Accredited Member of the BACP
Counsellor in Kentish Town and Old Street

Are you distressed, anxious or depressed? Or just feeling that you would like things to improve? If so, then maybe counselling can help.

On this website I explain some of what I, as a counsellor, can offer. I hope you find the answers here to any questions you may have. If not - please feel free to contact me and ask.

I am a fully trained and qualified person-centred counsellor, accredited as a therapist with the BACP. I have been working as a counsellor since 2002.

"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change."
Carl Rogers - Therapist and Founder of the Person-Centred Approach

Why Counselling?

All of us can benefit from having a space to talk with someone who listens without judging, allows us to express our feelings and helps us to find our own answers. Sometimes friends and family aren't enough and we need a counsellor or therapist.

As a counsellor I provide a safe space where you can explore your life, talk about anything that is troubling you, face a crisis or make a life-changing decision in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment. The aim of counselling is to empower you to enhance your life and to live it more fully.

There's a lot more to counselling than non-judgemental listening. Counselling is a psychotherapeutic practice based on tried and tested psychological principles. To learn those principles I trained for 3 years to obtain my diploma in counselling and then practised for nearly 4 more years to obtain my accreditation.


I work in a person-centred way, which means that I work from a deep respect for you and who you are. I believe that you can find your own path and your own answers, my job is to help that process. I will not tell you how to live your life!

Counselling is a therapy that can take place either in an exploratory open-ended way, or in a focussed way on a specific issue for an agreed time period.

I work with you as a whole person, so can help with most issues.

I have extensive experience of working with: Trauma • Depression • Eating Disorders • Anxiety • Sexuality • Anger • Workplace Problems • Bullying • Bereavement • Abuse • Personal Development • Family Issues • Step-Families • Self-Esteem • Divorce • Stress • Relationship Issues • Addiction and many other issues.

Locations

Approaching a counsellor that you've found on the Internet can be unnerving if not outright scary. I understand that, so I work in counselling centres where there are other people around at all times, one in Kentish Town and the other near Old Street and Moorgate to the East of The City of London.

Counselling in Moorgate/Old Street: I have a counselling practice in the Old Street/Moorgate area, East London. Easily accessible from the City of London and parts of East London such as Moorgate, Liverpool Street, Shoreditch, Bethnal Green, Finsbury, and Whitechapel.

Counselling in Kentish Town, Camden: My other counselling practice is in a counselling centre in Kentish Town, Camden, North London. Easily accessible from parts of North London such as Archway, Hampstead, Highgate, Tufnell Park, Belsize Park, Holloway and North Central London.
