Counselling
There are many reasons why people turn to counselling for help. With the increasing pressures of everyday London life, psychological distress is not uncommon. Counselling can offer the surroundings you need to discuss your issues without prejudice, and with the guidance of a qualified counsellor you can take back control of your life.
I am a Senior Accredited Counsellor with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and a United Kingdom Registered Independent Counsellor (UKRCP), and hold Diplomas in Counselling from the University of Westminster, Birkbeck College - University of London and the Institute of Counselling.
As an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist, I am able to offer you confidential and non-judgemental support in a safe environment, where together, we can begin to explore whatever is troubling you. Counselling does not involve giving direct advice, but through a professional relationship involving caring, listening, and prompting, aims to help you untangle your thoughts and to identify and connect you with your true feelings.
Through this period of discovery, counselling will help you develop insight into your problems, and find answers which you feel are right for you, rather than what people expect you to do.
Counselling will also help improve your self confidence and feelings of self-worth. As a result, you will gain a better understanding of who you are, be able to look at your life in a fresh, new light and bring about the changes you desire.
I am comfortable working with a range of issues that include, but are not limited to:
Depression and Low Self Esteem; Bereavement and Loss; Relationship Counselling; Anxiety; Abuse and Self Harm; Work-Related Issues; Cultural Issues; Stress; Identity Issues and Panic Attacks.
The initial session which is an assessment, lasts one hour.
The subsequent sessions on a weekly basis, last 50 minutes.
