Online Counselling for England
I work with adults and young people, providing face-face, phone and online.
As an integrative counsellor, I have built my practice on the foundation of the Person-Centered approach. I believe by giving my clients the right conditions and by connecting with them at a deeper level it will lead to positive change. I use Psychodynamic approach to help my clients look deeper into their unconscious mind or their past which may influence their behavior, thoughts and feelings in the present day.

I feel passionate about working with individuals that struggle to find what we call home and want to explore who they are and what they want. I understand that destructive and painful patterns in behaviours and thoughts serve an adaptive function. Together, we will explore what lies behind these protective mechanisms and build curiosity towards oneself. I also have a particular interest in working non-verbally, with infants and individuals with profound autism, developmental disorders and genetic syndromes.

You may be looking here because you are dealing with upsetting or challenging feelings and experiences, feeling overwhelmed, or having troubles in your relationships. If so, psychotherapy could help you. In the psychotherapy sessions you can explore various aspects of your life and feelings, talking about them freely and openly in a way that is rarely possible with friends or family. Bottled-up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief and embarrassment can become very intense and counselling offers an opportunity to explore them, with the possibility of making them easier to understand.

My training is in Gestalt psychotherapy which is a humanistic, person-centred, and holistic therapeutic approach. I am currently completing my 4th year of Gestalt psychotherapy training at the Metanoia Institute in London. My aim is to help you explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, beliefs and values. This gives you the opportunity to identify the choices, patterns of behaviour and obstacles that are preventing you from reaching your full potential. I will engage with you in an honest, respectful and vibrant way. I try to meet you from one human being to another, rather than treat or analyse you in the medical sense.

You might feel overwhelmed by life's complexities and struggle with patterns tied to early experiences and family dynamics, yet you feel these alone don’t fully capture your current challenges. You seek a therapeutic relationship that explores the effect onto you of both personal experiences and socio-political dynamics; one that addresses issues like anxiety, depression, and self-esteem, while examining the systemic forces limiting your potential.
