How I work

My approach

I am qualified and experienced in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling. This allows me to flexibly draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, such as Humanistic or Psychodynamic therapy, which means we can find the best way of meeting your needs, personality and background. Whatever may be bringing you to therapy, my aim is to support you in finding your way to a more fulfilling life.

My approach is to develop an authentic and trusting relationship between us, where we can explore and address what is bringing you to therapy with care and curiosity, and gentle challenge when needed. My aim is to do this thoughtfully and always in service of your therapeutic process.

The relationship we build is central to why therapy can be a transformative experience. I am invested in working collaboratively and creatively with you so we can look with compassion and honesty at patterns, relationships and experiences in your life that may be causing you distress, or no longer working for you.

I welcome and enjoy working with people from different walks of life. I respect and value your unique background, being mindful of your personal history, culture, gender, age, religion, sexuality and the beliefs and values you may hold.

I offer both open-ended as well as short-term therapy (up to 12 sessions), depending on your needs and the things you would like to work on and explore. My experience with clients includes (but not limited to):

  • Anxiety

  • Depression and Low mood

  • Relationship issues

  • Family issues

  • Abuse and trauma in childhood or adulthood

  • Sexual abuse

  • Anger issues

  • Addictions and compulsive behaviours

  • Bereavement and loss

  • Separation and divorce

  • Social anxiety and inadequacy

  • Low confidence – poor-self esteem

  • Loneliness

  • Feelings of emptiness or lack of purpose

  • Feeling lost or stuck

  • Work stress and burnout

  • Existential issues and major life changes

  • Self-discovery and personal development

Experience:

In addition to my private practice, I have worked at three counselling services in London: TLC rehab centre, The Highbury Counselling Centre and the Camden Listening and Counselling Centre.

Before working as a psychotherapist, I worked in Marketing and Advertising in different companies. This provided me with a good understanding of the work pressures and stress of the corporate world and has been a valuable experience to support clients working in high pressure environments.

I also had the opportunity of living in different countries and working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, which has provided me with an appreciation and understanding of different cultures, values and perspectives.

I am also experienced and enjoy working with clients from the LGBTQ+ community, as well as other minority groups.
