About me
It is not unusual to reach a point where you experience difficulty in understanding and making sense of life and relationships. Most of the time, the help of family or friends will be enough to get you through. Sometimes, however, the difficulties persist, leaving you feeling anxious, depressed, angry or frustrated and questioning your ability or your confidence to cope. If you are at this stage, then counselling or psychotherapy may be the best way forward.
I am a professionally qualified, BACP accredited psychotherapist and counsellor offering an emotionally safe and confidential therapeutic space for you to talk about thoughts, feelings or experiences you may not have felt able to explore. I use an integrative approach which means my training helps me draw on a range of theories and research to provide a supportive and collaborative therapy adapted to suit your needs.
Working together we can untangle some of the threads in your life to gain a clearer understanding of your feelings and experiences.This can then allow you to find a way forward.This might involve processing some significant life experiences, understanding how your past might be affecting you now or learning new strategies and techniques to help you in your everyday life.
My consulting rooms are based in the West Middlesex University Hospital campus, Isleworth and Twickenham. I am available for daytime & evening sessions during the week and morning sessions on a weekend.
