My Credentials

I am a counselling psychologist, registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have worked in the field of counselling and psychotherapy in London and abroad since obtaining my psychology degrees in 2015. Currently, I am training to become an Attachment-based psychotherapist.

My working experiences have taken place in private and public contexts. I have worked with children, young people and adults with a variety/broad range of emotional and psychological difficulties and I have extensive clinical experience of the following areas: depression, anxiety, social anxiety, panic attacks, stress, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), trauma and childhood trauma, suicide, loss and past and present relationship problems.

My Approach

My approach is integrative and draws on different therapeutic models such as psychodynamic and attachment theories as well as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and humanistic approaches. We will work collaboratively to understand which way of working best suits your current needs and goals. I have a warm and non-judgmental approach, which will help you to speak openly about uncomfortable issues and explore them in a safe and empathetic relationship.

I strongly believe that positive change can only be reached through a supportive, trusting and open therapeutic relationship and I aim to provide a safe environment to voice and explore your emotions and any difficulties that you might be experiencing.

Together, we will consider the cause of your problems and how they may be affecting your life, thoughts and feelings.  We will work on identifying underlying causes of symptoms and understanding your thoughts and feelings as well as what you are hoping to achieve from our sessions. This will help reflect on the issues and begin to make changes. Through therapy, you will learn new tools and strategies to cope with unwanted thoughts or behaviours, to manage symptoms, relieve stress, and face challenges.

The exploration of your early experiences and current situation will help me understand and feel more the world as you do. I consider the therapeutic experience as a collaborative effort as, even though I have expertise, you are the only expert of your own experience.

I believe that every person has the personal resources within to help themselves and they need to be offered the environment of acceptance to promote their own recognition of this.

About Me

In my spare time, I enjoy outdoors and socialising. One of my biggest interests is also travelling. I love visiting different countries and experiencing new cultures and environments. I am a pet lover and I am also interested in art, cinema, and photography. I consider myself a nice and friendly person, with a good sense of humour.
