or childhood emotional neglect. However, these patterns don’t have to define your future; healing and change are possible.

I provide individual and couple counselling on intimate, family and work relationships. Anxiety, low mood and addiction almost always have a relational dimension. For more information, please visit my website. I trained with Relate and have an MA with Distinction in Relationship Therapy. Before training as a therapist I worked in change management in international corporations. I know the stresses of the workplace. My approach is tailored individually to each person I work with. I have no rules about the number of sessions we spend together. Sometimes only a few can be transformational.

While you may be seeking therapy to help you out of a dark or difficult time- due to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, crisis of meaning, insomnia... therapy can be a powerful gift. We learn a great deal about ourselves and others- ultimately about living life with more ease and enjoyment. We'll get curious about what you learnt growing up: your world-view, your assumptions and even your bodily responses to situations that you face today. We'll see what has worked for you and what causes pain or limits you- to unblock and clear the path forward with compassion, kindness, insight, and even at times, a sense of humour.

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.

My therapy is about the relationship, the safety and the quality of the bond that is created between us. That’s where the magic happens and the opportunity for change can occur. My clients can then build insight and clarity over positive and negative feelings, beliefs, motivations, thoughts, behaviours past, present and future. I support clients who are seeking support and understanding in transforming their lives to feel better regulated, authentic and able to make positive decisions.

Are you struggling to feel happy in yourself, and feel like everything you try to make yourself feel better isn’t working? Perhaps things you do may be causing distance between your friends and family yet you don’t know how to stop. Your work life, food and exercise routines may feel out of control, or that they’re running your life. All this can leave you feeling isolated, alone and grasping for unattainable goals. On the outside, things may look OK but inside you feel empty, with no sense of who you are and who you want to be.

Developing understanding and change through therapy maybe feels scary, or exciting, or both. I have years of experience supporting adults at all different points in life to tap into their courage and grow. I take a curious, explorative and active approach, using evidence based therapies such a EMDR and compassion focused therapy (CFT).
