About Me

My practice is based in North London.

I have 10 years post qualification experience, working with adults from diverse backgrounds with all kind of difficulties.

I have worked with men and women of different ages and sexual orientation. I adapt the way I work, acting sensitively to take into account the client's needs.

My four-year training with the Institute of Psychotherapy and Social Studies was a UKCP accredited course.

Bereavement and loss

Powerful feelings may arise when someone close to us dies. Similarly, the ending of a relationship or a work related event can also provoke strong emotion as can the process of ageing, which may bring other losses. We can feel as if part of us has been lost and these feelings rob us of our ability to ‘find' motivation in many parts of our life. Counselling helps to regain our sense of self and well being.

Sexual difficulties

Sexual difficulties are often embarrassing, highly personal and may be difficult to talk about. We may feel very anxious and this can affect our confidence and the way we lead our lives. It is important to explore the problem as a whole, considering both psychological and physical issues. Talking to a trained counsellor will help uncover the source of the distress and will ultimately promote a fulfilled sexual life.

Depression

Depression is often disabling making it hard for us to function. We may not be aware that we are depressed, but struggle with the symptoms. Our energy, hope and zest for life disappears. The causes may or may not be apparent, but knowing the event that has triggered the depression does not necessarily bring relief. The depressive state often masks an anger which is turned against oneself. This can then result in a feeling of depletion and lethargy. Counselling allows us to gain a deeper understanding of our situation, helping us to regain our energy and motivation.

Anxiety

Such feelings may be intermittent and general or triggered by specific events. These feelings may make us uneasy or more powerful and feel overwhelming. Anxiety can inhibit the way we function in many areas of our lives. One of the effects is that we become too preoccupied, too tentative and this distorts our responses. This in turn robs us of the joyful part of our life. The issues are felt in the here and now, but often, the feelings are a response to an occurrence in our past. Counselling helps establish perspective and allows us to work towards finding the source of the difficulty.

Relationships

Many present difficulties, which can make us angry, frustrated and unhappy. These difficult relationships can be in the work environment and or in our personal lives. They can cause anxieties, anger or sadness. Usually, our reactions are closely linked to past experiences and may result in us responding unhelpfully in close/intimate situations. Counselling allows us the opportunity to uncover and come to terms with a difficult past.

Abuse

There are many forms of abuse which include:- physical, verbal or sexual. Abuse can often cause an emotional scar that influences or inhibits us in our lives. They affect many areas of our lives and can make us feel anger and rage, give us inferiority and guilt complexes or distort the way we behave. These distortions often inhibit our limit our success in many areas of our lives. The effect of these influences make us and perhaps people close to us, very unhappy. Talking with a trained counsellor, allows us to explore these often painful emotions aroused by these traumatic experiences and helps us to move forwards.
