About me and my therapy practice
All the experiences we encountered since childhood have shaped our beliefs system and play a big part in the way we relate to others and ourselves. Counselling offers the opportunity to review unhelpful thinking patterns while holding a space where you can find your own narrative and give meaning to your struggles. Counselling is a process that facilitates inner discoveries and enhance self-awareness. Counselling can be of invaluable support in getting in touch with inner needs, wants and desires.
I am a Íø±¬ÃÅ registered Counsellor specialised in Mental Health Issues and Trauma. I belong to the accredited register recognised by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care.
I possess more than 20 years of working experience in Mental Health throughout a variety of settings such as NHS, MIND Org., Drugs and Alcohol for London, Carers Centre as well as EAP and Universities.
I am trained in Gestalt, CBT, Person-Centred, Trauma therapy and NLP. I have an integrative approach to therapy as I believe that you are the expert of your life and my role is to bring different tools at different times, tailoring them to your needs accordingly.
My therapeutic approach is Humanistic-Integrative and Solution Focused. In fact, I use different creative tools in challenging unhelpful thoughts, beliefs, and destructive patterns of behaviour.
My mission is to empower individuals in reaching their full potential by facilitating the process towards self-awareness and self-compassion.
Practice description
Within my professional practice I demonstrate sensitivity to individual differences when working with clients of diverse ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and cultural background, treating all people with unconditional positive regards and respect.
I provide a safe non-judgmental space where you can talk in confidence about any issues that is troubling you. Day-to-day life can be challenging and you may end up feeling overwhelmed, stressed, confused, anxious or experience a loss of hope. The process of talking and offloading your stresses in an environment where you feel truly heard is extremely healing.
Updated DBS check to further ensure protection form harm and foster trust.
​Seeking help can be a daunting experience for many and it is important to acknowledge how brave you are for wanting to take this first step.
​
I provide a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for individuals of diverse ethnicity, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation and cultural background.
​
My therapeutic approach is Holistic, Humanistic and Integrative. This means that I combine different therapeutic styles like Gestalt, CBT, NLP, Mindfulness and Person Centred according to your individual needs.
​
It will be a great honour for me to take part in your unique journey towards recovery and self- empowerment.
