Dalston & Stoke Newington Therapy

If you have found yourself here, the chances are that you are looking for the answers to some questions you might have about yourself? Perhaps you seek to discover why you have always had certain thoughts or behaviours that get in the way of your life. You might be here because anxiety / depression or just “not feeling right” prevents you from doing what you want to do. Psychodynamic counselling with me is often the first step in supporting you with a non judgemental space to think about and consider what might be causing you this discomfort. Your decision to engage in therapy in order to make sense of yourself and attain a deeper understanding about what is going on for you is the first step to helping you live the life you deserve.

How therapy enables us to live the life we deserve.

I understand that choosing a counsellor can feel overwhelming so I have made the process as simple as possible for you. First off, you can email me for an initial free chat, to see how I can help you. No obligations.  If you decide to go ahead, we will discuss a weekly time slot that works for you. Just so you know,  I practise psychodynamic therapy, which essentially helps you to understand how experiences in your  past can impact your life now. Eventually, with weekly therapy sessions, you will gain a new understanding of yourself. It’s a weekly commitment to yourself and your wellbeing.

How do I start the therapy process?

First things first: how about we arrange an informal chat, to briefly think about the help you are seeking and if you have any initial questions that spring to mind.

If, after the chat, you decide to go ahead, we will arrange an initial session, which will last for 50 minutes. This time will allow us to meet – either online or in my lovely purpose built therapy rooms in Dalston Or Stoke Newington and figure out if we can both work together. During this time you can ask questions and decide if therapy with me is right for you. We will discuss what brought you to therapy as well as gain an understanding of your past experiences.  If you decide to move forward with this, we will arrange to meet every week at a time to suit you.
