Profile
I am a BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor/Psychotherapist practicing in Islington/Dalston/Stoke Newington and Walthamstow in London.
I provide a confidential, safe space where you can talk about difficult emotional issues and struggles. I offer both open ended therapy and short term focused contracts. I also offer CBT focused work and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing) for working with individuals who have experienced trauma. EMDR is always offered within the context of a therapeutic relationship. I work with individuals, couples and groups.
My personal style is integrative and relational. I originally trained as an integrative therapist and have more recently completed a four year psychotherapy training in Transactional Analysis. I aim to create an environment that supports you in making changes in your life to enable you behave differently, or to think or feel about things differently and to feel you have a choice in how you move forward in life, in relationships, in work
I have over 10 years experience working as a psychotherapist in private practice and within the NHS and have worked with a very wide range of presenting issues, including depression, anxiety and panic attacks, anxiety related disorders, stress, relationship problems, early trauma, adoption and early abandonment issues, eating disorders etc
I have a particular interest in working with both adult and early trauma and have worked successfully with individuals who have been struggling to move on in their lives as a consequence of very difficult experiences in their childhood as well as individuals who have suffered trauma in adult life.
I also provide supervision.
