Life throws many surprises, and whilst we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, counselling and psychotherapy can help you to develop a better understanding of yourself and how you react to certain situations. You may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, fearful, anxious, depressed or confused. I understand it takes courage to seek help; but you are here now. I offer a safe, supportive, confidential and non-judgmental space in which to work with your distressing thoughts, emotions and behaviours. You do not need to do this alone. Together we can find a way forward.

People undertake counselling and psychotherapy for many reasons. You may need help to overcome a crisis or a relationship issue. Perhaps you are struggling with depression, experiencing suicidal thoughts or maybe you are a survivor of sexual, physical or psychological abuse. You may not know what you are feeling right now, but on some level you know you need help. You could be trying to overcome an addiction or compulsive sexual disorder. Talking to friends and family can help, but it is often not enough, sometimes we need to talk to a professional.

I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor, accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP). I work from Letchworth Garden City and the Marylebone Centre in London. Before starting my private practice, I worked within the private and public sector and counselled clients at a North London Charity. I have many years’ experience in working with individuals and groups affected by addiction.

Life throws many surprises, and whilst we cannot predict the outcome of any situation, counselling and psychotherapy can help you to develop a better understanding of yourself and your relationships. You may be feeling overwhelmed, isolated, fearful, anxious, or depressed. I am a Psychotherapist and Sex & Relationship Therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and relationships to help explore and understand the difficulties they are experiencing.

Imitate relationships can move to the bottom of the pile when we are juggling home, work, and families. We can find it difficult to communicate and often find ourselves not feeling heard. Individuals might look for intimacy outside their primary relationship, the impact of this discovery can be devastating. Sexual of psychological abuse can leave us feeling overwhelmed by shame, guilt, and anger. Infertility issues can lead to deep feeling of pain, shame, guilt and upset. Childhood may also impact on our relationship and beliefs around sex. Sometimes our bodies let us down, sex issues for example vaginismus and erectile issues can cause much distress. As a Psychotherapist and specialist Sex and Relationship Therapist I can offer you the support you need. You do not need to do this alone. Together we can find a way forward.
