Counselling
As we encounter life’s difficulties, we develop ways of coping that often take us away from who we really are. We may have grown up experiencing trauma, feeling shame around expressing ourselves or have been unable to find our voice and defend our boundaries. By the time we make it to adulthood, we look back and imagine that our childhood was okay, but we have blocked out all the difficult emotions. We think those feelings have gone away but later come to realise that they are eating away at us on the inside. We may have even forgotten what caused those feelings, but our body never forgets. It holds on to our anger, feelings of betrayal, shame and disappointment. In the end, we feel overwhelmed and sink into despair.
I see patients at a clinic in Holborn on Tuesdays from midday onwards and the rest of the week online. Individual sessions continue for 50 minutes in a conversational format. I charge on a sliding scale between £60-£75 per hour.
I am fully qualified and insured. I am a member of the BACP and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS).
