By exploring the psychodynamics of our inner world, developing our self-awareness and illuminating blind spots, we become increasingly able to identify our full range options in relationships and better at making choices that are genuinely right for us.
I am an understanding and caring psychodynamic counsellor with over ten years' experience. I offer a confidential, safe and non-judgemental space where your thoughts and feelings can be brought, shared and explored. I can work with a wide range of client issues that include: low self-esteem, relationship problems, addictions, anxiety, depression and a sense of detachment/loneliness. I am a registered member of the BPC and BACP and I provide open-ended online counselling. Additionally, I have practised as a pharmacist in the community for many years. I offer a free 15 minute introductory call for enquiries.

I believe, for therapy to be successful, it is not about providing a “quick fix”, but about working together to further our understanding of how you perceive the problem and what might be maintaining the issue.
I offer therapy to those who may be experiencing emotional difficulties and who need some time and space to work through these challenges in order to find a way forward. I work with parents, adolescents, children and adults. My experience includes most recently working at Barnet CAMHS, together with adult NHS settings, schools and organisations. My work is informed through the use of CBT, psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. Working collaboratively, I offer a warm, empathic approach in order to develop goals and strategies that may be most beneficial and effective to suit your needs.

I am mindful of the social and cultural issues and differences that affect our individual difficulties and work in a trauma-informed way.
I'm an integrative psychotherapist with 8 years experience in the NHS and privately. I draw on different approaches, though mainly I work in an embodied and relational way. Embodied as most of our emotions and life stories are stored in our bodies and relational as I believe that as we get hurt in relationship, we also heal in relationship. I work in a non pathologising way so I won't try to fix you or treat you like you're broken. Whether you’re in crisis, feel like something's missing or simply want to enjoy a better quality of life, I aim to work with you so that you can come to better ways of understanding, being and relating.

I offer a trustworthy, open, safe, and non-judgemental space in which to explore your thoughts and feelings.
Everybody is different and special, but has in common the need to be heard, recognised, valued and understood. As a fully qualified BACP registered person-centred counsellor trained at the Metanoia Institute those four things are at the heart of my practice. Whatever your worry, concern, or difficulty, sharing what is on your mind and in your heart in a safe space is the start of healing and self-acceptance.

Reaching out for counselling support can feel daunting but beginning therapy is the first step to improved well-being.
I'm an integrative counsellor working both online and in-person with individuals. In addition to helping my clients with various mental and emotional challenges, I have a special interest in working with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and relationship issues. You may be experiencing relationship problems - with a partner, family and friends or colleagues and wondering why particular patterns keep occurring. Perhaps you are struggling with low self-worth, or that negative voice within you has become so loud that you are finding it difficult to relate to others and the world around you.
