About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I am a Psychotherapist (UKCP accredited) working with individuals promoting mental wellbeing. My practice in Canary Wharf is a 3/4 min walk from West India Quay and Westferry DLR stations. I also offer sessions online/virtual via Zoom. I will work with you to make meaning of your internal struggles to understand them better by identifying their root causes. This is a collaborative process where I will provide you with a safe, non-judgemental space to explore your inner world and presenting issues. I believe strongly that therapy is a two-way process between client and therapist. Together we will design the therapeutic journey that is best suited for you. My role is to work with you to identify the most helpful shifts in thinking or behaviour to understand and often manage your feelings, and support you in the process of making changes. We may agree simple tasks or thinking to be done between sessions. I am a member of the BACP and UKCP. I have experience of working as a counsellor at MIND (the UK's largest mental health charity). I have also worked at a psychiatric hospital where l was part of a multidisciplinary team working with personality disorders providing complex care.
