I have over 13 years of experience working as a therapist in Central London and my private practice has moved entirely online in response to the global pandemic. Over the years, I have gained experience working in different organizations in the UK, including helping minority ethnic groups and the LGBTQI+ community on the NHS.
Being a Certified Cyber Therapist, by the Online Therapy Institute, means I am fully trained in carrying out psychotherapy sessions online ethically and responsibly.
Among my patients, are people with permanent residence in the UK or other parts of the world and I also frequently work with digital nomads, who need a flexible approach to be able to access to Psychotherapy from anywhere in the world.
Psychotherapy is a process of facilitating psychological change for people who, for some reason, cannot do it by themselves in a particular time of their lives.
During the initial meetings, I would like to understand what is becoming unmanageable for you and have the opportunity to get to know you a little bit. As well as your presenting difficulty, do not shy away sharing other aspects of your life, including your current and or past experiences, significant relationships you had in the past, what do you like, your interests, your aspirations. My aim is to provide you with a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported and understood.
Although I am humanistic and work integratively, I have a particular interest In Attachment Studies, which means I can help you gain a sophisticated understanding of your own attachment style, which I view a vital component to help you improve your relationship with yourself and others.
