About me

Sometimes we have no other choice but to take a leap of faith into the hands of a stranger. However difficult that concept might seem, we may feel that nothing or nobody else could help us. Maybe the stress at work is taking its toll or the relationship we are in is increasingly dissatisfying. Maybe a recent bereavement amongst other life transitions tipped the balance or the presence of a general feeling of anxiety that we cannot understand makes life difficult. Making the first step in contacting someone might be a daunting idea and yet a step forward towards a more satisfying, fulfilling life.

About me

I am an integrative, person centred counsellor/psychotherapist and have worked in North London for 19 years. I provide a safe, confidential space where a non-judgemental, empathic relationship can be built.

First session

I offer a low cost first session so that we can explore together how therapy might be of help to you in dealing with anything that troubles you. My approach revolves around listening attentively to your problems and helping you find a better way forward.

How does counselling work

Some people want to address all their issues, some people just want to make a slight improvement in their lives. Sometimes further issues emerge as therapy develops. However you like to use your sessions you should expect to feel heard and accepted in a confidential and dependable environment. I recommend that weekly meetings work better but I can offer flexibility as required.

Areas of expertise

I work with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, phobias, panic attacks (often associated with anxiety), addiction, relationship problems, anger, stress, life transitions, loss, bereavement, disabilities both short- term and long-term, bullying. I work with individuals, couples and families and have a substantial experience working in the field of learning disability, brain injury as well as people with communication problems.
