I am an experienced Counsellor and Psychotherapist working in the area of South East and South West of London.

I provide a safe and confidential environment for you to explore the issues you may be struggling with. These issues may be affecting the way you feel about yourself and your loved ones around you. I offer a non-judgemental, supportive, environment which facilitates the development of self, supports the exploration of possible solutions to problems and helps challenge negative pattern

Counselling & Psychotherapy

My core model of working is Person Centred and Existential which is a branch of Humanistic School of Psychology/Psychotherapy and with vigorous training in other therapeutic models such as CBT, I apply an integrative approach to my work to meet each individual's needs.

Humanistic Therapy (Person Centred and Existential)

Humanistic Therapies focus on self-development, growth and responsibilities. They seek to help individuals recognise their strengths, creativity and choice in the 'here and now'. Within the Person Centred framework, 'every individual has within themselves resources to grow and develop if the right environments are provided'. The Person Centred Therapy is non-directive and non-judgemental which provides you with that environment to be the person you are, whereas the Existential Therapy seeks to emphasise on exploration of a particular situation to clarify your values and priorities.


Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
We examine the role of your thoughts (cognitions) on your negative emotions and behaviour. In becoming more aware of your thinking patterns, we can begin to elicit which are more and less positive and begin to replace the less positive ones with thoughts that are empowering and move you forwards towards positive change.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)

Rather than focusing on your problems and their routes, we look at the ways and techniques to your problem. By exploring what is going on 'here and now' concerning your experiences, you can begin to become aware of what factors in life are contributing to the problem and the solution to it, and therefore you can begin to increase your understanding of how to apply appropriate solutions to the problem in a given time. Usually SFBT is for between 4 to 8 sessions.

Couples

If you have a relationship problem or are experiencing difficulties in your marriage and when both of you agree to see a counsellor, sometimes it is best to tackle it before it is too late. Counselling will give you a neutral and safe space where feelings may be openly expressed and heard.

As a dedicated member of BACP ( British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy, ) I have been working under their guidelines with regular supervision and I adhere to it's code of ethics.
