About me
Life can be difficult. We can be met with stressful, challenging and traumatic events and feel unable to manage their impact on our well-being. We can struggle with enduring mental health conditions or new physical health diagnosis and feel incapable to move towards a life direction we would like to take. We can feel overwhelmed with conflicts, self-criticism, loneliness, existential angst and questions about our identities. We can struggle in so many ways which feels so much more difficult when we believe that there are not many people who can understand and help.
This is when therapy can become a source of needed support and source of needed hope for people to feel better and to have a more fulfilling life. It creates space where people feel heard, where their experiences are validated and where they are offered psychological plan of recovery. Although engaging in therapy might feel daunting, I truly believe that it can be transformative, if not life changing.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Counselling Psychologist experienced in supporting clients with existential and emotional distress, grief, impact of traumatic experiences, as well as life-changing physical and neurological conditions. I have substantial experience working with clients with perinatal difficulties and a variety of individual and coexisting mental health problems.
I am skilled in conducting holistic psychological assessments and delivering bespoke therapies. I do this in a collaborative way, recognising clients as unique individuals with a particular set of biological, physical, and socio-demographic characteristics. I also make a very conscious effort in building a respectful, empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship with clients. I believe that it creates a psychologically safe space, which is essential for clients to work through their difficulties and to reach a therapeutic goal, whatever it might be.
I offer short and long-term face-to-face or online therapy. All sessions last 50 minutes apart from EMDR sessions, which last 90 minutes.
