Counselling& Psychotherapy
in Hackney and Bethnal Green, London

Welcome

I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor based in Hackney and Bethnal Green, registered with the BACP.  I provide psychotherapy in an open and receptive environment. Here you can compassionately explore your life difficulties, start to let go of unwanted patterns and open to new possibilities.

Your situation

You may find yourself unhappy with how things are and you want them to be better. Perhaps troublesome thoughts, feelings and behaviours are repeating over and over. It may be frustrating to consider that life is passing by and you are not making the most of it.

These are some common issues where I find psychotherapy is effective:

– repetitive patterns of anxiety, anger, depression or distress
– feelings of low confidence and low self-worth, a sense of not reaching goals
– trouble in relationships with a partner, family or friends, or finding it hard to form new relationships

How a psychotherapist can help

Psychotherapy gives you a chance to explore these difficulties.

A basis of mindfulness (paying attention to your experience of the present moment) provides stability and openness.

Often it is a welcome relief to speak openly to someone who knows how important it is to be heard and understood.

We listen to your inner experience and start to understand the burdens and repetitive patterns that have left you stuck, stressed or weighed down.  As you see these parts more clearly and compassionately, tensions can ease and allow a calmer and more harmonious experience.

Through our work together we aim to increase

– enjoyment in your day to day life
– feeling OK with who you are
– a sense of safety and security
– the energy to get on with the things that are important to you

The nature of this work and the time it takes will be different for everyone. We determine the pace and depth of work that feels right for you.

You can find out more about psychotherapy and my work as a psychotherapist by reading more on this website.

You can call (07909107447) or email (use the button on the right). I would be happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions that you may have, with no cost or commitment to proceed further.

You can arrange to meet for an initial consultation. During an initial consultation we can talk in depth about your situation and how we could work together to improve it. By the end of the initial session we will aim to agree if we would like to continue working together.

If we decide to work together, the ongoing sessions will be 50 minutes long and will be provided on a weekly basis.
