When difficult thoughts and emotions are suppressed, they often come out in other ways, either mentally or physically, or both. It is well known that there can be such a huge sense of relief when sharing something extremely distressing that may well have been bottled up inside for days, months, or even years. Counselling and psychotherapy provide an opportunity to talk in private about those difficult thoughts or feelings you might be having, in a way that might be difficult to do so with friends or family.

I work with individuals and couples, helping them find ways to live a more fulfilled and satisfying life. Over time, we develop ways of behaving, thinking and feeling that work well enough to get by, but sometimes get ‘stuck’; I’m trained and experienced in finding and understanding those patterns and, without judgement, getting to the heart of how to put things right. I’ve worked in private practice, charities and the NHS with a range of individual issues, particularly depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress and historical trauma; couples work includes relationship breakdown, affairs, communication and conflict challenges.

I'm an integrative therapist, which means I adapt my way of working to your goals. I see clients face to face in Surbiton (easily accessed from west London and Surrey) or remotely via Zoom. Working integratively as a therapist means that I will meet each client where they are and adapt my way of working to each individual’s needs and presentation, drawing on several therapeutic modalities. I provide a warm and non-judgemental space for my clients to explore what might stand in the way of effecting the changes they want to see in their lives, and I have a genuine desire to support my clients’ growth and well being.

When you know you can’t go on as you are, something needs to change. You might be feeling stuck in a relationship or a job which just isn’t working anymore. Maybe you’re faced with a big life transition and feel lost and uncertain about your future. All these issues show up as anxiety, depression, relationship problems and low self esteem. By raising your self-awareness I will help you explore these issues and find the root causes of the symptoms you're experiencing. For me, counselling is a vocation not a job and I am passionate about making a difference in people’s lives. I hope I can make a difference in yours.

I am here to help you when you are ready to take the next step.

Hello! My goal is to help my clients through their life challenges and empower them to live a more fulfilled life. Anxiety, low mood... bereavement, relationship difficulties, trauma ... we all carry emotional bagage but sometimes, we need to find space and time to work through it so that we can free ourselves from the chains that are holding us back. As a therapist, I believe in kindness - a warm and compassionate ear - validation and no judgement. But I also believe that sometimes, my role is to challenge your perspective so that you can see those self defeating patterns and make the changes that you want to make for yourself.

Anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, habits or fears do not define you; they can be temporary problems that you can learn to solve, with the right support in place. My approach to therapy allows you to find a way forward as quickly as possible.

Üzüntüyü,hüznü ya da kederi hayatımızdan tamamen çıkaramayız.Beklenmedik olaylar olur,istenmeyen olaylar yaşanır,durumlar ve kişiler değişir. Nasıl ki uykumuz geliyor ve yorgun oluyorsak, nasıl ki acıkıyor ve susuyorsak, bazen çok iyi haberler alıyor ve bazen derin kayıplar yaşıyorsak, bazen gülüyor bazen ağlıyorsak duygularımız, ihtiyaçlarımız ve deneyimlediklerimiz anlık olarak değişir, gelip geçer... Önemli olan bu duyguların ne kadar sürdüğü ve bizi ne kadar etkilediğidir... Yağan yağmurdan sonra hiç gökkuşağı çıkmıyor, güneş tekrar parıldamıyor, ağaçlar yeniden çiçek açmıyorsa sizin için iklim değişmiş demektir.

You may be asked the question "How are you?" many times, but how often have you been able to respond to that question truthfully? You may hold back your emotions and feel anxious, confused and overwhelmed by life difficulties. You may feel that you cannot share what is inside you for fear of being judged, misunderstood or simply you cannot trust people around you. It may feel safer to reply: "I am ok!" and life goes on without giving a voice to your deep needs. My aim is to offer you a warm and non judgemental space where together we can explore the source of your emotional difficulties. Your emotional wellbeing is my priority.

Choosing a therapist can be daunting, especially when you may be anxious, at a low ebb & if you’ve had no experience of working with one before. My approach is to provide a warm, safe & confidential space for reflection; allowing you to explore your difficulties without judgement. This is an opportunity for you to explore yourself, what troubles you & how this may have been shaped by your past or current circumstances. Many of the things that keep us stuck are out of our awareness and so the aim will be to find a safe, measured way to explore this. The aim of therapy as Jung says: ‘Is not to fix our problems but to outgrow them'.
