I view therapy as a journey of healing, growth and discovery. Alongside my private practice, I work as a Clinical Psychologist and researcher in the NHS and academia, where I study the influence of trauma in childhood on adult mental health. I have training in different therapy models, and offer integrative therapy to adults, adolescents and children/parents of younger children. I am influenced by psychodynamic models of thinking, but also draw from systemic family therapy and CBT (in particular “third wave”, which connects how we think to how we feel and our relationship to our inner experiences).

You might be struggling with difficult feelings like anxiety or depression, a painful loss, relationship issues or unhelpful behaviour patterns and need some support understanding what is going on for you. Clients who have difficulty navigating the world typically have not had sufficient recognition from important relationships which is the first step towards experiencing change & feeling better. Underlying my training and work is a commitment to diversity and inclusion and I encourage an environment where my clients can be themselves without feeling shame or embarrassment.

After several years of working in the legal sector, I decided to retrain as a Psychotherapist out of my passion to amplify and provide a safe space for the voices of others. I have several years of clinical experience in various reputable institutions, alongside experience as a Clinical Manager in a counselling organisation. As I work integratively with an intersectional and intercultural lens, I have understanding and lived experience of how systems and interpersonal oppression can affect wellbeing in many ways. I also am a qualified Clinical Supervisor for individuals and groups, incorporating this same lens for supervisees.

I provide long, medium and short term Counselling & Psychotherapy in a safe and confidential space.

You can approach me if you're unsure about anything personal and just want to talk to a therapist about it..

I believe that psychotherapy has the potential to get to the root of distress. Through a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship, we can come to understand ourselves better and live with more fulfilment, freedom and self-acceptance. Having been in therapy myself, I know first-hand that the process and effects can be profound. Part of this means looking at how experiences and relationships from earlier in your life are affecting things now. And part of this means learning to be with your present-day experience in a different way – becoming more mindful and curious about your emotions, your mind and your body.

Hello, I'm Charlene. I'm an experienced counsellor offering sessions in-person or online to adults. I don’t know about you, but I think it takes a lot of courage to admit to ourselves that we need a bit of support. As we go about our daily lives getting through the best we can, we may notice ourselves struggling to keep our head above water, or feelings of anxiety and depression emerge. You may be dealing with relationship difficulties or unhelpful life patterns. Perhaps you’re feeling lost and wondering ‘how did I get here?’ This can be an unsettling place to be. I hope to support you in whatever situation you find yourself in.

Life itself is complex and through no fault of our own brings up many challenges that can lead to worry, anxiety, self-criticism, stress and low-esteem to name a few. As a clinical psychologist, I am flexible in my approach and work with a range of difficulties. I strongly believe therapy can be such a rewarding experience and the importance of creating a safe space in offering a non-judgemental and compassionate place for a person to feel heard and understood as we work together towards what is important to you. As such, issues relating to past or present, it is a space to create self-awareness and further move towards your values.

I offer a psychoanalytic approach which endeavours to recognise how recurring patterns in relationships have been effected by the past and earlier experiences. A current traumatic experience or distressing situation may be a reminder of an early hurt. From childhood, foundations for relationships are set in place and provide a template for what lies ahead. Dependent on these secure/insecure early foundations, we form strategies to cope with unpredictable or unpalatable feelings. It may be that circumstances arise which cause us to reach for unhelpful strategies only serving to hurt us more.

You may be experiencing feelings which are leaving you distressed and confused. You may be feeling anxious or alone - unsure of where to turn or who can be there beside you. Coming for counselling may initially feel daunting, however it is a courageous step forward in enabling a time of self reflection. It is important that you feel that the space I offer is a space where you can speak openly and freely, and that the warmth, empathy and non-judgemental space will enable you to feel listened to in a unique way where you feel able to express your emotions, empowering you to understand any negative feelings you may be experiencing.

You may be stuck with difficult relationships, or work-related issues, or struggling to cope with the loss of someone or even something important to you. You want to move on. It may be difficult to know what you want exactly, but you know that something needs to change.

Anxiety, Depression and Stress might be impacting your wellbeing and happiness and you would like to feel able to better manage your emotions. You might be experiencing low self-esteem, low self-worth or going through a difficult time like divorce, job-loss, bereavement, illness or a combination. Substance misuse could have ensued as a way of coping with stress or past traumatic experiences. Relationships might be impaired resulting in trust issues, conflict, infidelity. You might be experiencing sexuality issues like low sexual desire, E.D. or you might want to explore sexuality, kink, polyamorous and open relationships.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

You may feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or have a sense of dissatisfaction or unease. You might be experiencing social isolation, loneliness, or difficulties in your relationships. I believe human connection is now more important than ever. As an experienced, trained, and registered Person-Centred therapist, creating a warm and trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I offer a safe, empathic space where you feel heard, valued and understood. This can support you to develop more awareness, acceptance, and compassion for all aspects of yourself, leading to a more satisfying, meaningful and fulfilling life.

I offer a warm and non-judgmental space for you to explore whatever issues are present for you. I am particularly interested in how the body holds our life stories and how by paying attention to this in an intuitive and creative way, a different perspective may arise. Our work will include talking about any issues but also paying attention to sensation and slowing down to whatever is present for you. I am a senior trainee in Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy working in Hackney. In order to get a sense of one another and how we will work together, I offer an initial free 30 minute in-person consultation.

I believe that every individual has the capacity to live a nourishing life and deserves to feel fulfilled. However because of past or present experiences, as well as learnt behaviour, we can find ourselves stuck with unwanted feelings, desperately wishing that partners, parents, friends or situations were different. In these moments we can feel powerless and unable to speak our truth, so it is important to have an external guide, who can help us navigate through the storm and find our voice. I am committed to helping my clients reach a place of empowerment and well-being, by becoming the best versions of themselves that they can be.
