Narcissistic Personality (NPD) Counselling in East London, London

The breakdown of our current circumstances can leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and as if life is unmanageable. Relationship issues, bereavement, addiction, trauma, health concerns, OCD, depression, and work-related problems can all contribute to these feelings. Such painful moments in life may trigger an overwhelming response to past trauma and have an immediate impact on our lives, leaving us feeling isolated and misunderstood, with nowhere to turn. As an experienced counsellor/psychotherapist, I have worked with individuals from various backgrounds for over 20 years, providing a warm, empathetic space for in-person or onlin

I have been lucky enough in my career to date to work with some incredibly inspiring and brave individuals who have been at a crossroads in their life. Sometimes making change felt frightening or impossible due to past beliefs, stuck patterns of behaviour or limiting thought processes. Others were struggling to move on after devastation, illness, loss or identity crisis. I believe it is a privilege to be able to guide those in need at these times due to the courage and vulnerability they show. They are asking from the heart for a new beginning - to break from the past, not feel scared by the future and live truly in the present.

Reasons to seek out therapy are, much like ourselves, varied, nuanced and complex. A deeply empathic, attentive presence, warmth and trust for how you process things and what you decide to bring to our sessions, are at the heart of my practice. As a therapist, I provide a therapeutic relationship which, over time, creates a space in which deep healing can occur. I hope to help you see yourself and make meaning of your experience(s) in ways which were not available before. My work is therefore centred around attending to the whole person, with equal respect and worth for both content and process, both feeling and thinking.

Deciding to incorporate therapy into your life is a brave and empowering choice. Therapy aims to give purpose to your life, and you don’t have to do it alone; a dedicated and highly skilled therapist will support you. As your therapist, I will offer you a confidential space to explore what's pushing you down or holding you back in life. Together, we can identify what prevents you from developing and maintaining fruitful and enduring relationships. Being Accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) proves my commitment to working in accordance with the BACP’s Ethical Framework.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of life, lost, lacking in confidence, anxious, confused or simply stuck and unsure of what to do? Maybe you're currently experiencing feelings you can’t name, but which have a profound effect on the quality of your life. Do you struggle in your relationships and notice a 'groundhog day' type of effect? Well, it's possible that your usual way of dealing with things just isn’t working for you anymore, and you are ready for change. This is where therapy offers a unique opportunity in helping you to overcome these obstacles whilst enabling you to explore difficult feelings in a safe space.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression or loneliness? Or do you perhaps suffer from low self-esteem, and struggle to find purpose in life? Are your relationships fulfilling for you, or do you struggle to have meaningful and satisfying connections with others? Perhaps you've experienced loss of some kind, and are nursing a broken heart. Whatever it is, life sometimes has a way of throwing us challenges that can make us feel small or inadequate. The important thing is that you desire to take the first step on the path towards healing and self-discovery.

Whatever the difficulty, dilemma, challenge or sorrow; you already took the first step towards healing and change by finding your way here. Counselling can help to process, make sense of and move past your struggles in a meaningful and empowering way. My way of working involves building on the therapeutic relationship and trust with you, in aim to sensitively navigate through the labyrinth of experiences in your life and mind. I facilitate a non-judgmental environment to explore and validate your thoughts, feelings and emotions, and cultivate self-development/awareness towards the values that are in line with authentic self.

Are you feeling stuck in life or lost and do not know which way to turn? Maybe you are feeling hopeless or helpless and require some support? Do you isolate or surround yourself with others, and are feeling alone? Maybe you are on a healing journey or journey of self-discovery? Whatever it is that brings you to therapy at this time, it is likely that I can support you in some way.

‘The Journey’ is a small group of male Psychotherapists specialising in three areas: mental health challenges, relationship difficulties and career related issues. Working on a one-to-one basis, you will be able to talk privately within a safe, confidential space. Together, we will work through your current situation and what’s brought you to reaching out.

Psychoanalytic psychotherapy is a talking therapy based on saying whatever is going through your mind. It can help you with issues related to trauma, relationships, grief, depression, anxiety, or major life changes. It helps you become aware of hidden meanings or patterns in what you do or say that may contribute to your problems. Many people come into therapy because they feel they are trapped by their past & want to talk it through with someone & work through things on a deeper level. I aim to provide a safe, personal space where you can talk about yourself & what troubles you, to try to understand the connections & patterns.

I am a registered Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Practitioner Psychologist, and am on the British Psychological Society Register of Applied Psychology Practice Supervisors (RAPPS). I have been in Private Practice in Central London for nine years. Before spending ten years in full-time study and training in London universities and NHS Trusts to qualify as a psychologist, I spent a decade travelling, mainly around Asia, studying Eastern psychology and philosophy. Thus, I have a rich lens of psychological perspectives through which I understand and work with the mind. Psychoanalytic thinking underpins my approach to therapy.

Whether you are seeking therapy for a crisis situation, feel stuck or overwhelmed by a problem in your life – or simply find that life seems rather meaningless – I offer you a safe, objective and supportive space where you can express yourself without being judged. Through a relational and collaborative exploration of your thoughts, feelings and behaviours – and how you feel about the direction of your life – I can help you make sense of what is causing you distress and help you to develop more creative solutions and responses to living day-to-day.

It’s when you sense, or realise, that things can’t remain the same and yet you feel frozen, unable to act, and you don’t know what to do. A personal crisis might leave you feeling powerless and anxious. Then you find that the ways in which you generally deal with problems aren’t working: the people you’d usually turn to for support aren’t enough, they might be too involved with the issues you’re facing. You might also feel unwell. It’s not uncommon to feel anxious, depressed or emotionally fragile. This is when counselling can help. I offer Face to Face, Walk and Talk, Online and Telephone Counselling.

We all experience times of uncertainty, loss and change and I believe we all benefit from sharing our burdens with someone else, in a safe and non-judgemental way. I understand seeking psychological support can feel scary but my approach is open, warm and accepting. I work collaboratively with people, treating all information in the strictest confidence. My aim is to empower each person to develop their own skills, building resilience to manage difficulties, in the present and going forward.

I am an approachable, experienced and professional psychotherapist. I work in an integrative way to ensure I can meet the unique and individual needs of each client. I have extensive experience working with client’s who are experiencing a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties in a variety of settings. My areas of experience and expertise include; trauma (inc. PTSD, CPTSD, DID) depression, low mood, shame and low self worth, attachment and relational trauma, phobias, anxiety, dual diagnosis and all aspects of addictive behaviour including eating disorders.
