I am an integrative psychotherapist providing heartfelt therapy and fertility counselling in South Norwood, South East London, and online. Feel free to get in touch. My particular expertise is in: Anxiety Career Change Depression Grief Infertility Life crises and transitions Postnatal mental health Pregnancy I am an integrative psychotherapist (MA, MBACP Accred., NCPS Prof. Accred.), in private practice as a Fertility Counsellor for AccessCounselling.co.uk The aims of therapy are always client-led and my emphasis is on creating an empathic, safe space for you to nurture self-awareness, explore, resolve or reconcile with troubling or distressing feelings and experiences. My way of working is based on the belief that our early relationships shape how we see ourselves and others. I also believe that people have the capacity to grow and heal when they feel understood and supported. In our sessions, I aim to offer empathy, honesty, and a non-judgemental space, so you can explore your experiences safely and at your own pace. I work in a holistic way to honour mind and body connection. I am a qualified yoga teacher and, where appropriate, I integrate techniques, including breathwork and guided meditation, to help clients manage symptoms, such as heightened anxiety or panic attacks, and create a space where clients feel they can explore their body's cues safely. These techniques can also help to provide people with the space and mind-body connection that helps catalyse deeper self-exploration and discovery in talking therapy. I have particular expertise in working with people experiencing perinatal mental health issues, fertility issues, depression, anxiety and somatic distress. However, where I feel I can have positive impact, I am open to working with anyone who is experiencing difficulties.
