I am a Highly Specialist Clinical Psychologist with experience working in the NHS, private and voluntary sectors. I employ an empathic, warm and nonjudgmental approach to therapy and love working collaboratively with clients to improve their wellbeing. I recognise the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship and aim to help the people I work with feel listened to and understood. At the beginning of therapy I typically focus on trying to gain a shared understanding of a client's difficulties, where they might have come from, and what might be keeping them going. Following this, therapy is focused on working together to build on the client's strengths, meet their goals and make positive changes. I am skilled at treating a range of mental health difficulties including eating disorders, anxiety disorders (encompassing OCD, social anxiety, panic disorder, generalised anxiety disorder, and separation anxiety), trauma/ PTSD, low mood, poor self-esteem, and emotion regulation difficulties. My specialist areas are working with eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and child and adolescent mental health. Within my NHS work, I enjoy providing clinical supervision for clinical psychologists, trainee counselling psychologists, psychiatrists, and trainee clinical psychologists. In addition I lecture on the University of Surrey doctoral clinical psychology programme. I offer a range of NICE guideline recommended therapies including: Cognitive Behavioural, Acceptance and Commitment, Narrative, Compassion Focussed, Dialectical Behavioural and Mindfulness therapies. I believe in tailoring therapy to meet my client's needs, and may draw on a range of different therapeutic techniques and models in my work. I offer short or long term therapy depending on preference. Please call or email me if you would like an appointment. I offer a free 10-20 minute phone consultation to find out more about your presenting concerns, talk about your hopes for therapy, and to see whether I would be the right person to meet your needs.

I am an Integrative Counsellor. I started counselling in 2011, before starting in private practice I gained valuable experience in the voluntary sector at BCCS, Wimbledon Guild and Release Counselling. I am based in Battersea South West London. My aim is to enable clients to make the changes they want in life or simply work with them to explore their thoughts and feelings in depth. I offer a safe and confidential environment where clients are able to speak and to be listened to. I have worked with clients from various cultures and backgrounds. I can help with Relationship, Anxiety, Depression , Loss and General counselling issues. My training is Integrative therefore I draw on knowledge of different therapeutic approaches to find ways of helping each person. Recently I have worked with clients who have been experiencing various relationship issues.

I am an integrative therapist working in private practice in South East London. I mainly draw upon humanistic, CBT and psychodynamic theoretical approaches to meet your individual needs. In addition, at times I incorporate creative imagery work within sessions to help clients feel more comfortable in expressing their inner thoughts and feelings as I recognise that finding 'the words' is not always easy. Above all, I believe that our relationship is the most important aspect of therapy and it is my role to walk alongside you on your road of discovery.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, I guide you towards a deeper understanding of yourself, what you are struggling with and help you find a way to change and live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. Based in the psychoanalytic tradition, this kind of psychotherapy looks at how the problem you are facing today is linked to your past experiences; it explores what unconscious processes lay behind your present challenges and helps you understand and overcome it. I have lived in nine different countries across three continents, obtained dual American and British training and worked in both the private and public sectors. This experience has enriched me with exposure to a wide range of cultures and challenges. While I work primarily in English, I am fluent in Spanish, Italian and Greek and proficient in French. I am recognised specialist with AXA PPP healthcare, Aviva, Healix Health Services and VitalityHealth.

Whatever brings you to therapy, I offer a safe, confidential space for you to share your story, and talk about whatever is on your mind, at a pace you choose. It is a safe, contained space for you to explore where you are now, where you would like to be, and how you can work towards getting there. I am an integrative therapist, drawing on a wide range of approaches to tailor my sessions based on individual clients. First and foremost, I believe that building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, non-judgement and empathy is key. I have extensive experience working with a wide range of presenting issues, and offer bespoke sessions to meet individual needs, and to encourage forward movement.

I believe that each person has their own individual circumstances and reasons for wanting to come to therapy, so I want each of my clients to feel safe in telling me things that may be very personal and private. Counselling is for everybody, and I would like to reach out to men, as well as women, who may feel that they need to talk to someone, but may not currently feel comfortable expressing their emotions to another. We will work at your pace and discuss any issues you wish to discuss, whatever your gender may be. You may be dealing with anxiety, caused by relationship or work/exam stress, or maybe you are dealing with a bereavement, a betrayal, an addiction or a chronic illness. Maybe you are just feeling sad or anxious for no discernible reason. I will provide a confidential, non-judgemental space for you to express whatever you feel and I will provide honest feedback where it will be of benefit to you.
