Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I am a qualified, experienced, and UKCP registered Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, working in Stoke Newington N16. These pages aim to tell you a little about how counselling or psychotherapy with me may be of help to you.

I am committed to de-mystifying the work that I do. Talking therapies can be hard to understand from the outside and often have a reputation for being aloof. I also think they are often misrepresented in print and broadcast media too. There are also so many types of therapies, it can be overwhelming to know what's best for you. I welcome an open dialogue about what it is I "do" and how I believe the process may be of benefit.

If you've made it this far, I imagine 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 good enough words to describe what we are feeling, but we do know that we want things to change.

My experience has convinced me that talking about your concerns 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 painful past experiences, but it can equip you to move on with greater ease, and even with a greater potential for further positive change.

If you want to see what I look like, there's a vaguely recent photo of me on the page, "counselling with me".
