My services
I offer counselling to individual clients from 18 years of age to more mature clients. My client group are people of any gender representing various walks of life and nationalities. My private practice is located in Queen’s Park, where you can meet me face to face. Alternatively, if you prefer online counselling, I am happy to meet with you remotely via MS Teams, Zoom or WhatsApp. All you need is internet access.
As I mentioned earlier, many of my clients seek counselling following sexual abuse, which can be an event that happened recently, or historic abuse that took place in early childhood. While working with survivors of sexual abuse and violence, I use Person Centered approach combined with a trauma model. The trauma manifests itself in many ways that have a detrimental effect on a person’s life. Often it can show itself in relationship problems, low self-esteem, unhappy home and family life, depression, loneliness or anxiety.
Through my work experience and training, I gained skills and knowledge to help my clients not only to understand how their trauma impacted their brain and body but also to equip them with coping techniques to manage symptoms such as panic attacks or anxiety.
While working with trauma I integrate a variety of techniques including Internal Family Systems (IFS), parts work, or somatic interventions such as tapping. I also use EMDR to help my clients to treat Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex Trauma. This technique uses side-to-side eye movements, which helps reduce the emotional impact of distressing memories.
I offer short-term (6 to 12 sessions) and long-term counselling for individual clients who are suffering anxiety, panic attacks, depression, problems with sexuality, trauma related issues, relationship problems, anger, and stress. The length of the therapy depends on the areas you would like to explore, and it is up to you to decide how long you would like the therapy to continue.

About My Services
Areas I work with


Listening
What to expect at your first visit
The initial session will be an opportunity for both of us to get to know each other and ask questions about the therapeutic process and decide whether we could work together. In this first meeting I would like to ask you about some aspects of your life in order to gain a better insight and understanding of your issues and to understand what your expectations are. Having this knowledge will help us to identify areas that are the most important to you and also choose the best way of working together.
