Therapy
It is not uncommon to reach a point in life where you feel you need to reach out for help and talk about what is going on for you in a safe space without the fear of being judged, not being taken seriously and with someone who is trained to help you.
Talking to family and friends can be a helpful and supportive outlet. However, for many specialist areas they are often not the right people to talk to when reaching out for help and it can be counterproductive causing you to become even more entrenched in the problem that you were trying to deal with and left feeling helpless and in despair.
We offer a welcoming, confidential and non-judgmental space for you to talk and explore any areas of your life that may be causing you to experience psychological and emotional pain in a safe setting. It doesn't matter how problematic your life is or what form the problems or challenges in your life take, if they are causing you to be unhappy then therapy can help you.

I have an adaptive, flexible and integrative way of working with a focus on developing a collaborative relationship and tailor-making a range of ways to help you move forwards and grow.
I have extensive experience working therapeutically having worked for the Islington and Camden NHS trust and for a nationwide drug and alcohol charity before starting The Private Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice.
I have completed a thesis in the area of problematic smartphone use, made a contribution to the literature and hold a masters degree in addiction psychology and counselling.
I am part of a team who travel and work with a world renowned leader on events globally that have helped thousands of people find inner peace.
