A bit about meI have worked as a counsellor and psychotherapist in North West london for the past 12 years. I am also a lecturer in Counselling and Psychotherapy at university and supervise other therapists in private practice.
One of the things I value the most about meeting with you is the fact that you are engaged in exactly the same activity as me - trying to live as fulfilling a life as possible and sometimes seeming to struggle with that in different ways that are unique to us as individuals.
I offer a warm, friendly and understanding environment where you can feel safe to talk about what is troubling you and discuss the various ways counselling will help.
All therapists make a personal commitment to self development and continued training while they practice. What continues to motivate me in my work is the deep respect I have for people like myself, who meet with the struggles of what it is to be human.
In terms of evolution, we are on this earth for what amounts to a tiny amount of time, and yet face enormous pressures from many different angles to get things right. The learning curve is so steep that we falter and often end up judged as a consequence. There is an expectation that we should just know how to cope. I value the fact that the people who come to see me are engaged in a struggle which I share - We have different experiences and face different challenges and life episodes. I feel privelidged to be able to help.
