About me

I am an integrative counsellor and an accredited member of the BACP working in central London. In my model of practice I draw on different approaches depending on issues presented, client's unique personality and their specific needs. However, the most important  aspect of my work is creating a safe and supportive relationship with you, the client, where you can feel heard, respected and understood.

The aim of my work is to support and empower you in getting in touch with and exploring your feelings and thoughts and examining how different life experiences impacted on who you are now. This work on connecting to, and safe exploration of, who you are becomes the foundation for processing emotional blocks and gaining deeper awareness of yourself, so that you can arrive at the place from where you are able to make desired changes into your behaviour and start creating your life in a free and conscious way.

I have a particular interest in trauma and how it impacts on peoples' ability to have harmonious relationships with themselves and others. Trauma may have happened as a single event, a series of events or there might have been a prolonged continual exposure to it, sometimes spanning over many generations within the family. Acknowledging it and processing emotional blocks it created opens the door to regaining balance and sense of wellbeing in a traumatised person's life.

I am devoted to working with difference and diversity, exploring cultural and identity issues and how they impact on people in their lives.
