About me
You may feel overpowered by your circumstances and seek support, guidance, reinforcement and a hand to hold on to as you deal with the distress. Some of you may seek quick symptom fixes, some want to share your struggle with loss (relationship, job, finances, health, other causes) and some of you may seek deeper understanding of your experiences.
A common thread in all of these is the need to get complex issues contained and regain one's ability to cope. Some of you may have a clear idea and seek specific help from therapy. Some of you may not have a clear idea but you are heightened to the distressing elements in your life for which you seek help.
I have 12 years of clinical experience as a psychotherapist & counsellor and a 20-year corporate stint. I have worked as a psychotherapist in various complex care NHS units (Secondary Care IPTT- South London & Maudsley, Ealing- Early Psychosis Intervention and CAMHS-Harrow Child & Adolescent Mental Health Services). I also was a High Intensity CBT therapist at NHS units of IAPT Harrow, IAPT Westminster and IAPT Ealing, have a 6-year counselling experience with MIND Enfield and Mind Brent, Wandsworth & Westminster services and couples therapy experience at NHS SLAM. I am trained at Oxford in Enhanced CBT with Trauma, Psychosis & Bipolar and Child & Adolescent Therapy as my specialisation. Various modalities and psychotherapy tenets have shaped his competencies and skills repertoire, and I have a strong predilection to Existential Phenomenology, CBT and Psychoanalysis. I also conduct workshops for Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I am also an Executive Coach and an ardent blogger (Https://headstride.co.uk.
