Individual Therapy
Now is the time...
If you are reading this, there is most likely something you wish to change about your psychological and emotional life. Psychological therapy can have a transformative effect on how you feel about yourself and relate to others. Difficulties in our emotional life can show up in different ways, for example as depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship problems, psychosexual problems, emotion regulation issues, attention problems, eating disorders, obsessions and compulsions. These and many more symptoms can be addressed with talking therapy.
One the of hardest parts of change is acknowledging that a change is needed - You have already taken this step. The second step is finding a therapist that can support and facilitate change.
In individual psychological therapy, I aim to foster an environment for clients to make long lasting change that will benefit all aspects of their life: Relationships, internal self-esteem and their work. While it can be daunting to explore the past, I offer a safe, confidential and judgment free space to explore the past -both in it's good and bad aspects, to help clients understand themselves in the present, and work with them to find new, more adaptive ways of coping in the present and for the future.
If you are considering making change, don't delay. These feelings are your unconscious urging you to address a problem, resolve a conflict, to change something. Delay only avoids the issue, prolonging or exacerbating symptoms.
To take the next step, please get in touch. I will endeavour to see you within a week. I offer free initial consultations via telephone or video.
I see clients face to face in different London locations across the week. Please contact me to find out more.
Individual sessions are £100 for 50 minutes.
How I work
As a Counselling Psychologist, I am trained in multiple models of evidenced based therapy and I integrate these depending on the needs and goals of each individual client. The main models drawn on in my work are below.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Often our current behaviours and feelings are being driven by internal conflicts that are outside of our awareness- our unconscious. Psychodynamic approaches focus on uncovering the unconscious through exploration of the past, including childhood experiences, and past and current relationships to make sense of the present and resolve repeating patterns of feeling and behaviour that are distressing.
CBT
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and third-wave CBT approaches, including Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) manage and alleviate symptoms in the present. Focus is given to the interconnectedness of feelings, thoughts and physical sensations and therapy supports the alteration of negative thought patterns in order to influence and manage emotions.
Body-Oriented Psychotherapies
Body-oriented psychotherapy is premised on an undeniable connection between mind and body. These approaches to therapy pay special attention to how emotions present in the physical body as these can provide insight into unconscious emotional experiences, increase self-awareness and the articulation of emotional states, form and strengthen personal boundaries, and improve integration between brain regions. Interventions include breath-work, guided meditation, and movement.
