Looking for counselling or psychotherapy?

Seeking therapy can feel daunting. It’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with – someone you can ask questions of or say, ‘that doesn’t feel right’; someone you can sit in silence with; someone who is deeply interested in you and your experience of the world.

If you’d like to see whether I’m that person, the first step is for us to have a free initial phone call. We can talk about any hopes or fears you might have before meeting in person. If it feels like a good fit, we can arrange a time to meet regularly, for a short time (usually 12 sessions), a longer time (6 months to a year), or without any fixed ending.

My training and way of working is integrative, which means that I draw on different ways of understanding human experience to find an approach that works best for you. My role is not to provide a diagnosis or give you solutions but to help you to re-connect with your own feelings, desires, and insights – to find your way back to yourself.

In doing so, we might explore dreams, drawings, music, writing, physical sensations, and early childhood experiences. We might also pay attention to what is happening between us in therapy, as this can often be a microcosm of your experience in the wider world. 

We might decide to meet indoors, in a more traditional therapy room, or outdoors, in green spaces around North East London.
