I work as part of a team of online specialist clinical psychologists. We use technology to maximise each session you have and keep you well. We divide ourselves up into areas of expertise – so if you’ve experienced something traumatic, for example, the best professional care you can receive is from a clinical psychologist who has chosen to specialise in trauma. My expertise is OCD, BDD and obsessional and anxiety difficulties, such as perfectionism.

I work with a vast array of people. I’ve helped people to deal with relationships breaking down, the abuse they’ve suffered in the past, existential issues about the future, dealing with anger, processing grief, understanding sexuality, understanding emotions, dealing with depression as well as understanding their anxiety. I’m trained as an integrative counsellor and this means that I can adjust my approach to suit each person that I work with.

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, CPCAB
Years in practice: 2
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in Soho, London and online.

Therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and sexuality issues, substance use, health conditions and HIV.

Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can’t put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked – early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate your progress.

I have specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training to help you if you are experiencing sleep problems, panic, phobias, and some forms of trauma and OCD.

MSc in Theoretical Psychoanalytic Studies, University College London and Post Graduate Advanced Clinical Diploma in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (4 years), WPF Therapy Kensington (FPC)
Years in practice: 20
Offers:  Remote Therapy

My approach is warm and thoughtful, placing my clients at ease in opening up sometimes for the first time about their personal feelings and experineces. I predominately offer a psychodynamic approach which is particularly beneficial for those who have lost meaning in their lives or have difficulty forming or maintaining personal relationships. My approach is based on the understanding that difficult experiences in the past can continue to affect the way you feel in the present. In the therapeutic relationship, we can start to explore and recognise the reasons why the things that make you unhappy seem to be repeating themselves.

I have been working as an integrative therapist for over 10 years and tailor my way of working to meet your needs. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel down or angry, struggling to find joy and fulfilment in life? In therapy we work together to identify the causes and find solutions. Are you tired of repeating self-destructive behaviours? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? Unhealthy habits can develop that lead to us feeling trapped. I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which you are able to identify your problems and find ways to change.

My website has more information where I also offer a free 20 minute introductory call.

I am a Gestalt Counsellor (regsitered with BACP) and started seeing clients in 2013. This was through placements at Hampshire charities No Limits (young people) and Cruse (bereavement).

I am co-author of “Strength to Talk” which is dedicated to men’s mental health with all proceeds going to the charity Mind.

Anyone interested in counselling can have a free consultation session (30mins) to ask any questions and check that we could make progress.

We do what we do in life because of how we feel. When we’re happy, we think happy thoughts and feel buoyant, and are resilient and flexible. When we feel bad inside, we may become angry and resentful, or collapse in on ourselves, or worry about everything. Changing how we feel is not an easy task, because it is a manifestation of so many fundamental inner processes: how we talk to ourselves in our head, how we process and make sense of what happens to us, and how we feel about ourselves. Change, thus, comes from within; from delving into who we fundamentally are, facing what’s inside, and learning to relate to ourselves in a new way, so that we actually enjoy being alive. I am here to help you with that journey.

Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, Warrington Vale & Royal College

I work using the Person-Centred (or Humanistic) approach, which is often referred to as the “how does that make you feel?” style of therapy. However, a more accurate description would be I focus on building a supportive relationship where we can view the world from your perspective, and we work together to make changes that you want. I believe that you are the expert in your own life and have the ability to solve your own problems but recognise that sometimes an “outsiders” support and perspective can be helpful. I aim to create a non-judgmental safe space to explore your world using empathy, honesty and unconditional positive regard helping us to work through the thoughts, feelings and issues that are impacting you.
