Sexual Abuse Counselling in North London, London

Conducting over 4,800 sessions of therapy I have helped my clients explore a huge range of emotional, relational, sexual or traumatic material to try and make sense of what those experiences have meant for them, how they have impacted them, and what they want to do about them going forward. No subject is off limits, no feelings unwelcome, and no challenge too big or small to be worth exploring safely and gently.

Are you experiencing feelings of stress, anxiety, depression or low self-esteem and wondering why life feels difficult to manage? Are you feeling isolated and alone? Have you reached a crisis point or feeling stuck and not sure where to turn to? Counselling is a way for us to begin a journey of exploration. It can help us to express feelings and thoughts in a safe and non-judgemental environment that we may feel unable to share with others. Finding the right therapist for you can feel daunting at first but building trust with your counsellor can lead to effective change.

I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, as well as parental counselling. I am also available for clinical supervision for psychologists and psychotherapists. I currently work as a lead psychologist for an adult health psychology service in a NHS teaching hospital. In this role I offer specialised therapy to adults and young adults with a range of psychological difficulties that include depression, anxiety, impulsivity, psycho sexual difficulties, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

My philosophy and practice focuses on developing a stronger understanding of self in order to maximise true potential. I provide a safe and supportive space, where you are able to explore and understand your own feelings and emotions, empowering you to discover greater life satisfaction. I use a combined approach to psychotherapy, making it bespoke to your individual needs. I believe it is essential that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is built on empathy and trust, enabling the client to express and share their thoughts, within a confidential and non-judgmental environment.

I have the ability to really sit and think with adolescents and young people (up to the age of 25 years) and their families and consider their emotional experiences. They may be worried about life transitions, such as the next steps after leaving university or moving schools, or parental divorce. They may have social anxiety or had a traumatic experience. Rest assured that no worry is too big or too small to think about. Good emotional health starts with a safe place to talk.

You might be experiencing difficulties at work, in your relationships or in your relationship with yourself. You may be looking for a safe space to explore difficult thoughts and feelings, or significant events and experiences in your life. You perhaps are feeling ill at ease, or lost, not knowing who to turn to or what to do next. Psychotherapy can provide a helpful space in which to work this through.

As an integrative psychodynamic counselor, I provide a warm, non-judgmental, and compassionate space for you to work through any difficult thoughts, feelings, and events in your life. The integrative and psychodynamic model is a verified and established method of therapy for successfully healing mental and emotional distress. Within this framework, individuals gradually become more aware of aspects previously outside of their awareness. Opening up to talk about your past or the places in your life where you feel stuck can be difficult but, just by coming here, you’ve already taken the first step.

I think we sometimes come to therapy not knowing exactly what it is that's causing us pain. Maybe we feel fear, anger, confusion or just a sense of detachment from who we feel we used to be or could be; sometimes it is only symptoms (such as addictions, eating disorders, OCD) which we can identify. Past, unaddressed, trauma may be arsing or you might be experiencing family or work issues or, maybe, you’re in grief (from a death/relationship breakdown). Whatever your reason for wanting therapy I know that, ultimately, we want to feel better than we do right now.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of life, lost, lacking in confidence, anxious, confused or simply stuck and unsure of what to do? Maybe you're currently experiencing feelings you can’t name, but which have a profound effect on the quality of your life. Do you struggle in your relationships and notice a 'groundhog day' type of effect? Well, it's possible that your usual way of dealing with things just isn’t working for you anymore, and you are ready for change. This is where therapy offers a unique opportunity in helping you to overcome these obstacles whilst enabling you to explore difficult feelings in a safe space.

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.

Do you feel lost and disconnected from yourself and people around you and you do not know why? Have you lost a sense of purpose or hope, and feel you are lacking control over your own life? Are you repeating the same patterns in your life and find it difficult to change them? The idea of therapy can be daunting, and it can be scary to open up to someone, but you made the first step. I am here to work together with you, and go at your own pace. I provide a safe and non judgemental space offering empathy, creativity, integrity and compassion.

Deciding to start counselling can be daunting, but with me, you'll be safe. I'll walk with you on your journey of self-discovery! While you explore the tangle of emotions, thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing, I'll support you in the safe place, the therapy room. Together we'll carefully uncover underlying, hidden memories and patterns of behaviour, enabling you to understand the impact these have had and may still be having on your life. It's a bit like peeling the layers off an onion! You may laugh, cry and experience a plethora of other emotions, but you won't be alone, I'll be peeling your onion with you!

My primary focus is working with adults who have experienced trauma or loss. This includes victims of violence, those grieving significant losses, immigrants/refugees and people who've been diagnosed with frightening illnesses. I also specialize in clients who are traumatized in the course of their work, such as medical professionals, essential workers, and journalists. Clients tend to come to me feeling disconnected from their lives, from other people, and from who they used to be. They often say they feel out of control of their moods and feelings, and are looking to regain that sense of agency.
