THINKING ABOUT THERAPY?
We usually think about having therapy when life is feeling difficult, when we're a bit stuck or something has happened and we need some help to understand it and make sense of how we feel. It might be that we've been living with mental health issues for some time and need support to feel we're moving forwards again.
​
People come to therapy for lots of different reasons, for some it may be anxiety and stress, depression, loss and grief, relationship and family issues, difficulties at work. For others it may be because of a trauma, life changing illness, phobia or obsessions/compulsions.
​
Some people might start therapy because they want to make specific changes and think about the future, for others it might be about making sense of the past.
​
If you're unsure about whether therapy is right for you I'll be happy to talk to you about the process and how it might help.​​
How I work: what type of therapy is it?
I am an Integrative psychotherapist which means that I am trained to use a number of different types of therapy. Drawing from different frameworks and models allows me to offer a therapy that is bespoke to you to meet your current needs. We are all individuals with different ways of seeing the world, different ways of thinking and processing our feelings. This approach allows me to use skills and techniques that fit you as an individual.
​
The main types of therapy I use are Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as well as bringing in helpful Neuropsychological perspectives. I may also use mindfulness and knowledge of the nervous system to help people gain a greater sense of control and peace with their emotions.
So what does all this actually look like in a session? It usually involves balancing an exploration of the past with a collaborative examination of current day thoughts, feelings, relationships and behaviours, all the time holding in mind what you would like to get out of therapy. This is a talking therapy, so the two of us will listen together to what you bring to the session, and I will help to guide you, reflect with you, as well as adding my own questions, prompts, insights and ideas. I find that some people need a space to get things off their chest whilst others like to make conscious changes and like techniques to use inbetween sessions.
​
It's a place to be seen and heard. I offer you a safe, private space to explore your thoughts and feelings. I will fully accept you as you are, I won't judge you and I will work to fully understand you and your experiences.
​
Everyone is welcome here. I only speak one language (English) but of course welcome people from all nationalities as well as people from the LGBTQI+ community.
​
Please get in touch if you would like to talk about whether this type of therapy might work for you.
SESSION INFO

​
In-person sessions are offered at two locations:
​
Haggerston, East London

Norwich, Norfolk
​​
ONLINE SESSIONS
Online sessions work well for people who travel a lot, work abroad, or for people living overseas who would like a UK based therapist. Equally it works well for people who prefer to have sessions from the comfort of their own home.

ABOUT ME
I have worked in private practice for several years. Before qualifying as a Counsellor & Psychotherapist I worked for many years both within the NHS and the Charity Sector. I have worked with many people experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relational issues, long-term conditions, trauma and childhood difficulties, addiction, cognitive issues, obsessions/compulsions and brain injury.
​
I have had therapy myself so I have experience of sitting in 'the other chair' and working through my own thoughts and feelings with a therapist. I also know what it can be like to search for the right therapist and to start the therapy process, taking a step into the unknown.
