About Me
I am an experienced systemic psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families in-person in Walthamstow and online.
Why Therapy?
When we are struggling to navigate life’s difficulties, therapy can offer us a space to reflect on patterns or dynamics which may be feeling painful or stuck. For individuals, therapy can be a place to explore feelings of low self-worth, anxiety and disconnection, and to make space to process overwhelming or confusing emotions, and experiences of grief or loss.
For couples and families, therapy offers a space for people to develop a greater understanding of each other, both when someone is experiencing mental health difficulties and in the context of general relationship distress. I have a particular specialism in working with people who are parents, and who are struggling to maintain a positive relationship in the face of the stresses of family life.
My Approach
My approach is appreciative and strengths-focused. Whether you are coming as an individual, a couple or a family group, I offer a warm and non-judgmental space to explore the complexities and dilemmas that you are facing.
Experience
In my statutory role I work with parents and children who are navigating family life in the context of mental health and relationship difficulties, often alongside severe intergenerational trauma. I have extensive experience of working in children’s social services, child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and NHS adult mental health settings. In addition to my clinical work I run groups for parents and carers whose children are violent towards them and I teach and supervise social workers and trainee psychotherapists.
Contact
I offer a short initial chat on the phone to see if we are a good fit to work together. You can email me at [email protected] to organise a time to speak.
