Female Counselling in Primrose Hill, London

Perhaps you’re experiencing difficulties in past relationships. Maybe you lack confidence in social situations or generally finding it hard to cope with low self-esteem. Perhaps you are experiencing work-related stress or generalised anxiety, depression or panic attacks. It might be that you simply found yourself stuck in life and can’t find the way forward. Sometimes stressful life events can be so emotionally overwhelming, that we no longer wish to cope alone. I understand how overwhelming life can be at times.

Taking the first step by asking for help is a significant and courageous moment. I am an experienced qualified psychotherapist, for almost a decade I have conducted psychotherapy groups and offered psychodynamic therapy to individuals within the NHS. I am a registered BACP psychotherapist, a group work practitioner and an Associate Member of the Institute of Group Analysis.

I'm an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist, working in the NHS at the Maudsley hospital and I also offer individual psychodynamic therapy in my private practice in Primrose Hill, North London. I specialise in adult psychotherapy for issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, low self esteem, PTSD and loneliness. I generally offer open ended long term therapeutic work, designed to facilitate deep - seated characterological changes.

I am an experienced, MBACP registered Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I aim to support and guide my clients through the turbulent times in life and work together to find the path of resilience which leads to enhanced life skills, positive living, and success. I work integratively bringing together a number of modalities, Person Centred, CBT, Existential, Psychodynamics, and Gestalt practices, while working very much through a medium of empathy with my client. Some areas of specialism: trauma, depression, anxiety, bereavement, relationship issues, and gender-based violence, ADHD. I identify as complex neurodivergent.

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist who works with adult couples and individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I create a safe, non-judgemental space to listen and help you explore issues with empathy and compassion. My clinical framework is psychodynamic, meaning that I help clients consider how past experiences may relate to their current feelings, behaviour patterns and relationships, with the aim of uncovering the root cause of the problem. Our sessions will enable us to look together at your situation, paving the way for you to think about how things might be different.

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.

Do you find yourself getting easily overwhelmed? Perhaps you are tired of having a busy brain that overthinks, overanalyses, and critiques everything you do. Possibly you’ve been told you’re too sensitive, over-emotional or too caring. Unforeseen change and uncertainty may make you anxious and after periods of socialising, you need alone time to recharge. This might mean you feel different, or boring, leading you to think negatively about yourself. Perhaps you outwardly appear very “together” or successful but hide-away the fact that life seems harder for you than it does for others, leaving you feeling like an imposter.

Creative psychotherapy helps people think, feel and express themselves in a less guarded way. I see individuals, couples, children and families and run retreats in the south of France. I am based near Chiddingfold, Haselmere and Godalming. Through a more playful approach you are helped to feel more at ease. When facing problems it is often difficult to express ourselves in a solely verbal way as unconscious defences can inhibit real engagement with therapy and therefore can fall short of reflecting our true feelings. Psychotherapy has adapted by integrating techniques that draw on creativity.

We are told how important exercise is for our physical well-being, your mental health is no different. Mental health and physical health are interconnected. Stress, anxiety, and depression can manifest as physical symptoms. So, maintaining good mental health can positively influence physical health. Therapy changes lives and for that reason, if you are unhappy, stressed, and not sure what to do, you need to remember that life is short, and you deserve to live the life you want. Put yourself first and do what makes you happy! I will help you become your own therapist, providing you with healthy tools and support tailored for you.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile. I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor, with a diploma in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling, and a Registered Member of the BACP. I work in a very relational way with clients from all back grounds and with any issue they might need to bring. It's important to me that I can provide a safe space to be able to explore the past, present and future hopes, as well as what might be held unconsciously, through the mediums of dreams and imagery, bodily sensations and reflections. The aim is always to give the client the tools and understanding in order to live the life they want to the full.
