I focus on helping clients become empowered through self-awareness. Sometimes we need assistance to discover hidden parts of ourselves. We may want guidance to work out the underlying causes of the issues we are struggling with and to understand the meaning we give to our life events. I will assist you in exploring the motives behind behaviours, unhelpful thought patterns, and overwhelming feelings. Who would you be without the thoughts that upset you? Who would you be if you could feel free from the emotions and situations that weigh you down?

It can be daunting to start therapy. Opening up to someone and sharing your inner world takes a lot of courage. As an experienced and compassionate psychotherapist, I create a space free from judgement to empower you to talk about things that trouble you or cause you pain. I see therapy as a collaboration, I will be alongside you on this voyage of discovery as you learn more about who you are and who you can be.

I am an empathic, gentle and heart centred practitioner. I bring these qualities to my work as a psychotherapist and yoga teacher. As a trauma informed practitioner, I make great efforts to facilitate a place of safety, without judgement, where you can share your story and gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences. I strive towards a culturally responsive and racially conscious stance in my approach and consider this to involve my own ongoing personal work.

Hi, I’m an LGBTQ+ friendly registered counsellor with over ten years clinical experience. You may struggle with addiction, anxiety, relationship issues or shame. You may have a traumatic history. I am here to offer space to explore this with you. Maybe you don’t know what you want from therapy yet, but you know something isn’t sitting right and you want things to change. Are you needing somewhere it’s safe to connect to your feelings? I believe that connecting with our bodies and emotions is a key to lasting change.

I’m here to help you hear yourself. You might be feeling stuck in your relationships with others and/or with yourself. Perhaps difficult experiences from the past feel unfinished. Maybe you’re feeling weighed down by self-criticism. My first priority is to cultivate with you a therapy environment that feels safe and supportive so that, at a pace that feels comfortable for you, you can bring the concerns in your life that need our attention and care.

I am a UKCP-registered psychotherapist with several years of experience. I offer one-to-one long or short-term therapy for adults. My room is in Haggerston/Dalston, Hackney, East London or online. My approach is Person-Centred which means I hold the belief that deep down, you know what's best to achieve your own best outcome in any life problem. Therefore, I never claim to be an expert on your experience. I aim to create an accepting, non-judgemental, understanding environment that can give us the space to work through any issues safely, confidentially and at your pace. Working together, we can find ways to untangle your blocks.

I’m an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, I work with adults who experience anxiety, low mood or are dealing with traumatic experiences. I specialise in helping people going through a life transition such as: becoming new parents, receiving a life-changing health diagnosis, or career changes. Big life changes can be exciting, and thrilling – or leave us feeling anxious, not good enough, depressed or even ashamed. Life transitions can bring up much from our past and show the cracks in our coping mechanisms. They can throw us off track but also be an opportunity for change.

Psychological therapy involves exploring one’s life story, the current difficulties and their contexts, making sense of the difficulties together, identifying what you would like help and support with, defining individualised goals, applying specialist therapeutic interventions to help transform, heal and make change, with regular review of progress. Yoga Therapy is the science of applying yoga to overcome health difficulties, integrating mind, body, emotional and spiritual influences through breathing techniques, embodied movement, yoga postures, meditation, mindfulness-based approaches and lifestyle guidance.

Together we will work with whatever you bring to therapy. This may be an issue that is clear and well defined. You might want change in your relationship or in your work, or you may want support dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or shame, for example. But it might also be something much vaguer, it may be a general interest in exploring aspects of your life or way of relating to the world, or it might be a sense of confusion, stuckness, dissatisfaction or unfinished business.

Hello. I passionately believe that to achieve a successful outcome in counselling, a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship is essential. My approach is collaborative and client-centred to work with you to achieve your therapeutic goals. I primarily use a psychodynamic therapy model in my work. This approach differs from other psychotherapies as it focuses on making sense of your current difficulty and the feelings, thoughts and associated memories that may have brought you to your current situation.

Finding the right therapist is like trying to find the perfect puzzle piece for your life. It's not always easy, and I get that. I understand the struggle and the importance of connecting with someone who really "gets" you. Life can throw all sorts of curveballs, and talking about it with someone can be a game-changer. Picture me as a friendly guide on this journey – someone who listens without judgment, and is genuinely interested in your story.
