Are you looking for a relatable therapist who understands the importance of culture and diversity?

Are you tired of being in survival mode and wanting to speak to someone who can help you find more healthy ways of dealing with life’s pressures?

Would you like a therapist who will challenge you around negative thinking and help with effective tools to manage and understand anxiety and depression?

Don’t let life events or negative thoughts get in the way of your goals, navigate your life or leave you feeling imbalanced.

I will provide you with a safe space that will encourage to come into your full sense of self. A space where you can be supported in healing, personal development and provided with tools to help you in your continued journey in life.

Stress plays a critical role in our survival instincts and so your body’s fight or flight response is essential to putting the odds of survival in your corner. The problem is that whatever the brain perceives as a threat to its survival, these responses or habits will automatically kick in and can be unhelpful, especially when the danger is not imminent. These habits can become unhelpful and are not beneficial to our mental health. You may not be aware this is happening and by exploring what is going on for you, we can focus on what lies beneath your feelings of anxiety and/or depression and access your stress responses.

A great example is in times of vulnerability you may want to protect yourselves using behaviours like avoidance and isolation which are not helpful to you in the long term. By allowing yourself to be vulnerable I will show you how to invite compassion and self-care into your life. We will both work collaboratively with being open and genuine, accepting and empathetic. As you become more mindful of how you think, feel and behave, you will feel more at ease in your decisions.

About me and my therapy practice

I offer a free 15min phone consultation

Counselling is available: Face to face and online

each session is 50mins or 90mins

Its a collaborative, safe and open environment, governed by the Bacp ethical framework and my core therapeutic model.

I am an Integrative Counsellor, who tailors therapy to a client by using different models. As I believe we are all different and a one cap fits all approach in therapy doesn't allow space for individuality, nor acceptance of difference and diversity.

I work privately with individuals, couples, groups and with agencies or organisations.

My first session

First Session will be an Assessment

Where I ask questions about your background, family dynamics, how life has been for you, what your finding difficult now and goals for yourself in therapy. This gives an overview of how you are feeling and the support you need.

As you know moving forward in life can be very difficult and we often get stuck due to traumatic and or painful events that have happened in our lives. In therapy you can unpack, accept and make peace with the past and start living your life in the way you have designed for yourself.

Making sense of your world is paramount in reducing, stress, anxiety, depression and low moods.

Living the life that makes you happy, you will find is not dependent on others, but fully dependent on you choosing YOU.
