Sexual Abuse Counselling in Fitzrovia, London

I will be glad to help with overcoming common everyday issues or more serious psychological problems.At that point of my practice there is no more rewarding feeling than seeing my clients getting their life back, or achieving their dreams.

Are you struggling with interpersonal issues or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself within a social context? If the answer is yes then perhaps its the time to commit to group therapy where you can explore yourself within the social relationships and dynamics of the group. By exploring yourself within a group, you can gain deep insights into your own psychological processes and develop healthier ways of relating to others.

I believe in creating a positive, supportive and safe environment where you, or your child, feels understood, valued and empowered to explore your psychology and behaviours. My approach to therapy is client-centred, collaborative, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. By utilising evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), health psychology, positive psychology and applied psychology, I help my clients develop coping skills, build resilience, and foster positive change whilst on the road to health, wellness, flourishing and growth.

Are you looking for someone to talk to but wonder what it will be like to tell someone you don't know about things that worry you and possibly cause you anxiety? Are you wondering about your relationships, about the dynamics, the love you feel or do not feel, trust and safety?I promise that within the safe and confidential boundaries of a therapeutic encounter I offer the opportunity to discuss and explore your feelings and help raise awareness of what it means to be 'you', both within relationships and on your own.

We live in a challenging world. There are times in our lives when we must endure pain, stress and loss whilst holding our business and personal lives together. Some people choose to work through their issues alone, perhaps considering reaching for help is as a sign of weakness. However, all healthy humans require personal connections. Talking with someone who has no relationship to your daily life, willing to listen and understand your concerns can help. I understand the pressures of difficult emotions and circumstances.

I am one of a small number of practitioners in the UK who is dually qualified as a chartered psychologist and a clinical sexologist/sex therapist. My clients may seek help for a specific sexual difficulty such as desire or arousal concerns; or may experience broader distress such as anxiety, low self esteem or perfectionism which also manifests in their sexual and relational world. My specialist interest in sexual difficulties emerged naturally from my interdisciplinary background of psychology and physiology.

Cognitive behavioural therapist and psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 7 years experience working in mental health services for the University of London - - I trained in two very different styles of therapy because people come to therapy for many reasons, and I wanted my work to embody the breadth of what therapy covers, from the evidence-based and goal-directed, to the creative and mysterious.

I am a dedicated psychotherapist and Counselling Psychologist in Training working with clients who experience a variety of personal challenges. These range from anxiety to low self-esteem, difficulties sleeping, feeling depressed, burnt out, or suicidal, finding it hard to focus or stay motivated at work, or looking for direction and purpose in their lives. Others may be facing conflict or doubts in their relationships, have experienced trauma or addiction, and feel cut off or on edge. Through therapy, they hope to gain a better understanding of themselves and others, improve their mental health and relationships, and find purpose.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling sessions time to time. We all need space to be heard, validated and feel safe to be able to tell our stories. Counselling with me can be that space. Over the years I have provided emotional support and guidance to the clients with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low mood as well as difficult childhood memories, PTSD, panic attacks etc. The main aim of the sessions is to give you opportunity to express your worries and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

I'm operating a Waiting List ONLY. We work within a structured integrative framework. You will describe and specify the areas you’d like to work on from your initial assessment. I will formalise a treatment plan, which will be communicated throughout, whilst sharing homework and other resources I see will enhance your progress. Our work is to understand who you are and to own your personal power enough to start leading and transforming your relationships with yourself and those around you. Working towards a goal can help with self-esteem and self-development as you can map and develop while seeing progress.

I aim for our sessions to be a collaborative space where you bring the expertise on yourself and your experience and I bring the psychological expertise and provide you with a sense of empowerment, understanding, knowledge and skills/tools you can take into your everyday life to improve your current functioning. I use a flexible approach to ensure we meet your individual needs and goals within sessions and I use an integration of approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy & Person-Centred Therapy (Talking Therapy).

Many people experience emotional difficulties at some point in their lives, triggered by a particular event, or as a result of deeper unidentified issues. Talking to a psychodynamic therapist, in a safe and confidential environment, provides a unique opportunity to identify the themes and patterns of thought and behaviour that can generate emotional distress,. This can involve talking through past experiences and understanding how they impact you today. The relationship with the therapist is important, as it provides an opportunity to examine ways of thinking and relating in the here and now as well as developmental factors.

I believe that each person is unique. Therefore, therapy needs to be tailored to the individual. Some people may prefer an open space for them to talk, taking the time to reflect on their experiences, whereas others may need something more structured, with the hope of learning effective coping strategies. Some may want a bit of both. There is not a one size fits all. I draw from evidence-based modalities of therapy, such as CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, and Person-Centered to create a therapeutic plan tailored to the client and their goals.

Do you feel stuck? Wish for more creativity and to use your full potential instead of feeling held back by your fears? I can support you to tap into your own creative flow and work through fears, negative thought patterns and feelings that might be keeping you stuck. We can learn and harvest the messages your patterns are ready to teach you together. Your difficulties do not have to be your way of life and they do not have to define you. You are worth so much more than your worries and I would love to join you in the journey towards resilience, looking after you and discovering who you really are and what you are capable of!

My goal is to enable a strong mental foundation where mindful skills will help you keep your life in reach. Progress means change, rehearsing new ways of thinking or a range of strategies to iterate development safely. The result, a genuine approach for you to always find a better way forward. I am HCPC-registered in clinical, counselling, health and occupational psychology. Supervisor, providing services for individuals, couples and organisations beginning from eclectic CBT interventions (ACT, DBT, ST) - the most effective and intuitive psychological framework.

If you're reading this it’s possible you are finding things difficult to cope with and would like to make more sense of the challenges you're facing. I know that trying to live with anxiety, depression, trauma, or complex relationships can feel overwhelming and it’s difficult to know how to keep going and where to start with getting help and support. I work a lot with clients who have had difficult past experiences which mean they struggle to trust and relate to others. By speaking to a professional who is experienced in helping people overcome these problems, you are giving yourself the best chance of making the changes you need.

I bring over 15 years' of experience in NHS and educational settings. I have knowledge of a range of mental health issues including mood conditions (such as depression), anxiety and stress, but also issues related to personal growth, relationships and belonging. I understand that deciding you would like to explore talking therapy is an important step and comes with a lot of questions, but perhaps two are key: 'will therapy be helpful?' and 'will my therapist understand me and make me feel at ease?'. It is important to me that therapy is a positive experience for you and you feel supported and helped throughout the process.

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.
