Counselling in Hackney, London

I am a Clinical Psychologist working in the NHS and private practice, and I am registered with the HCPC. I understand that reaching out to start therapy can be daunting, and so I aim to create a safe, compassionate space within which you can explore your concerns. I offer short and medium term therapy for a range of issues such as anxiety, panic, health anxiety, low mood, stress/burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and loss. I have specialised experience working with individuals with physical health difficulties, in terms of their relationships, identity, and adjustment.

I offer a warm and safe space to help with anxiety, panic attacks, or trauma issues you struggle to unravel on your own. Having a safe confidential space to feel heard can bring about great relief when experiencing relationship, family, or work stress issues. I can offer you empathy and kindness to process whatever is troubling you. I work by empowering you to make the changes you need to become happier and healthier in your life. And whatever that may look like for you I am here to work with you to explore your distress and help you with the insights and tools to feel better mentally and emotionally.

I am an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist offering individual therapy in Hackney. I am BACP accredited and provide both short-term and open-ended therapy. I offer a calm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space in which to explore, make connections, and get support with difficult feelings. I have experience with a wide range of issues and a particular focus on working with clients around issues of gender, sexuality and relationship diversity. I currently work in the NHS as a psychotherapist in Sexual Health and have also worked in university counseling and community services.

I’m not here to judge or offer advice. I’m here to listen and to help you navigate the changes you want to make in order to grow and move forward in your life. I can support you to consider how your past experiences inform you today and how they might impact your future. This allows the therapy to be a creative and collaborative process; I'm an advocate of no one-size-fits-all. I work ‘integratively’, which means that I integrate a wide range of therapeutic approaches. I adapt my approach to align with you and what you want to gain from therapy.

I am a Chartered Psychologist registered with the HCPC with over 30 years of experience. I have worked in private practice with over two thousand patients and supervised more than 100 therapists. I am separately qualified in various fields of applied Psychology including Clinical Psychology, Forensic Psychology, Counselling Psychology and Occupational Psychology. I now deliver all my counselling and therapy by the following methods: video conferencing; telephone sessions; real-time online chat; and email. I believe that matching the right therapy delivered by the right therapist to an individual is the key to therapeutic success.

At some point in life we experience the storms of life that impact our very being and our ability to function with daily life due to unexpected events or crisis. It can be difficult to express concerns, doubts, fears etc to manage what seems to be a rollercoaster period. It is sometimes difficult to manage or confront internal/external conflicts or to determine which path to take when in the midst of challenging life experiences. We worry about not being understood or accepted. It is for such reasons that I feel honoured to become a part of client' lives during moments of connecting to weather the storms together.

Do you find yourself prioritising the external world and the needs of those around you? Perhaps you feel different to others or misunderstood in relationships? It may be you experience self-doubt, negative thinking or notice yourself repeating patterns that impact your relationships. Whatever is going on for you working together, relationally we can begin to explore ‘YOU’, focus on raising your awareness & understanding of the way you experience yourself, to identify your goals for therapy, to be open to learning new ways of being. Therapy is a commitment between client & therapist, to be open to wanting things to be different.

My main aim as a therapist is to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment in which you as a client feel safe to explore and build trust. I offer a welcoming, confidential space for you to talk and explore any problems or challenges in your life that may be causing you to experience psychological and emotional pain in a safe setting at a pace that works for you. It doesn’t matter how problematic your life is or what form, or size the problems or challenges in your life take, if they are causing you to be unhappy then I can help you.

My clinical experience began in 1997, and since then I have worked with adults, children and families in various settings including the Italian Mental Health and Social Systems, NHS and the private sector. I have worked with people with a broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties such as depression, anxiety, panic disorder, health problems, isolation, childhood abuse, trauma, loss and past and present relationship problems. I am able to offer both short and long-term counselling and psychotherapy, taking into account the nature of clients' concerns and needs. PLEASE CONTACT ME BY EMAIL AND LEAVE YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER.

Are you tired of battling against chronic pain or illness every day? Maybe you feel that your life is being controlled by it. This could have led you to feel down or anxious or it may have affected your sleep. It can be hard for other people to understand your illness or pain, resulting in feeling isolated from friends and family. Maybe pain has stopped you from continuing with a hobby or keeping on top of the housework. In this position you may be wondering how you can live a valued and fulfilling life.

A therapist is someone you hang out with for an hour once a week. So pick someone you might actually look forward to hanging out with. That might be me if you like: metaphors from fantasy books and Pixar films, simple questions like 'Can it be both?', 'Is that OK?' and 'What's going on for you?', and being challenged to accept yourself as you are. Like all good therapists, I try to offer a safe space to feel painful emotions and express deep secrets. But I also think there's space for a joke and some laughter in there too.

My name is Jai and I’m a UKCP member psychotherapist. I run a private practice in Hackney and Islington, North East London and also work as a psychotherapist at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust. I offer a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space in which we can explore your needs and concerns. I work holistically and creatively, placing the therapeutic relationship at the heart of my practice. We will work together to explore the causes of your difficulties, make sense of your experiences, identify your resources and move towards your desired goals. I believe that all behaviour is developed as a way to meet our needs.

You don't have to do this all by yourself! So many of us have been raised within a social system that drives us towards individualism. We have been made to feel that functioning as an adult is dependent on our ability to manage the pressures and difficulties of life by ourselves. As social creatures, trying to navigate big changes, significant losses and painful events alone is often excruciatingly isolating, and leaves us over burdened, anxious and low.

You may be turning to therapy with a specific issue in mind; feelings of loss, loneliness, anxiety or shame. You may simply be experiencing a vague disenchantment with your current situation. I am a warm and thoughtful integrative psychotherapist who aim to bring the appropriate mix of challenge and support to my work. I will work alongside you in a supportive atmosphere to help you find a new sense of clarity, enthusiasm and confidence in your life. Together we will look at your unhelpful or outdated patterns of behaviours to make way for renewed energy towards cherished long-term goals.
