You might be struggling with difficult feelings, relationship issues, losses and need some support understanding what is going on for you. You might just be feeling unsatisfied with life and need to speak about this. You don’t have to be in crisis to seek therapy. I can provide a safe, welcoming and non judgemental space where you can talk about what's causing problems in your life and together we can find ways to make your life more stress free, comfortable and fulfilling.

I am a qualified counsellor/therapist and have a private practice based in Clapton, Hackney, Walthamstow and online via Zoom. I am an integrative therapist who believes in the idea that there are many ways in which to work with clients - no one theory or technique alone holds the answer.  Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked as a teacher with young and mature adults for many years and saw that the most valuable learning happens when students feel heard and valued. I now bring that non-judgmental attention to my therapeutic work.

How I work

The difference careful and empathic listening can make to a client's self understanding and to their symptoms can be life changing! 

Therapy is really about the working relationship, the emotional bond we have and if that feels supportive and safe then many positive changes can and do happen.

I like to work relationally in that I will endeavour to understand you from inside your lived experience and share that with you and how your personal relational context is very significant.  Relationships with others-How do others see me? Am I good enough?  Am I worth something? When the answers aren't good, you feel bad about yourself and this can wear you down.

I cannot tell you what to do or advice you. It is about sitting together and exploring your experiences, thoughts, feelings, & desires, giving these the time and attention they deserve which can be difficult but definitely worthwhile for lasting change.

I have worked with clients with many issues like isolation, addictions, depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, low self worth, major loss and bereavement, relationship break-ups/ difficulties, work/life balance and work related problems. My approach is integrative which means I can work with many different approaches to find the best way that suits you.

I am a qualified therapist registered with the BACP working in East London. Underlying my training and work is a commitment to diversity and inclusion and I encourage an environment where my clients can be themselves.

Clients sometimes work with me on a medium or long term basis depending on their issues. I can offer a free initial telephone chat and then set up a consultation so you can tell me in more detail what's creating problems in life for you and how we can maybe work together to reduce and overcome them and live better.
