Profile

I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor, based in Harrow HA7, with day time, evening and weekend appointments. I work with individuals families and couples, including adults, teens and children.

People choose counselling for a variety of reasons:

A particular problem, a bereavement or loss that is causing distress

Past events such as abuse and trauma that are affecting you now

An addiction that is causing you harm

Anxiety, stress and panic attacks

Low mood and depression

Help with anger management

Relationship problems and couples counselling

A sense of something missing in your life

A wish for deep self understanding and personal development

Having a tangle of problems and not knowing where to start

Sometimes it is a relief just to stop for a moment, to pause and give yourself the time and space that you need to address whatever it is that is troubling you.

I am interested in how you are feeing, what this issue is like from your point of view. It is important that you are free to address whatever matters, knowing that I will not judge you and that I will respect and accept you warmly.

Counselling can be challenging, therefore it is my intention to create a safe and supportive setting where you can reach understandings and insights, make decisions and work towards making changes that increase your happiness and wellbeing.

I am experienced in working with clients from various backgrounds and cultures As your counsellor I am concerned with what goes on for your feelings, emotions and moods. I am also interested in external pressures from work, school, family the media and so on.

Counselling is confidential and I abide by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Hypnotherapy

I am a qualified hypnotherapist, registered with the GHR. Hypnotherapy can empower clients by helping them to overcome obstacles that affect their lives including smoking, low confidence, anger management, depression and exam anxiety. Often there is something underlying, for example sleeping difficulties may be linked with anxiety or uncomfortable feelings such as embarrassment and shame. Some clients benefit from a combination of hypnotherapy and counselling.

Focusing Oriented Therapy

When people come to see me they are usually hoping to make some changes in their lives and to gain some insights into themselves and their situation.Inner Relationship Focusing involves identifying and getting a deeper sense of something that is going on within you.

By paying close attention to sensations in our bodies we can reach deeper understandings about ourselves, our emotions, how we want to proceed in a situation and what it is that we really yearn for. As a Focusing Oriented Therapist I can include Focusing within counselling sessions when this is helpful for clients.

Supervision

I am a BACP Senior Accredited supervisor of individuals and groups. I work with trainee and qualified counsellors and am on the lists of approved supervisors for students at Harrow College and Metanoia. I also supervise groups for the counselling service at City Lit Adult Education Centre.

Trainee Counsellors

My services include counselling and supervision for trainees. Self development can be emotional and difficult at times as well as immensely rewarding. I am aware of personal and professional issues which can arise during training and we can work with these together.

I offer counselling students a reduced rate.

Counselling can be long or short term according to your needs and preference. I practice in Harrow close to Stanmore, bushey, Kenton and Edgware.

Please feel free to get in touch, even if it is just to ask about how counselling can help you.
