ABOUT ME!
Welcome to my counselling practice. I am a therapist based in Colliers Wood, South West London, offering support to individuals who are navigating emotional challenges, relationship struggles, and a range of common mental health difficulties. Having gone through my own personal journey of emotional growth, I understand how daunting it can be to take the first step towards therapy. Reaching out when you are feeling vulnerable takes courage, and I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can explore what is going on for you.
In our work together, we will explore how your emotions, past experiences, and internal beliefs shape your relationships and daily life. If you often feel unsure of yourself or find it difficult to connect with others, we can begin by exploring the relationship you have with yourself. How you see, treat, and speak to yourself plays a big part in how you experience those around you. It can shape how safe you feel with others, how much you trust, and how you respond in close relationships. By understanding these patterns, you can begin to build a more secure and compassionate connection with yourself. From there, it often becomes easier to feel more confident, grounded, and open in your relationships with others, not by changing who you are, but by reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels steady and true.
I also work with people facing a wide range of common mental health challenges, including generalised anxiety, social anxiety, low self-worth, depression, grief, and other stress-related difficulties. These experiences can leave you feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that are hard to shift. Together, we will explore what might be behind these struggles and work gently towards change, helping you feel more at ease both in yourself and in your everyday life.
I offer a client-led space, which means we go at your pace and focus on what feels most important to you. There is no fixed path or pressure to be a certain way. My role is to walk alongside you, helping you make sense of difficult thoughts and feelings, and supporting you to develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and relating to yourself and others.
My Approach
I work in an integrative way, drawing on both Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches. This means we will spend time exploring how you are feeling in the present, while also looking at how your past experiences may be influencing your current emotional world. By making sense of what you are going through and where it may come from, you can begin to understand yourself more fully, shift long-standing patterns, and feel more in control of your wellbeing.
