Everyone has times when things aren't going the way we might like. We can find ourselves anywhere from, a bit grey and unhappy, to, extremely dark and depressed, overwhelmed, stressed and spun out. Talking to someone can help. I work with individuals and couples and have a comfortable, safe and confidential practice in Dartmouth Park, North West London in between Tufnell Park and Archway N19 and work online from home in NW6. I take genuine interest in my clients, like to engage openly and talk in a straightforward way, developing a strong working relationship, showing empathy and building trust. I am also a counsellor at UCL.

It happens—sometimes life feels burdensome and overwhelming or just dull. We may feel stuck, anxious, or even that everything is fine but still lacking in meaning. We might face crises—whether it's an identity crisis, a mid-life crisis, or a crisis following a loss. Essentially, living with ourselves becomes difficult. We might end up developing coping strategies. While these strategies (such as addictions, workaholism, or compulsions) may initially offer relief, they often start to harm us over time. Sometimes it is just that 'life happens' and that feels hard . These are the times we turn to psychotherapy,

I am a qualified Person Centred Counsellor, offering telephone and online sessions. Counselling is the opportunity to sort your thoughts; gives you time to work out what you really feel, the space to consider your options, and decide what you feel is best for you. People come for different reasons, but all wish the same outcomes; to be heard, be understood, feel better and find ways to enjoy their life.

Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

Do you need someone to talk to? Do you need some emotional support, and help understanding what’s going on? There can be times when you feel overwhelmed and powerless, and now you’ve taken the decision to reach out for help. My priority is to make you feel safe and supported enough in the session to talk freely about whatever is bothering you, about whatever you’re feeling, and that can be quite a daunting prospect. Maybe you’ve never really had the opportunity to explain your innermost thoughts and feelings to someone who cares. You’ll find it liberating, and it will be the start of a major journey of healing and self-discovery.

I was a client myself twice in my life and I know first-hand how difficult it can be to take that step. However, I also know that therapy can be life-changing because growth can only happen when we push our boundaries and step outside our comfort zone. My role is to be with you as you set sail on this journey. Feelings like sadness, guilt, shame, anger, and anxiety are all too familiar to me and many others because this is where our humanity lies. My role is to help you name those feelings and find ways to navigate them and cope with them. I offer counselling in English, French or Arabic.

I guarantee to help you to get back on track, fast.

My work covers anxiety, trauma, ADHD, ASD, communication, assertiveness and relationships. You will receive a non- judgemental, confidential, collaborative safe space. Every person and experience throughout your life will affect you. How you process, respond and react will be normal for you, but may no longer be working or helpful. Distressing thoughts, relationships, emotions and sensations may linger or may lay hidden away. Our work together will clear the way for reflection, understanding and change, for a happier, healthier you.

Life is inevitably filled with many challenges and transitions and it’s not unusual to become overwhelmed. We can easily struggle with who we are and what we want from life. Maybe you're experiencing the breakdown of a relationship with a loved one, you’ve lost your job, just become a parent, received a diagnosis, started university, or maybe you’re just struggling with the idea of making a change in your life. Therapy can help you understand yourself better so that you can confidently adjust to change, set boundaries, navigate relationships, implement coping strategies & give yourself grace if you stumble.

I offer face-to-face psychotherapy services in Mayfair and Marylebone, Central London. People seek therapy for all sorts of reasons; perhaps they are struggling with anxiety, depressed feelings, difficulties in relationships, at work or with looking after themselves. Some might find themselves stuck in repeated patterns they want help to understand and change. There might be a clear issue they want help with or perhaps they are struggling to identify what they’re feeling and why. They may want to feel better about themselves or about life.

Sometimes people believe that their issue is not "worthy" of receiving the therapist's attention, but this is never the case. I am here to offer you a safe, calm, confidential, non-judgmental space, and listen to whatever you want to bring into therapy, no matter how serious or benign you might be finding it. Certain issues that you might want to address in therapy include: anxiety, depression, chronic illness and pain, family and/or relationship issues, academic and/or work pressures and stress, as well as cultural and identity issues.

Most of us go to school and get taught how to read and write and add up. We may learn how to play a few sports, pass exams and either get a job or get into university. But no one teaches us how to be in relationship. We have to learn that ourselves, and we do it, as children, by watching our parents or TV shows. Very often, our parents aren't that good at it, and characters in TV shows are there to make an interesting story, not a successful relationship. Is it any wonder that when we do find ourselves in relationship (which in reality is the most complicated thing any of us will ever attempt), things get difficult?

You are as diverse and unique as the issues that you may bring to counselling. You may be facing acute crises like a relationship breakdown or a sudden loss, or you might be dealing with long-standing issues such as anxiety, depression, or self-esteem problems. You might also be seeking counselling not because of a specific 'problem' but with the aim to better understand yourself, improve personal relationships, or enhance your overall quality of life. Whatever the reason, know that yours is as valid and as important as anyone else's and deserves to be heard and seen. Absolutely everyone is welcome, and that means everyone.

For the past eighteen years I’ve worked as a psychotherapist in both the public and private sector. This means not only am I experienced in working with colleagues and clients from a wide variety of social and cultural backgrounds, I have also helped clients through a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, trauma, abuse, bereavement, stress and low self-esteem.

The therapeutic process can help identify and understand what is happening in your inner world, in your relationships, your behavioural patterns and the difficulties in your experiences of the world. My approach is warm, supportive, open-minded and valuing. I believe that fundamentally we seek to know ourselves, to attune to our relationships, and to make sense of our story. These insights provide a foundation for a stronger sense of self, more fulfilling relationships, and an expanded perspective on life. Whilst therapy can provide symptomatic relief, my hope is that it will also bring you deeper awareness and sustainable progress.

I know from experience that looking for a therapist can feel daunting and overwhelming. People come to therapy for different reasons. You might be about feeling anxious, depressed, struggling with low self-esteem, experiencing relational difficulties or feeling stuck in life. You simply might wish to understand your feelings and behaviours better, in order to achieve greater pleasure and happiness. I am an Italian psychotherapist and group analyst working is private practice. My first degree was in art history, and then trained as a therapist at the Tavistock Clinic and the Institute of Group Analysis.
