My Approach

I am aware that each person is facing a unique combination of difficulties and my intention is to offer the right space where you can explore what is troubling you. I aim to build an authentic therapeutic relationship, to promote your independency and accept you as you are.

In this regard I follow a Person-Centred Theory which is a variant of the Humanistic Approach. This means that you are at the centre of the work. I, therefore, value your individuality, respond to your unique needs and empower your full potential. This process will lead to therapeutic growth, new ways of coping and improved wellbeing which will open a pathway towards becoming an independent person, able to rely on your agency and autonomy.

Through my work at the Hackney Recovery Service, I gained extensive experience around drug and alcohol addictions together with general addiction behaviours.
I am specialised in PTSD, trauma, domestic violence and sexual abuse.
I am also well prepared to offer comprehensive support services to clients from a variety of backgrounds with a wide range of needs:
• Anxiety and panic attacks
• Depression
• Suicidal thoughts
• Loneliness/isolation
• Relationships issues
• Going through divorce
• Low self esteem
• Identity crisis
