ABOUT PSYCHOTHERAPY
Psychotherapy offers the opportunity to discuss your concerns in a safe, confidential setting, with a trained professional who will ask questions, make observations and help you explore your situation without judgement or shame. Many people find that it is a relief to talk openly with someone who is not a family member or friend and it can be a transformational experience.
Sessions last 50 minutes and take place once a week at a regular time. You are welcome to contact me to discuss your situation without obligation and to arrange an initial session.
I see clients for face-to-face sessions in Hackney and Finsbury Park and I also work online.
MY APPROACH & QUALIFICATIONS
I offer a respectful and confidential space in which to explore your life and talk about your current concerns. I will not give advice or judge you, but listen carefully and attempt, through my questions and reflections, to help you make sense of your situation and identify opportunities for change.
I obtained my Masters Degree and an Advanced Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling at The Minster Centre, where I now teach. As an integrative psychotherapist and counsellor, I have been trained in a range of theories and approaches which I incorporate into my work. In practical terms, this means that I see every client as an individual and seek to find a way of working that feels right for each one. Some of the approaches and theories that influence my work are: existential, Jungian, humanistic, psychodynamic, attachment and relational.
I have worked with clients of different ages and backgrounds, including many whose first language is not English. These are some of the issues that I have had experience of dealing with: life transitions, divorce, bereavement, relationship problems, understanding family dynamics, anxiety, depression, loneliness, identity issues, feeling different, life crisis, low self-esteem, desire to understand dreams.
I am also a clinical supervisor and work with individuals and small groups. For further information about supervision, please visit my BACP profile.
