Integrative Therapist
Online and in-person therapy in Islington, London.

Given that you are here possibly looking for help, it may sound odd to say that I’m glad you’re reading this. Of course, that’s not because I want you to struggle, but because it says that you are making the first steps towards confronting whatever challenges you currently face. For many of us, that takes courage, to make the decision to go inward and explore what is going on for us. 

​

People come into therapy for many reasons. It may be because of things that happened many years ago that are still affecting your quality of life today, or it may be something recent. It could be a vague feeling of life slipping you by through to a trauma that has left you feeling completely overwhelmed and unable to cope, or countless other circumstances that are as unique and individual as you. ​

​

I believe the therapeutic experience and the relationship between client and counsellor is unique. The focus is solely on you, without agenda or intention beyond hearing and helping you.

​

Trust and understanding are therefore essential, to balance and allow for the vulnerability and depth that often comes from our time together. Working together, you are free to bring your whole self. Developing a trusting relationship and being aware of what is happening between us is vital for effective therapy.

​

We will work on understanding the situation that you need support with and look at how it is impacting on your life. We can identify patterns and themes, and discover how to change them. Talking therapy can improve your self-awareness and insight, and in doing so, help foster a better relationship with self and others.
