Counselling in North West London, London

I am passionate about working with people of all ages to help them find healthy ways to deal with life's challenges. I believe we are complex human beings and reducing people to just one extent would be a rather shallow approach. Therefore, I try to approach every person holistically, using a wide range of methods.

I have a degree in Clinical Psychology and a PGDip in counselling & Psychotherapy, and over 17 years post qualification experience. As well as a private practice, I work at Edgware Community Hospital. I work with clients with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and loss. I also focus on cultural identity, as well as loneliness in big cities. My role is not to advise you, rather to work with you and support you to discover your own solutions. I'd like to help you achieve personal growth, self-awareness and development, through a better understanding of yourself, your thought processes, feelings, and behaviours.

Life can be a whole lot harder and more overwhelming than many like to admit, and reaching out for support is no easy task. So well done on getting this far- you don't have to struggle on your own anymore. The therapy I offer is an opportunity to share your truth and be seen, in the compassionate, non-judgemental space I hold for you each week. I will endeavour to be alongside you with whatever it is you need to share, whatever the emotional weather. Together we will begin to question old narratives that no longer serve you and look at how you operate in the world, in relationship and how you find meaning.

As a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and Life Coach, I can help address ways in which past unresolved traumatic experiences may be affecting your life now. It may be difficulties in how you feel about yourself, managing anxiety, forming healthy personal and work relationships, early attachment issues, and relationship with food.

Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Is life seeming like too much to cope with? Do you feel confused, find it difficult to know what you want or difficult to express your needs? Are your relationships troubling you rather than bringing you joy and satisfaction? Do you suffer from unexplained aches and pains or sometimes find it difficult to breathe? Do you sometimes wonder how you ended up in the life you're leading? Is this all there is? Does your own body seem alien to you? Uncomfortable? Do you find it hard to appreciate your body or do beneficial things like eating well or getting exercise. Body psychotherapy can help.

I believe in each person’s innate musicality (Trevarthen and Malloch 2000) and recognise each person’s musical and creative core. I believe we are all resilient and resourceful but that many forces in the world, including racism, sexism, colonialism, capitalism, and more, consistently try to disconnect us from our inner power and the power of our collective communities. I believe strongly in the capacity of music in therapy to restore this connection, empowering us to access our authentic musicality and creativity and our buried resilience. I am here to support your healing in the way that feels best for you.
