About me

About Me

I am an Integrative Counsellor with 10 years of experience working with adults, children and adolescents in private and public sectors. My background is in education and I do counselling in school. Previously I was a teacher in comprehensive schools, private schools, schools for children with learning disabilities, and pupil referral units. I have expert knowledge of the problems facing children in schools. I also work with individual adults and couples in both my practices situated in N7 and NW5. I work with common issues such as anxiety, phobia, depression, work related stress, grief, divorce etc.

I am an accredited Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing therapist which is approved by the World Health Organisation and recommended by the National Institute for Health Care Excellence. It promotes significant progress and faster recovery with most common mental health problems such as anxiety, phobia, anger, eating disorder, depression etc. It is quickly effective for processing simple traumas, e.g. car accidents, witnessing something very upsetting, bullying on social media, etc, but it also helps get to the root of the problem of more stubborn behaviours such as eating disorders, addictions or self harm.

I am BACP Accredited and Registered. My work is confidential and non judgmental. My practice is open to people from all sociocultural background regardless of religion and sexuality.

When we start

We will meet for one or two initial sessions to decide how I can best help you. There are no obligation to pursue counselling at any stage. If we feel that I am not the best person to help you I will assist you to find the right service for you.
