Our Therapists

You have a reason for being here today, and you are not alone. We have times in our lives when the feelings of distress, anxiety, depression, or even no feeling at all, cause us to stop functioning as we would and should. It may have been childhood issues troubling you for years, even forming part of your distinctiveness, or it may have happened suddenly due to a bereavement, abuse, relationship issues, family, work, or just life itself. At such moments, it is helpful to talk to someone who would listen, understand and is equipped with the right skill to enable you to address your problem meaningfully and unlock your tenacity. I am here to offer you that supportive and safe space that you need to work towards a positive change. I have extensive work experience within NHS, volunteering with agencies, private practice, and pastoral counseling setting

Since stress affects most of us at some point in our lives, it’s useful to recognize when you are under stress, what could be causing it and what you can do about it.Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand/threat/pressure, whether the experience is good or bad. Many things cause stress, and having the ability to identify your own stresses can be the first step in learning how to cope/deal with them. It is normal to experience stress and stress is quite beneficial for motivation during certain times when needed. It’s ok to have a bad day, and it’s ok to have a bad week (depending on the circumstances). The problem occurs when prolonged stress is present and a person feels unable to cope because our bodies are not designed to deal with huge demands (physically and emotionally) on a daily basis. I look forward to working with you.

Overwhelmed and finding it difficult to move forward in life? I offer space to explore your personal and interpersonal experiences to help you find a way to live happily and meaningfully.
