Hello, I'm Candida.
Oscar Wilde famously advocated, 'Be yourself, everyone else is taken'. Wise, witty words but at times complicated to implement.
Therapy is about beginning a safe conversation with our often painful thoughts and feelings. It offers a place to begin, gently, to unpick the knots. A space for distress to find a voice and for that voice to be heard. When words become tricky, clients can also usethe studio art materials for a more embodied experience. Stretching our creative muscles can offer profound access to unconscious material, bringing it into the light. The more we understand our patterns, our behaviours, our fears, our hopes, the greater agency we have; and from this the increased potential to celebrate and enjoy 'being ourselves'.
I am London based and work in central London, EC1, in North East London N5/N19 and Homerton, E5.

Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
