I am close to Golders Green tube, buses and free parking. We all experience difficulties in our lives and mostly we manage to deal with them. However, sometimes we struggle to cope on our own, yet feel unable to share our problem with family or friends. Major events, such as the end of a relationship, loss of a job or death of someone close, can undermine normal coping mechanisms and the ability to come to terms with pain or anger or other emotions aroused in us. Or you may feel unhappy about your job, relationships, sexuality or self-esteem. I offer a confidential, professional, non-judgemental setting in which we can talk about anything that is troubling you. Together, we can try to make sense of your thoughts and feelings, and help you find a way forward. Talking about the things that concern you may not always be easy and, at times, it may be painful. Even taking the first step to contact a counsellor may feel difficult. It is therefore important that you proceed at your own pace and go only as far as you want. So you decide what to talk about each time we meet. I am here to offer my experience and skills, for you to use in the way that helps you most. I do not provide solutions, but will help you to find your own. I offer a safe space where individuals and couples can begin to express their needs, and feel heard.
