About me and my therapy practice

For some women abortion is an experience which becomes a painful part of their lives, even if they felt they were making the right decision at the time.

I work with women who are struggling after an abortion whether it was a few months ago or many years ago. For some women an abortion can have an impact on them and their lives which is unexpected, or at least more significant than they thought it would be. For some there can be feelings of guilt, shame and anger as well as sadness; depression and anxiety may become issues. For some the experience can raise questions around self and identity.

I am a registered therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I am trained in Integrative Counselling and Coaching.

Practice description

I use a framework and a number of steps flexibly to explore with you your emotions, these may include anger, shame and guilt as well as anxiety, depression and grief. We will work together to identify areas that we focus on and I will be guided by you in terms of what is most important to you.

I have over three years experience specialising in post-abortion therapy and spent a number of years volunteering for a north London charity focussed on this area.

I work in an empathetic, warm and non-judgemental way. I work "integratively" which means I bring a range of approaches and tools with me, and tailor these to your needs. I'm originally trained in counselling and coaching and so bring these two approaches into my work.
