Counselling in Holloway and Stoke Newington

There are times in life when it is difficult to cope. We can feel stressed, alone, and confused. This can be the result of a recent event, complicated early experience, or simply losing control of a hectic life.
There is a lot of evidence which demonstrates how Psychotherapy/Counselling is effective in helping people through these periods resulting in improved insight, self worth and an improved quality of life.

What happens in a counselling/Psychotherapy session?

As a Counsellor and Psychotherapist I provide a confidential, non-judgmental space to talk. I am interested to hear about your present and past experience as well as your hopes for the future. Over time it is within the security of this relationship that you can untangle some of your most distressing thoughts and feelings safely in your own time.

Counselling does not provide magical solutions, it cannot change the past, however my experience has shown me how it can lead to greater awareness, increasing confidence and self worth, resulting in a richer and more fulfilling life.

How do I choose the right Therapist/Counsellor?

Choosing the right therapist/Counsellor is very important. You must feel that you trust the the person and have a sense that you will feel safe enough to talk about what is distressing you most. This will make the whole process more comfortable and effective. I suggest that you look through my website.If it resonates with you, feel free to contact me with any queries.
