Hello, I am a Counselling Psychologist and work with adults and children who are struggling to cope with different types of distress. This might be depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, OCD, addictions, bereavement, gender identity, trauma, relationship difficulties etc. Whatever difficulties you are having, we would begin with an assessment to learn more about what brings you to therapy, think about your goals for treatment and formulate a plan for which approach might be most helpful. It is also an opportunity for you to see if you feel we are the right fit.

If you need some support in your life journey, you can get in touch with me and we can navigate this process together. It may not always be possible to recognize the factors affecting our well-being and develop effective coping strategies. In times like these, getting professional support is the best step we can take for ourselves. If you think you are having difficulty with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship/family problems, and especially an eating disorder, and you realize this problem can no longer be solved on your own, you can contact me.

Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? Whether you are exhausted with your anxiety, feeling sad or you are experiencing relationship difficulties, counselling can help you process your thoughts and emotions and provide you with the chance to be truly heard. As a therapeutic counsellor I can support you by providing you with a safe confidential, non judgemental environment where we can work together and explore your inner thoughts and feelings. As I am a firm believer of "no one approach fits all" you can decide whether you want to focus on your present or venture into your past experiences for patterns and connections.

I view therapy as a collaborative enterprise between client and therapist, with the shared goal of gaining understanding and facilitating a process of acceptance or change. In recognising that we are all unique, each with our own beliefs, values and attitudes about ourselves, others, and the world, I believe that it is important to tailor therapy to the individual needs of my clients. I work with a range of psychological theories and approaches, including Existential-phenomenological therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement therapy, providing both short and longer-term therapy, where appropriate.

Navigating life can be challenging. If you long for change but are uncertain about how to move forward, therapy can help. In my role, I offer a warm and compassionate space allowing you to explore the underlying emotional dynamics and significance of your life experiences. The body plays a significant role in processing emotional pain and I’m here to support you in listening deeply to yourself, facilitating a connection between your thoughts and feelings to your physical experience.

We all face emotional difficulties at some point that stop us from enjoying life as much as we would like. Talking to friends and family can be helpful, but sometimes this isn't possible or doesn't feel enough. Whether you're finding things challenging, or you have a sense that you could be more connected with yourself and others in your life, counselling can offer a unique opportunity to explore whatever is troubling you, and can help by providing you with support and understanding.

Being human, it is only natural we are continuously faced with life's numerous challenges. Painful emotions, such as fear, sadness, grief, frustration, anger and many more show up in response to life's challenges and we have all been 'well-trained' to go for 'fixing' or 'controlling' these responses in the quickest way possible. Ironically, it is this urge to control such painful internal experiences, that often creates and in fact exacerbates our struggles! I am here to help you gain new skills to manage difficult internal experiences in a more helpful manner so you can start living your life more fully.

Therapy is an investment in yourself and your relationships. It can reveal aspects of yourself that you have taken for granted, for example, people-pleasing, self-criticism, overworking, over-rationalizing, dismissing your own needs or emotions. Such patterns of thinking and behaving emerge, because they serve us at different points of our lives. However, what might have served us in adolescence, does not necessarily serve us in adult relationships. My high-achieving clients are often motivated to explore what their specific 'autopilot' entails.

Hi, I'm Shane, a humanistic therapist in NW6. I am trained as a Person-centered / Pluralistic Counsellor / Psychotherapist and am a registered MBACP Counsellor & Psychotherapist. Finding a moment for yourself may be difficult, - glad to see you were able to arrive and that you’ve made it this far – I feel it’s such a brave move to reach out for help. As humans I feel we are able to find a strength and resilience which allows us to be the best versions of ourselves. This may mean asking for some guidance, in a warm safe space to explore what’s coming up for you. I'm here to hold whatever you share without judgement and with empathy
