Profile
I am a qualified, experienced and accredited integrative counsellor, currently working for a counselling agency and in the private practice in SW18 area. I offer individual, one to one, long and short term therapy for adults. Throughout my working experience I have worked with a wide range of clients’ issues. My integrative approach means that I draw upon different psychotherapy and counselling approaches to fit individual client’s needs.

Why consider counselling?

 There could be various reasons behind considering counselling. You may be concerned about making decisions, coping with crises and difficult transitions in your life or perhaps you may be experiencing bottled up feelings such as anger, anxiety, grief or shame which can become very intense and overwhelming. Counselling offers an opportunity to explore them. Through working therapeutic relationship where I will relate to you with integrity and respect, my aim would be to understand what it is like for you to be met with difficulties in life. Through support and constructive challenges in a safe and caring environment I can assist you to explore difficult feelings and concerns and discover new perspectives and make changes in your life if that is what you choose to do. I believe that counselling can be a way of reducing confusion and it can help you to discover inner strength and gain better self-awareness so you can lead more rewarding and fulfilling life.
