Counsellor Profile

I am a qualified and experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, specialising in relationship difficulties, emotional troubles, and personality disorders, offering once, twice or three times weekly psychotherapy in West London to individuals and couples.

Psychotherapy and counselling comes in many forms. I specialise in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Counselling which is particularly appropriate for individuals who are needing help with relationship difficulties (such as resolving conflicts); problems with their personalities (such as feeling empty and alone or not in touch with real feelings) or other emotional troubles. The latter may include depression, anxiety, panic, anger, obsessive thoughts, difficulties with eating and sleeping, dependency on alcohol or drugs, or dealing with issues of bereavement, separation or job loss. This therapy can also help those who lack confidence or feel they are not adequately fulfilling their potential or express emotional problems through physical symptoms.

I also use this approach in the Couple Counselling I provide which is appropriate for couples who are having difficulties in their relationship and want to explore how these problems have arisen and what interferes with changing them. Present problems often reflect underlying difficulties from each partner’s experiences in earlier life. Couple Counselling aims to understand what lies behind current difficulties, paying attention both to conscious and unconscious factors, in order to bring about change.

Some of the things I aim to help people achieve through couples counselling include:-
• Better communication
• A more stable family life
• Self-discovery
• Improved sexual relationship
• Greater awareness of your partner’s needs
• Reduced jealousy
• Increased confidence

What happens in this therapy?
I will work with you through a process of talking, listening and thinking. The aim of the therapy I use is to help you to understand more about your experience of life, how this contributes to the way you think about yourself and how this affects your relationship with others.
