About me and my therapy practice
I work with people who struggle with low self-confidence and low self-esteem. I can support you in your journey in figuring out who YOU genuinely are and helping you find peace in that.
I am aware that at times life can feel quite confusing. Balancing different cultures and beliefs and not being quite sure about who YOU are and what YOUR identity is. What is certain however, is that the life you are leading isn’t working for you. It feels unfulfilled, unhappy, stuck. This has led to a knock-on effect on how you feel about yourself, your self-esteem and even your relationships with others.
As I was brought up in a multicultural society (as well as multiple cultures coming together within my own family), it has given me a unique ability to see cultures from a different viewpoint; both the importance of beliefs and values that can come from our cultures, whilst also recognising the internal conflicts they can cause us as individuals. This, along with my training allows me to tailor my work according to your needs and requirements.
Practice description
What I offer:
As a BACP Accredited and experienced counsellor, I offer you the opportunity of a safe and confidential space that is free from any judgement and full of acceptance and empathy. What this means for you is that you get a space to openly talk about what is troubling you; the opportunity to explore your thoughts and feelings to gain insights and clarity, as well as uniquely tailored support in developing gradual changes that ultimately lead to a more healthier and balanced way of life.
Throughout this journey, I will support you in exploring and coming to an understanding of your own realistic wants and needs for your own life, whilst also supporting you in building a foundation of respect for yourself; stemming from a recognition of your own incredible worth and value.
Along with my private practice, I have also offered my services voluntarily with Refuge where I worked as a peer mentor and emotional support worker, supporting women to rebuild their lives and overcome different forms of abuse. Additionally, I have worked within the NHS IAPT service offering short-term, focussed counselling and am currently working with Sutton Women’s Centre, offering long-term counselling and psychotherapy to women who have experienced abusive relationships.
My first session
I understand that it can feel quite difficult trying to find a counsellor that is the right fit for you and so I offer a brief consultation in which we can discuss what has brought you to counselling and what you would like to gain from therapy. During this consultation, you are free to ask any questions you have about counselling and the way I work, in order to help you make an informed decision about whether my way of working is a good fit for you.
