Counselling & Psychotherapy
in City of London or via Skype

My Approach

I believe that having a good trusting relationship with your therapist is quintessential before any meaningful therapeutic work can occur. For this reason, my style of working is being sided by side with individuals at a pace that suits them and my professional approach is compassionate, warm and down to earth.

Whilst my academic training is Integrative, I have also completed a three-year PGDip in Attachment Studies. This means that I can help you gain a sophisticated understanding of your own personal attachment style and how affects you and your past and current relationships.

Experience

Whilst I have a wide experience helping people from all different backgrounds including from sexual and ethnic minority groups, my experience comes mainly from working for almost a decade in private practice and also offering my services as a Psychotherapist at UK's most popular NHS sexual health, contraception and HIV care clinic in the heart of Soho.

Qualifications

BACP Accreditation and Registration

I am also committed to continuing professional development within the field of psychotherapeutic work.

I am fully registered and accredited by the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which means that I abide by the ethical principles and guidelines laid down by the largest governing body who regulates the practice of Counsellors and Psychotherapist in the UK.

Sessions via Skype

Skype Therapy can be a preferred option for dealing with all issues where a client decides that face to face therapy is not an option for various reasons. Skype Therapy can also provide with more flexibility for people with busy schedules. The sessions, same as face to face, are 50 minutes in length on a weekly basis at a time agreed between ourselves. Please note that to gain the maximum therapeutic benefit, weekly sessions are recommended.

Is Skype Therapy for me?

Skype Therapy is NOT SUITABLE for those who are at risk of suicide, in acute crisis, or are known to suffer from a mental health issue; there are certain limits as to what a therapist can do remotely. In such cases, please contact your GP directly. This should always be your first port of call. If you found yourself in such a difficult situation and you were considering seriously harming yourself, it would be vital to seek the relevant immediate help. This could include contacting again, your GP, or your nearest accident and emergency service (A & E). You could also call the Samaritans on 116 123 from the UK or email [email protected]
