About me and my therapy practice
I work with men, women and teenagers from all walks of life. I specialise in helping individuals, couples and teenagers suffering relationship difficulties, stress, anxiety, depression, all forms of addiction, (including alcohol, drugs, gambling, sex), as well as dealing with issues related to early trauma, be it emotional, sexual or physical abuse.
I have worked in several, client-driven, professional settings - as a partner in a City law firm, as a journalist, and in business development, here and in Hong Kong. I especially know how the City works, the stresses there - it is a unique place. Clients often tell me they value the unique insight this gives me.
I offer practical 'here and now' techniques to get instant relief, also using mindfulness, CBT, and psychodynamic approaches to explore what is troubling you.
The sessions might be an agreed number and solutions-focused or more open-ended - we work out together what is best for you.
Practice description
I have a comfortable, peaceful room in a ground floor flat on a quiet road in Shepherds Bush, right by Wendell Park. It's a ten minute walk from Stamford Brook tube or Turnham Green tube or five minutes from the bus stops on Uxbridge Road.
My first session
Our first session is an exploration of where you are now, what is bothering you, what has brought you here at this stage in your life.
The first session is about seeing if there is an affinity, the potential to make progress together. You will know straightaway if we can.
