The role of a therapist is to help people to explore their problems and work through them in a supportive way. The aim is always to help a client to gain new understanding and help them move forwards.

This usually involves exploring a client's immediate circumstances and feelings, and thinking about past events and how these might affect the present. Sometimes, it can be helpful to explore dreams and more loosely associated memories.

In this way, I help people address feelings of depression, anxiety or stress related to relationships, family, work, cultural or societal expectations, health issues, sexuality, identity and abuse.

As a starting point, I offer a free consultation by phone to explore your situation, get a feel for what it will be like to work together and to answer any questions you have. This is always a very open conversation with no expectation or obligation to work together.

The next step is to meet face-to-face or online for two or more assessment sessions, to think together about what you want to get from therapy and to help us decide if I am the right therapist for you.

If we then decide to work together, we will meet weekly in-person at my consulting room in Shoreditch. I also offer the opportunity to work remotely via phone or video call depending on your circumstances.

We can work together for a fixed amount of time or on an open-ended basis, depending on what we mutually agree will be most helpful.

If you would like to explore how psychotherapy could help you, please get in touch for an initial conversation.
