About me
"I just want to talk about everything that is going on...!". "I want to be happy". "I am looking for a place to vent". "Some days the world is too big". "I do not know what is happening to me". "I am sad". "I am anxious". "I am stressed". "Work is too much". "I feel lonely". "I have a problem with my partner, friends, children, teachers, family, work colleagues...". These are some of the things that I have heard from friends, relatives, colleagues, and clients over the years when they are looking for a different point of view or extra support in their life.
I am an Integrative Psychotherapist with over 16 years of experience (8 years in the NHS) working with individuals, couples and families who present with different life circumstances: Low mood, anxiety, stress, depression, identity issues, PTSD, OCD, life changes, death, Neurodiversity problems, relationship and/or family problems, "life" guidance/support.
I believe that the therapeutic relationship is paramount in a good outcome in therapy. We will work in this mutual alliance, and I will use the tools and skills I have learned and developed over the years to tailor them to your needs. We can have an initial 15-minute conversation to get to know each other and decide whether you want to continue working with me.
