My training is in Gestalt psychotherapy which is a humanistic, person-centred, and holistic therapeutic approach. I am currently completing my 4th year of Gestalt psychotherapy training at the Metanoia Institute in London. My aim is to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, beliefs and values. This gives you the opportunity to identify the choices, patterns of behaviour and obstacles that are preventing you from reaching your full potential. I will engage with you in an honest, respectful and vibrant way. I try to meet you from one human being to another, rather than treat or analyse you in the medical sense.

From time to time, virtually everyone will experience life events that cause significant distress. Such events may be of recent origin, or they may have occurred many years ago. Sometimes people can interpret events in ways that lead to greater suffering that necessary. In any of these circumstances, psychotherapy can help to alleviate the misery. Psychotherapy is the practice of helping people who feel troubled, by means of psychological methods. The best psychotherapy is motivated by compassion and utilises safe, effective and reliable techniques in a friendly, professional and co-operative setting.

Reaching out for therapy is a brave step but it can also be a daunting one. It can be hard to know where to turn to or who to trust. I understand this firsthand as I too sought therapy many years ago to help address my own battle with depression. Indeed it was this experience that ignited my passion for helping others struggling with their mental health and which led me to re-train as a therapist. I feel very privileged to be able to support people in their time of need and strive to do so by providing a non-judgemental, compassionate and collaborative space for talking.

I work integratively, my training was in existential psychotherapy. This means I believe that life is naturally going to present struggles and that we need to navigate our way through life's givens: loneliness, anxiety and death are all givens of our life. I believe that the goal of therapy is to create space to reflect and align oneself with one's values and understand our limitations. I believe that trauma has a lasting impact on our bodies and minds, and that through understanding the mind-body connection, healing can ultimately take place. I currently hold a post working in GP practices with the NHS.

Every person is unique, experiencing an individual journey that sometimes can become difficult to navigate. We can lose our way and the challenges and obstacles we face are hard to negotiate alone. Working with the right psychotherapist allows a client to understand the origin of how things can affect us and what possibilities lie in the here and now to facilitate positive emotional change. I work with individual adults from welcoming rooms in Chiswick and Kensington as well as online. I provide a secure, empathetic, non-judgemental space to reflect & explore experiences, feelings and behaviours from where personal growth can occur.

I am an Attachment Psychotherapist which means that I help you explore your past and present experiences that may have affected you in some way. Sometimes our experiences can leave us feeling insecure or lacking in confidence, making it difficult to form or sustain healthy relationships or cope with everyday life. Talking this through with a psychotherapist can help you to understand and value yourself more. It is not the job of a psychotherapist to tell you what to do but to offer you different perspectives and a different experience of relating.
