Counselling in Islington, London
A warm welcome. Life at times feels very overwhelming. Whatever the issue, I can help you to create a life that you want to live in and not want to escape from. When we feel vulnerable, we sometimes look externally to try to feel better, inappropriate relationships, compulsive behaviours, overeating, overspending, drinking and substance misuse, only to feeling further lost and confused. I can offer you the space and tools to listen to yourself and your needs, in order to develop confidence, clarity and a sense of control over your life. I can facilitate the journey of you becoming your own person.

I am passionate and committed to supporting people develop a better sense of compassionate awareness within relation to themselves. I believe within each of us lies the potential for healing and change, no matter what the circumstances or how deep or dark the depths of trauma and experience may be. Sometimes we need the support of someone who is familiar with the territory, to help us navigate our way through certain stages of life and to process past events that have caused pain and suffering, and that might be leading to difficulties in the present.

With over 10 years of experience working as a psychologist in the NHS I believe that therapy should be outcome focussed and should not last forever. You may already have a clear sense of what's wrong or what you want to discuss, or maybe you have a sense something isn't right and you want to work out what that is and what can be done. I specialise in working with mood difficulties (low mood, anxiety/worry and anger) as well as relationship issues often linked to mood problems

We all face different emotional challenges, especially at certain junctures in life – whether it’s through our private internal struggles or by finding ourselves persistently in conflict with the world around us. Troubling experiences, both past and present, tend to resonate within the psyche disrupting multiple areas of our lives beneath the surface. Even low-grade distress, when prolonged and unacknowledged, can have a cumulative and lasting negative impact that’s often very difficult to shake off.

I am a Psychodynamic Counsellor that works with Children and Young People from ages 3-18 As a Psychodynamic Counsellor I believe that unconscious processes guide our ways of relating to each other. At the centre of my practice is the child’s well-being and safety. I aim to create a safe space for children to feel able to be themselves without judgment, what Winnicott refers as the 'facilitating environment’, where the child’s inner world can be explored.
