Our sessions are tailored to your specific needs and goals, guiding you on a collaborative journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing. In this safe and nonjudgmental space, we explore the depths of your emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Whether you're grappling with past traumas, seeking clarity in relationships, or navigating life transitions, I offer compassionate support and evidence-based techniques to foster self-awareness and empowerment.
Clients who come to me are often grappling with complex life issues, including unresolved emotions, past traumas, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and a sense of disconnection. They seek a safe space to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings without judgment, aiming to gain deeper self-understanding and clarity about their place in the world. They search for a therapist who can offer empathy, insight, and guidance. My role is to provide this supportive environment, to walk alongside them as they embark on a journey of self-exploration and transformation. Together, we delve into the depths of their psyche, uncovering patterns, exploring inner conflicts, and fostering self-awareness and acceptance.
Ultimately, my clients strive for personal growth, emotional healing, and a renewed sense of purpose and fulfilment in their lives. Through our therapeutic partnership, they not only learn to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and authenticity but also embrace their inherent capacity for growth and self-actualisation.
Beyond symptom relief, I aim to facilitate lasting transformation. With warmth and authenticity, I invite you to embark on a journey towards a more fulfilling life.
MY INTERESTS & SPECIALISATIONS:
TRAUMA, PTSD & C-PTSD
The effects of unsettling or traumatic experiences are frequently overlooked or dismissed, leading to a lack of recognition of post-traumatic stress symptoms and their profound impact on individuals and their lives. Understanding how to identify these signs, manage triggers, and utilise coping mechanisms developed for survival is crucial. It's essential to acknowledge that everyone's experience of trauma is unique and manifests differently.
LOSS, GRIEF & BEREAVEMENT
For many years, I have dedicated my work to bereavement counselling, end-of-life and palliative care at St. Raphael’s Hospice in Sutton, London. In this volunteering role, I support patients and their families through difficult times. Grief counselling extends beyond the loss of a loved one and encompasses various forms of loss, including loss of health, relationships, careers, pets, identity, meaning, and purpose, among countless others.
MENTAL HEALTH
ANXIETY, SELF-HARM, OCD, PERSONALITY & MOOD DISORDERS
We all frequently encounter highs and lows or anxiety-inducing situations in our lives. However, when these challenges become intolerable or overwhelming, we may experience depression, panic attacks, mood swings, paranoia, intrusive thoughts, self-harm, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, or difficulties with self-image, among other issues. During such times, therapy proves invaluable.
DIVERSITY & INCLUSION
In my therapy practice, I frequently observe that residing in a multicultural society presents unique challenges. Typically, individuals belonging to diverse backgrounds bear the brunt of discrimination, abuse, and isolation.
My practice warmly embraces individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those who identify as LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse, ethnic minorities, and those with physio-psychological disabilities (accessible for wheelchair users).
