if a way to the better there be, it exacts a full look at the worst (Thomas Hardy)
I am a qualified and UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working in Stoke Newington N16 and Islington N1. I am also a full member of the BACP.
I imagine, reading this, that you are feeling something that is getting in the way of things. Maybe you are sad, angry, anxious, low, lonely or feeling something that makes it difficult to like yourself or others. Sometimes we don’t have the words to describe what we are feeling, although we do know we want to feel better.
My experience has shown me that talking through these things with someone trained to hear them (and respond to them) in a particular way can often be hugely helpful. It won't “cure” you, and cannot erase a painful past, but it can equip you to move on with greater ease, and even with a greater potential for further positive change.
As well as my private practice, I work at a counselling service in Newham. Until May 2008, I worked as a psychotherapist and counsellor at a University Counselling Service and in an NHS Psychotherapy Service.
I have a particular interest and experience in working with women who have experienced a loss in pregnancy or a struggle with fertility. I am involved with the work with the Miscarriage Association, and am a member of BICA (British Infertility Counselling Association).
I hope my other pages here help you to find out more about me, and about how I may be able to help you. Feel free to contact me with questions that remain un-answered.
