About me and my practice
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. In our sessions, we will work collaboratively to explore the challenges you're facing, identify your strengths, and develop effective coping strategies. Your journey is unique, and I'm committed to tailoring our sessions to your individual needs and goals. I will assist you in making your own decisions and help facilitate a better understanding of yourself and your situation. With a background in bio-med sciences, I'm aware of potential risks associated with prolonged use of anti-depressants, such as SSRIs. I believe, a combination of medication and talking therapies can effectively address anxiety and low mood.
I offer 50 minutes weekly counselling sessions, face to face in Harrow, and across the UK over Teams(video sessions) and telephone.
To find our more, message me to arrange a free 20 min chat via phone or a video call over Team. We can use this time to see if we would be a good fit and to let you get a feel of what I'm like. There's no obligation to go forward after this chat.
If we decide to work together you will agree on a day and time that would be convenient for future sessions. These will take place on the same day and time each week, unless agreed otherwise with me.
Like in all therapies the regularity of the sessions and the commitment made towards your own improvement is crucial. This is why you will be asked to attend weekly therapy sessions.
It takes a lot of courage to reach out and share your feelings and challenges. I'm here to listen and support you in any way I can.
Experience
As an integrative counsellor I work with a diverse range of clients from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, and those struggling with common mental health issues as wells as clients presenting moderate to complex cognitive challenges, such as high functioning autism and ADHD.
I also have extensive experience of working with caregivers of neuro-diverse children and young adults, as well as those caring for patients or loved ones with Alzheimer's in a community setting.
I have helped clients with wide range of challenges, such as depression and low mood, obsessive disorder (OCDs), stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss, coping with life changes, career difficulties, academic challenges, Carer's issues, childhood trauma, attachment issues, motivation, self esteem and confidence.
The foundation of my approach rests on valuing the significance of your feelings and emotions throughout our collaborative journey. Just as physical discomfort alerts you to address its source, our emotions indicate underlying issues that require attention. I will support you in delving into and comprehending these feelings and emotions, which often underlie and at times are the source of your unease or distress.
As you gain deeper insights, your adeptness at managing these emotions will improve, empowering you to navigate challenging decisions with greater ease and make well-informed choices.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I look forward to working with you.
