I believe that discomfort is often a call to change, telling us our current way of living is no longer working. 

 

Sometimes we are forced to adapt to find better ways of managing our current situation. Change is complex and building bridges is challenging to tackle alone: I will walk alongside you, while together we figure out what positive change can look like for you. 

 

Whilst I work with a broad range of concerns, I have a particular interest in  women's issues from young women finding their way in the world, juggling career choices, family and relationships to maturing women struggling to realign during that unsettling period of adapting to changes such as  children leaving the nest. Changing career status, relationships breaking down, baffling hormonal menopausal issues or feelings of loss and bereavemen can affect us deeply, leaving us with a sense that life and happiness beyond feels uncertain and insecure. I have personally experienced many of these life changes and needed, of necessity to reinvent myself numerous times in adaptation to my changing landscape. I know how difficult being at a crossroad can feel and how helpful it is to have support through this unsettling time. It may sometimes seem that there are no choices or too many choices to make. There is, however, always a choice and through compassionate exploration, we can strive to find your best pathway forward. 

I have extensive experience working with NHS staff struggling with the pressures of work and family challenges, particularly during the current COVID-19 pandemic. I also work with childhood trauma; anxiety; self-esteem concerns; life changes and adaptations; bereavement; depression and general relationship issues.

Developing self-esteem, confidence and finding out who you are, is often a pivotal feature of the therapy. 

 

*Please contact me if I haven’t covered your particular concern but you feel that we might work well together. 

 

I offer adult (21 years+) online and in-person short-term and long-term therapy from an easily accessible, comfortable consulting room in the NW6/NW2 area. 

Current Availabilty: Online appointments available; In-Person availability is currently suspended
