Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ

I am an experienced, qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and registered member of the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ. I work with individual adults and adolescents, offering a supportive, non judgmental space to reflect on your experiences, explore thoughts, feelings and any difficulties that you may be facing. My approach is grounded in Gestalt and Mindfulness which are compassionate, practical, holistic approaches encouraging greater awareness, self care and personal growth. I work relationally which means I bring myself into the therapeutic work sharing my responses, thoughts and feelings with you. In the work we pay attention to psychological and physical experiences and how they are connected, developing greater awareness to encourage understanding. I am passionate about working in a ‘here and now’ way to support people to expand their awareness and develop greater self care. I am experienced in working with people from a wide range of faiths, ethic backgrounds and from the LGBT community. 

I am available to work online or alternatively in person at the Hackney Therapy Rooms in London.

My undergraduate and postgraduate education is in anthropology and international development. I went onto work in both statutory and voluntary sector mental health services for young people and adults in East London, where I ran a therapeutic service for young people. I am now in private practice in Hackney.

My guiding principles are:

Compassion

Respect

Openness

Confidentiality

Challenge

Common Issues brought to therapy:

Anxiety

Depression

Loneliness

Addictions

Relationship difficulties

Expression of feelings

Difficulties with intimacy

IVF/ Fertility

Childhood issues

Stress

Anger

Loss / Bereavement

Sexuality/ identity

Trauma

Feeling Stuck / Life change/ personal development 

During the first session we discuss in detail what it is that you are wanting to work on in therapy and see if we are a good fit for each other.  I will also walk through a standard form with you that is completed during the first session taking some relevant details. 

please feel free to contact me for my availability
