Psychotherapy is the best investment you will make in yourself
Hello and welcome to my page. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
I am a qualified and UKCP registered psychotherapist based in Rickmansworth and North London (Primrose Hill).
You reach out to a counsellor at a point in your life when life is stressful and you feel anxious but have nowhere to turn. It is not the same speaking to friends or family. You have no other option but to seek help from a psychotherapist.
Are you suffering from depression, stress, anxiety/panic attacks, eating disorders, self-sabotaging behaviours, relationship issues, anger or self -harm and the list goes on. These symptoms are difficult to manage and interfere in your daily life such as your relationships, everyday life, professional life or marriage, you stop socialising and isolating yourself and you don’t know where to turn.
You don't have to suffer from mental health to seek help from a psychotherapist and counsellor. At times you feel lost or question things and need a place to talk and explore what's happening in your life.
As a psychotherapist, I make sure that I have a holding space for you where you feel safe and not judged to speak about what you are going through and what you want to talk about.
I recognise that weekly face-to-face sessions are not always possible for all clients, including busy executives who travel extensively or who are based abroad. My counselling services are tailored for each client to combine personal meetings with Skype and/or phone session and maintain regular contact and to ensure continuity of your therapy.
Professional Qualifications

Training
I began the early years of my career working in the Homelessness sector with extremely vulnerable clients suffering from mental health, homeless young adolescents, teenage mothers, domestic violence, self-harm and drug abuse.
My clinical experience includes working at the prestigious Psychiatric Unit of the Maudsley Hospital and being involved in the Schizophrenic Twin Studies project as an assistant research psychologist. I then worked closely with children under the ages on 10 years at an autistic unit in a special needs school and then took up my role as a counsellor with City and Hackney Mind and Psychosis Therapy Project with Islington Mind.
My own extensive personal psychotherapy as part of my counsellor training has enabled me to gain inner understanding and knowledge of what the psychotherapy journey involves. I understand that taking the first step in psychotherapy can be very daunting but let me assure you, if you are reading this then you have already begin thinking about making a change in your life.
An open approach
Over the years as a psychotherapist I have helped clients with stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, trauma, relationship issues, bereavement, childhood trauma, marriage/couple counselling, identity crisis and other concerns.
I am an accredited member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) and hold myself to professional codes of ethics and guidance set by them Thereby assuring the utmost confidentiality to all my clients. I have a full and up to date DBS check
Depression and Anxiety
Mental health concerns such as anxiety can be extremely worrying as they can create a unexplained fear of things, bodily sensations, you can’t stop thinking and worrying about things or unexplained worries to do with health.
Depression can make you lose interest in things you liked doing, you lose your motivation and drive. You feel low, not feel like getting out of bed or meeting friends or family, feel like no one loves. You feel you have a dark cloud hanging over you that you are unable to explain.
Counselling helps you to overcome these unexplained feelings, thoughts and behaviour and make shifts in your life to begin living and flourishing again
Becoming aware of why you are suffering from symptoms associated with depression, anxiety or other mental health will help you to find resources within you to find the reasons why and a way forward
