Life has a tendency to throw major challenges at us without warning. You may find yourself dealing with a specific life changing circumstance such as a new diagnosis, bereavement, traumatic experiences, relationship difficulties or redundancy to name a few. Sometimes being able to pin point feelings can be a little difficult. You may be experiencing feelings of being stuck and are anxious, depressed or just unsure of how you currently feel about your life or a certain situation.

We all go through times in our life where we may struggle.

As a BACP registered psychodynamic psychotherapist/counsellor, I have experience of working with adults whose issues include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, gender identity, addiction, bereavement, eating disorders and relationship issues I can work with you on either a long-term, ongoing basis or we can agree to a short-term contract.
If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re feeling out of sorts and would like some help and support to feel better. Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball that leaves us feeling overwhelmed or maybe you’ve had enough of feeling depressed and anxious, angry or sad. Perhaps you’re tired of repeating certain patterns of behaviour or relationships that leave you feeling empty and disappointed. I recognise it takes a lot of courage to seek help. My role is to help you understand better why you sometimes feel, think, or behave the way you do. With that knowledge in hand, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

I combine an empathetic supportive approach, humanistic methods and solid clinical experience and offer a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients to explore, understand and process their loss, emotional struggles and major life changes to be able to start adjusting to their changed life.
Life can become overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to manage. Experiences such as loss, bereavement and major life changes like a medical crisis can make us lose our sense of self and purpose. Depression, anxiety and personality disorders can distort our sense of self, rob us off our full personal potential and quality of life leaving us feeling depleted. Therapy is a place to regain and restore your sense of self and purpose and to help you turn these experiences to an opportunity to grow.

I have worked for a service providing therapy for the LGBTQI+ community and for one specialising in providing grief & bereavement therapy.
Hi, I'm Shane, a humanistic therapist in NW6. I am trained as a Person-centered / Pluralistic Counsellor / Psychotherapist and am a registered MBACP Counsellor & Psychotherapist. Finding a moment for yourself may be difficult, - glad to see you were able to arrive and that you’ve made it this far – I feel it’s such a brave move to reach out for help. As humans I feel we are able to find a strength and resilience which allows us to be the best versions of ourselves. This may mean asking for some guidance, in a warm safe space to explore what’s coming up for you. I'm here to hold whatever you share without judgement and with empathy

I have worked with a wide range of issues such as addictions, mens issues, bereavement, relationships, abuse, depression and racial/cultural identity.
Hello there and welcome to my profile. Clients are always welcome to bring any issue to therapy, no matter how big or small they may feel it is and would like support with their issue. They have a desire for change. They've come to therapy because they would like to explore, understand themselves better, their issue and the emotions surrounding it. To process what is or has happened. To make a real lasting impact. I offer a competitive rate because I truly believe that therapy should be as accessible as possible.

I am informed by my professional learning as integrative counsellor, as well as my values and lived experience of bereavement, loss, migration, and single parenting.
Feeling anxious, stuck or overwhelmed can be a lonely and confusing place. Often, we fear being a burden or being judged - an inside voice saying 'my problems aren't big enough' or 'others have it worse'. As the result, difficult emotions we bottle up surface as anxiety, depression, inability to sleep or crying for no reason. When we are properly supported through therapy, this can bring greater understanding and change of perspective. It also brings about healthier coping skills that lead to improved relationships and greater control over our feelings and actions, creating a more fulfilled and meaningful life.

I have expertise in issues such as: depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, neurodivergence including ADHD and Autism, bereavement and loss, eating disorders and negative thoughts/ behaviours.
I see therapy as a team work to go on an adventure: step into the unknown of your being! My approach is Holistic and Integrative. Holistic means that we work with different layers of your being: your physical, mental, emotional and energetical bodies. If you’re open to, we will work with breath, mindfulness, chakras, energy blocks and dreams. I have seen over and over that the process of healing is quicker when we both go beyond our minds and work with all of us. Working Integratively means that I have a tool box of different approaches and I use the one which is suitable to you at the right time.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.

As a BACP registered counsellor/psychotherapist I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-esteem, issues from childhood, challenges with relationships, and bereavement and depression.
We all face emotional difficulties at some point that stop us from enjoying life as much as we would like. Talking to friends and family can be helpful, but sometimes this isn't possible or doesn't feel enough. Whether you're finding things challenging, or you have a sense that you could be more connected with yourself and others in your life, counselling can offer a unique opportunity to explore whatever is troubling you, and can help by providing you with support and understanding.

How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
