About me
Find me in the St John’s Wood (close to Abbey Road) area, for in-person sessions. We can also have a mixture between in-person and online sessions.
I am an Integrative CBT Therapist interest in helping people overcome emotional gusts, pains and difficult situations in life. CBT helps us understanding the story that we bring into the therapy session and identify our unhealthy ways of thinking that lead to emotional gusts or pains. Very often the way we feel is a consequence of our holding of unhealthy beliefs or mindsets. CBT helps shift those unhealthy habitual ways of thinking to healthier alternatives ones. In that way, we can reestablish a more balanced way of living.
As an Integrative Therapist, I am qualified to use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT) to name a few. Also, as a qualified Alexander Technique teacher, I am interested in the body/mind connection and explore that within the session.
I am available:
Mon, Tues, Thurs – 9am to 3pm (GMT)

Further information
As an Integrative CBT therapist, I am trained to combine CBT with third wave therapies in our session, and to integrate the work that I have been passionate about for the past 20 years, the Alexander Technique. In my view, psychotherapy combined with Alexander Technique makes a powerful tool, not only by using the power of our minds to help us overcome the difficulties of living, but also to fundamentally understand that our minds are not separate from our bodies. In that way, by exploring the whole system mind/body, we will be better equipped to integrate a new perspective and coming back to ourselves.
