About me
I am an experienced (over 18 years), UKCP registered Psychotherapist, Counsellor and Supervisor. Relationship issues, anxiety, depression, anger management, low self-esteem, ADHD, eating disorders, panic attacks, are amongst the most frequent issues that I work through with my clients. I'm practicing both face to face in N2 East Finchley and online. I have many years of experience working in private practice and in a number of mental health settings and NHS provisions, working with people from diverse backgrounds and with a wide range of issues.
I also supervise qualified psychotherapists, counsellors and trainees .
My approach is integrative which means I can use a combination of several different approaches. The Integrative training has given me both in depth and rich training in different modalities and the freedom to choose what is right for a particular person or an issue. As there isn’t one single approach which would suit all.
Therapy in my view is about creating a safe and trusting environment in which you can express yourself as freely as possible and get the opportunity to explore the roots of your problems and gain insight into patterns of living that may be destructive. This awareness can bring about the possibility of having choices, and the ability to shift the stuck-ness or repetitive cycles.
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I was an artist and a lecturer. I have found that therapy can bring about creativity in clients not necessary in its obvious forms (e.g.; painting, music) but in learning how to deal with frustrations, internal and external conflicts.
I provide short term counselling sessions as well as open ended long term psychotherapy. I am registered with most major insurance companies such as AXA, AVIVA, PRUHEALTH, WPA. If you have other private health insurance please ask.
The first session, the initial assessment will be one hour in which you could discuss your concerns/issues, your needs and expectations. This is also an opportunity for you to get an idea of how I work.
Please contact me on 07952 596345 and feel free to discuss possibilities. An introductory 15- 20 min call is the first step. I will try to answer your questions and can provide you with information/other options with no obligations.
