Sexual Abuse Counselling in West End, London

I am a chartered psychologist with over 16 years of clinical experience. I treat a wide variety of psychological difficulties ranging from unease and lack of vitality to protracted suffering and diagnosable conditions. I have a particular interest in emotional development disruptions which give rise to disorders of the self, contributing to depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship and sexual difficulties, somatic problems, and personality disorders.

My approach is psychoanalytic, with an emphasis on the meaningful relationship between the patient and the analyst, who curiously engage with the painful problem, symptom, or difficult behaviour. Both client and therapist work together to make valuable improvements to the client’s emotional world, within a stable, consistent setting.

I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist based in London, with experience in a wide variety of settings, including the NHS, third sector, and private organisations.

I work from an integrative perspective, and thus adapt my work to the experiences and needs of each client. I have a special interest in critical approaches to mental health; linguistically sensitive services; and working with different forms of expression, including through the body, with objects, music, or art.

Working together in a way that is comfortable for you, I offer a safe, compassionate and non judgmental space, that allows you to give yourself the permission to explore your feelings.
