About me
As a Counselling Psychologist I can integrate different interventions and therapeutic approaches, including CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy), Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Schema-Focused Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. These have been found to be effective with a wide range of symptoms and can be employed for short, problem-focused work or for longer-term psychotherapy. My aim is to empower you and enhance your self-awareness, to help you develop effective strategies for addressing problematic issues and to be more fulfilled in life.

My counselling and psychotherapy practice is within easy reach of Kilburn, Queen's Park, Shepherd's Bush, and West Hampstead's underground stations in North and West London.
