About me:
I offer psychotherapy in Harley Street, central london and in Kensal Rise, North West London. I can offer concessions in Kensal Rise.
Consessions for students.
I am an integrative therapist. This means I believe that no single psychotherapy or counselling approach is significantly more effective than any other. They all have something to offer the therapeutic relationship. I can also offer Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy.

Theoretical approaches:
IntegrativeIntegrating knowledge and skills from different therapies: integrating the core values and assumptions underlying different approaches to counselling into a meaningful whole that fuses with the counsellor`s own personal values.
Focusing-Oriented PsychotherapyAn approach that aims to allow access to the deeper levels of awareness, wisdom, and self-guidance that
reside inside each of us. Through an easily learned, step-by step process, Focusing teaches how to turn our attention inside our bodies where we carry all our personal experiences, memories, sensations, emotions and feelings.
PsychodynamicPsychodynamic counselling focuses on unconscious processes and is derived from the work of Freud and later psychoanalytic theorists.
It uses the therapeutic relationship to gain insight into unconscious relationship patterns that have evolved since childhood. Memories and other evidence of early relationships are used to make sense of current concerns. Change occurs as clients become more aware of the influence of the unconscious (e.g. defence mechanisms, instincts and rules for life) on their behaviour.
GestaltA German word meaning 'form' or 'pattern': we look for and create meaning (and patterns and structures) in our lives.
In contrast to psychoanalysis and 'talk' therapies, Gestalt emphasises 'awareness of the here and now', of the body, movement, gesture, feelings and insights.
Gestalt therapists generally encourage clients to focus on present experience - thoughts, feeling, sensations, intuitions - rather than 'going off' into thinking about their past or the supposed origins of a particular issue.
HumanisticIn this approach the counsellor is regarded not so much as an 'expert' who knows more than the client, but instead as someone who is skilled in facilitating a process of self-discovery in another. The central belief is in the possibility for change and growth towards fulfilment of potential, in which the individual is self-aware and responsible for her/his own choices.
