Counselling in N16
We can all face difficulties in our lives and sometimes it’s helpful to talk things through in a safe, warm and accepting environment. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, loss, relationship issues, life transitions or other challenges, we can work together to gain insight into the difficulties you are facing and your responses to them. Insight can facilitate change. When we are stuck in the past it robs us of the richness of the present moment and limits who we can be. Together we can move towards healing and self discovery and explore what's preventing you from living a more free and fulfilling life.

Feeling depressed, anxious and unworthy; suffering loss, bereavement, relationship issues, or just wanting to make sense of the world and know yourself better? Counselling can help. As a psychotherapist my main concern is to provide you with an environment where you fell feel safe and accepted. A place where you can speak freely and reflect without be judged regardless of who you are. A safe place where you can grow and blossom - I will not offer advice, but will offer a response appropriate to the material you have shared, perhaps offering a new perspective. Finding the right counsellor is a very important step in a person’s life.

I help creatives and professionals struggling with career and self-esteem related issues. Low confidence, imposter syndrome or self-sabotage, for example, can manifest in behaviours such as workaholism and burnout or conversely procrastination and under-achievement. I’m familiar with these issues helping clients work through and overcome them.

As you read this profile, you are probably feeling ‘stuck’ in some way –maybe overwhelmed by grief, painful events, relationship breakdowns or difficult life choices. I believe this is when therapy can help. It gives you (and your partner, in the case of couple therapy) a safe, non-judgemental space to explore both the challenges you are facing and parts of yourself that even you might not feel very familiar with. From this, you can gain useful insights that will allow you to arrive at a point of clarity around your situation and the choices you may need to make to proceed in life.

I am a CBT therapist with over 15 years experience working in the NHS. If you are struggling emotionally or finding it hard to cope with various parts of your life, I can work with you to help you make sense of what is going on and understand how it is impacting on your life. We can look at what is keeping the problem going and what can be changed or managed differently. Sometimes it's helpful to think about how the problem started and life experiences that are significant to it. CBT tends to focus on the here and now, but can also involve re-examining past experiences e.g. to help process trauma or alter long held beliefs.

I view therapy as a journey of healing, growth and discovery. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Clinical Psychologist and researcher in the NHS and academia, where I study the influence of trauma in childhood on adult mental health. I have training in different therapy models, and offer integrative therapy to adults, adolescents and children/parents of younger children. I am influenced by psychodynamic models of thinking, but also draw from systemic family therapy and CBT (in particular “third wave”, which connects how we think to how we feel and our relationship to our inner experiences).

I am an experienced systemic psychotherapist who is passionate about helping individuals, couples and families to make positive and long-term changes in their lives and relationships. Some key issues I specialise in include: improving the safety/quality of relationships (ie. trust, communication, intimacy); improving mental wellbeing (ie. stress, anxiety, depression); recovery from trauma/abuse; parenting/family issues; grief/loss; impact of oppression related to racism, sexism, or gender identity). Whatever your dilemmas, you will be treated with respect, warmth, compassion, and curiosity, as we co-create the changes you desire.

I began as an anthropologist, seeking to understand other people's cultures from their own perspectives. Then my desire changed to facilitating direct positive shifts in other people's lives; lives spoilt by trauma, depression, anxiety, abuse, persecuted sexuality and lack of life direction. My work is now with private clients across anxiety and mood problems - generalized anxiety, OCD, PTSD, psychosexual problems and depression. I also work in depth on relationship problems which often link with anxiety. In Islington Mind I worked with LGBT clients including asylum seekers persecuted for their sexuality.

I'm an open hearted therapist who believes in people and their capacity to overcome. I want to share the tools of EMDR whilst nurturing your individuality and creativity in the healing process. I will do my best to support you on your path to letting go of what burdens you and embracing what fulfils you. I have come to realise that nature and art in all its forms are great healers. Which might explain why I love dancing to music that makes my heart sing, being out in the elements when I can and to hang out with my cat when I'm not working. I have worked in mental health for 17 years mainly in the NHS with some work in charities

Whatever is worrying you, therapy can be a space like no other, where you will be genuinely listened to without judgement. It can lead to a lighter feeling, as that heaviness and tension on your shoulders recede. I will work with you at a comfortable pace, in a way that honours your uniqueness and worth. Together we can find the answers that are meaningful to you. I have found that these answers are often right in front of us, in the present moment. I can help you see yourself more clearly and value yourself more fully.

In my work as a Clinical Psychologist I help young people, parents and adults, who are struggling to manage their feelings and their relationships (e.g. at university, school or work). As a Psychotherapist I specialise working with young people and young adults who may feel stuck in their life, struggling to transition to the next stage of development. Therapy gives an opportunity to understand what dynamics have been at work for a long time time that are contributing to feelings of anxiety and low mood. At times, complex early experiences come to the surface, and these can be explored and processed within the safe space of therapy.

I trained as a Freudian psychoanalyst having worked in the mental health charity sector for some years. I like to work with a range of people, usually on a once weekly or more frequent basis. I work with people who are seeking to understand themselves better - their relationships with others as well as with themselves. I hope that I can help them make sense of difficulties or challenges in their lives in order to live more fully and creatively.
