It can be seen as a healing process by which a psychotherapist helps a client learn about the 'self' that he or she has perhaps been unconsciously and unsuspectingly concealing, primarily from himself or herself.

Psychotherapy & Counselling Service
in West & North-West London

Welcome to West & North-West London Psychotherapy and Counselling Service for Individuals, Couples and Parents and Infants.

All of us experience emotional difficulties in our lives and often we are able to address them on our own or with friends. However, there are times when some difficulties remain profoundly unsettling, confusing and seemingly offering no conceivable way through. People, at these times, may seek help through psychotherapy or counselling.

I work with a wide variety of people and the concerns which they bring often include:

  • Depression, feelings of emptiness and a sense of sadness or dissatisfaction
  • Extreme mood swings
  • Difficulty in making or sustaining relationships, or repeatedly becoming involved in unsatisfying or destructive relationships
  • Persistent anxiety and feelings of stress or an inability to cope or concentrate
  • Concern that they might be suffering from antenatal or postnatal depression
  • Worried that they may have an eating disorder
  • Anxiety and concern as a parent about your baby’s feeding, sleeping or excessive crying.
