I believe that we are ready to access therapy when it’s no longer possible for us to travel alone on our journey, hidden from ourselves and others, stuck in familiar and/or unfamiliar patterns that can no longer contain us, and when the way in which we are relating (or not relating ) to ourselves , others and the world around us , is no longer making us feel fully alive or connected.

Some wisdom within us tells us it's time to look inwards. Looking inwards can feel daunting  but it is necessary in order to instigate meaningful and lasting changes. Navigating such changes can be difficult and it can make us vulnerable and delicate. In our therapeutic encounter, I strive to meet you where you are in your emotional landscape and offer you empathy, support , structure and a space for understanding and accepting everything that has and hasn’t happened in your life, especially in your formative years. My aim is to offer a therapeutic relationship that bears witness to the process of transformation.

My training is in Integrative Counselling & Psychotherapy which means I work with Psychodynamic and Humanistic theoretical perspectives . I am also an EMDR trauma therapist.

I am mostly experienced and interested in working with Abuse, PTSD, Trauma ( including relational trauma), Attachment issues, Childhood emotional neglect, Anxiety and Sexual and Porn addiction.

I have been working as a therapist for a decade now. I worked in various organisations and charities in London, including working in palliative care with cancer patients, East London Out Project ( ELOP) charity, offering counselling to the community members, supporting LGBTQ clients, working with asylum seekers and refuges. I now work in private practice.

I believe that healing and achieving meaningful and lasting internal change in therapy can only happen when we incorporate and integrate all aspects of our being: emotional, cognitive, physical, relational and spiritual. This is why I am passionate about integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy.
