COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY IN FINCHLEY, GOLDERS GREEN, AND NATIONWIDE ONLINE
Welcome
Sometimes in life we face problems that can feel just too big to manage alone
About me
In addition to my private practice, I have a broad and diverse background in supporting both adults and young people across a variety of settings.
I have worked as a Palliative Care and Bereavement Counsellor for Rennie Grove Peace Hospice, providing compassionate support to families and patients in the community, as well as offering end-of-life support within the Inpatient Unit.
My experience also includes long-term trauma work at DENS homeless shelter, solution-focused therapy at the North London Psychotherapy agency, and counselling young people as a Place2Be therapist in a large, multicultural secondary school.
This wide ranging experience has allowed me to develop a holistic approach to therapy, addressing a wide range of emotional and psychological needs.
My extensive training and qualifications, include a BACP-approved Diploma in Integrative Therapeutic Counselling and continued professional development training in a range of areas including anxiety, bereavement, family estrangement, attachment, trauma, self harm, eating disorders, homelessness, substance misuse, mindfulness, and creative approaches to working with both young people and adults.
I have volunteered and completed extensive bereavement training and accreditation with Cruse Bereavement, a charity that supports bereaved individuals in the UK.
Before training to be a counsellor I worked in both the corporate and charity sectors. I have a wealth of professional and personal life experience that has shaped me as an individual and has equipped me with an understanding of life's difficulties and challenges. I value the importance of fairness, embracing difference and diversity, and treating everyone as equals regardless of background, culture, or gender.
I offer integrative counselling and psychotherapy and tailor each session to your unique needs. Recognising that everyone’s experiences, challenges, and goals are different, I adapt my approach to provide the most meaningful and effective support.
This flexibility allows me to draw from a variety of therapeutic models, including Person Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Attachment focussed Therapy, Internal Family Systems and Transactional Analysis (TA).
I value the importance of keeping up to date with the latest research and findings in mental health and integrating this knowledge into my therapeutic practice to ensure it remains informed and effective.
