About me
I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist with experience of working with people from all walks of life who are looking for time and space to work on specific problems or more wider and deeper rooted concerns.
I have extensive experience in mental health, working in the community with people of all ages and backgrounds. I have 19 years of experience working within the NHS where I continue to see client's as well as work in a supervisory capacity. In my current NHS role, I work in a maternal mental health service working with perinatal loss and trauma.
I have been trained across Humanistic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). Within my practice, I draw from the principals of all these approaches in order to provide you a productive, forward moving, therapeutic and caring psychological journey.
I am able to offer short term sessions or longer term therapy depending on your needs. I offer a private, safe, clean and comfortable environment for us to work through what you bring to therapy. My practice is based in W10 and easily accessible by public transport (Queens Park, Kensal Rise). My practice can easily be reached from neighbouring areas such as Willesden Green, Kilburn, Maida Vale, Harlesden, Neasden and Cricklewood.
I understand that it is not always easy to reach out-i've been there myself! It’s not always easy to find the right therapist. You may not know exactly what you’re looking for and that's okay. If you find yourself wondering what to expect, how it works or want to speak before you choose to start sessions, just get in touch by phone, text or email and I'll be happy to discuss any questions or queries you might have.
