Íø±¬ÃÅ

I currently have availability for face to face sessions on Tuesdays in Balham, South-West London and I am based in Holloway Road, North London on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays (Mornings and late afternoons) 

Holidays are discussed in advance I am usually away for 2 weeks during the main holidays, Christmas, Easter and Summer. 

I work relationally, creating a safe and non-judgemental space for individuals to explore emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties. 

I believe the work is a co-creation where conscious and unconscious patterns can be explored in the room, to facilitate self- understanding, create meaning and enable change. 

The process of talking with another means that you are not alone with your thoughts, and when looking at matters together it can clear a pathway to help you make sense of life when it becomes a struggle, particularly when grappling with overwhelming feelings of grief, dilemmas around identity, depression and loss of who you are when faced with these dilemmas. 

My underpinning theories are: Psychodynamic, Person-Centered/Existential, and Cognitive behavioral therapy. These theories enable me to look at matters through different theoretical lenses, without undermining the humanistic quality of the work.   

I work within the guidelines of the Íø±¬ÃÅ ethical framework. Everything we discuss is confidential unless I think there is a risk of harm to self or others, this would always be discussed with you before discussing it with other parties. 

I work with a supervisor who facilitates support in the work we do, and to ensure that we are working safely. 

Sessions are 50 minutes and will be held in the same space, at the same time and day for consistency. I would have to be informed of cancellations with 24 hours notice prior and you will be charged if I am not informed. There is some flexibility as emergencies happen and things come up but this can be discussed as and when it occurs. 

I offer long term and short-term sessions, this can be discussed in the initial assessment as we explore goals and objectives. 

The assessment is an opportunity to explore what is going for you and to clarify what it is you would like to focus on in our time together. It is also a way for me to formulate what your current needs are and how to proceed with the therapy. 

The assessment also gives you the chance to see if you feel happy to continue working with me and to ask any questions that you may have regarding the process. 

It costs £50 and is an hour long, this can be done face to face, online or over the phone.
