Transgender Counselling in West London, London

Hello & Welcome! If you are looking for support with mental health issues or feelings of increased stress and frustration, I am here to help. Taking the step to seek professional help can be a big step to take, as it requires you to make some changes. By reaching out beyond your immediate circle, you have already shown great courage. It's important to find a qualified, skilled, experienced, and accredited practitioner. Equally important is finding someone you can connect with, who listens with genuine understanding and empathy. Based on my experience, these are the catalysts for change that I offer my clients.

I am a compassionate and approachable counselling psychotherapist, known for my deep empathy. With over 3 years of experience, my therapeutic practice offers a safe, supportive and confidential haven for self-exploration and growth. My approach is integrative, psychodynamic, relational, and person-centred. I specialise in working with trauma and its impact on our nervous systems, recognising the significance of an intercultural approach, particularly when working with Black and people of colour. My goal is to offer a diverse and culturally rich perspective to help you navigate life's challenges and achieve personal fulfilment.

Looking for an outsider's perspective? Wanting a change? When working together closely, in an open, honest and confidential setting, we can access parts of your past, present and future to break old beliefs and thought patterns. Among all the new perspectives therapy has to offer, learning coping strategies to help you function in everyday life is something concrete you can take away.

Whether you are coming to therapy for the first time or seeking a new way of looking at things, your reason for coming to therapy is unique to you. I aim to work collaboratively with you to discover meaning of current distress or patterns of behaviour which you may be finding difficult, through its association with past relationships and experiences. My goal is to help you feel like a more confident, authentic version of yourself who will be better equipped to deal with difficult feelings in the future.

Embarking on counselling may feel overwhelming, but you're not alone—I'm here to guide and support you. Together, we'll develop strategies to empower you in facing challenges, building coping mechanisms, and achieving growth. Whether your journey is short or long-term, my commitment is to your wellbeing. Each path is unique, and your journey is exclusively yours. I'll walk beside you, offering guidance and support as you navigate this transformative process. You can overcome challenges and embrace positive change. I provide an environment that's secure, confidential, and judgment-free, prioritising your privacy and peace.

As a family and couples psychotherapist I believe that relationships, both past, present and future, are important resources for healing psychological difficulties and improving emotional health. I work with both individuals, couples and families to help people think through their connections and help to improve their lives.

Perhaps a recent event has brought up complicated feelings, or you live with anxiety, or relationships have been difficult for as long as you can remember.

My work helps clients understand how their experiences (both past and present) and any unconscious forces might be impacting their relationships and ways of coping with life. Psychodynamic therapy promotes greater self-awareness and a space for you to take each session in the direction you need to.
