Self Esteem Counselling in West London, London

Life can get really difficult sometimes – we may know why we’re finding things hard, but we may not and that's OK too. Through therapy we can explore what’s happening for you and find the way through together. We can look at what’s on your mind and what it’s like being you as well as the role your past might have played. We can go at your pace and you’ll decide what you want from coming to see me. I work sensitively and respectfully with all ethnicities, cultures and sexualities. I offer both long term support to clients wishing to explore their feelings in depth and short-term work if you’re wanting to address a specific problem.

Hello. Do you struggle with stress from; work, relationships, or parenting? Are you overwhelmed, worried, depressed, stuck, or low in self-esteem? You are not alone. Does your need to be perfect upset you or take up too much time? Is a trauma, threat to your health, an illness, a major loss or death hurting you? It doesn't have to be that way. We help people like you understand your distress, learn new skills for managing uncomfortable emotions and thoughts, improve relationships, and find meaning and focus. We're Clinical Psychologists (HCPC), with >10 years of experience delivering effective therapy to kids, teens and adults.

In my experience every client comes to therapy with a unique set of life circumstances. Sometimes these contribute to personal and emotional problems which can feel overwhelming or even insurmountable. Often, it is at this point that a person reaches out for professional help. They may identify that low mood, negative thinking, stress or relationship problems are impediments to living a good life and they will want help to restore healthy self-esteem, confidence, balance and self-worth. Often clients are looking for a supportive, non-judgmental, compassionate and caring professional to guide them on their journey to wellbeing.

I am one of a small number of practitioners in the UK who is dually qualified as a chartered psychologist and a clinical sexologist/sex therapist. My clients may seek help for a specific sexual difficulty such as desire or arousal concerns; or may experience broader distress such as anxiety, low self esteem or perfectionism which also manifests in their sexual and relational world. My specialist interest in sexual difficulties emerged naturally from my interdisciplinary background of psychology and physiology.

I work with a range of clients who are exploring questions of meaning and identity and seeking ways to live a more fulfilling life. Many of the clients who come to me are feeling overwhelmed and are looking to make changes in their lives, but do not know where to start and often have never had enough emotional support or space in which to explore their process and the recurring patterns in their life. Together, we work to understand issues such as anxiety, depression, a lack of motivation, authenticity, loss, or low self-esteem and look for a path to healing and growth.

Counselling offers a unique opportunity to freely express your thoughts and feelings in a safe, non-judgemental space, which is confidential. I can help with General Anxiety disorder, self esteem, confidence, depression, relationship issues, self harm, or just feeling uncomfortable in yourself. I can help you to acknowledge and value yourself, feel that you are not alone, and support you in finding a way through a difficult time.

Do you suffer from counterproductive, intrusive thoughts? Are you critical of yourself, ignoring your achievements and strengths? Do you struggle with self-confidence and believing in yourself? Perhaps, you strive to make changes to your life, but no matter how hard you strive, you find that the same thinking patterns and responses occur to you repeatedly. You may find yourself stuck, or returning to lacklustre, even toxic relationships. You may find that you struggle with your self-image, whether physical, financial, interpersonal, spiritual or social.

I’m a qualified therapist experienced in supporting individuals who identify as LGBT+ in addressing issues connected with self-esteem, self-worth and acceptance. I can help you address issues that are causing you emotional pain, giving you cause for concern, or making you feel uncomfortable. Whether you may be confronting difficult situations, facing challenging decisions, or healing from old wounds. My style is to encourage clients to speak in openness and confidence about difficult topics and emotions.

Maybe a particular event, crisis, or relationship has brought you here. Maybe you don't have a clear reason but feel frustrated or despondent or simply sense that something is 'off'. Whether you feel your difficulties are specific or vague, together we can look at what brings you to therapy and what needs to change so that life is more manageable and enjoyable. My style is warm, engaging, and I practise in a sensitive and thoughtful way. I have completed a rigorous training and I am a fully qualified integrative therapist. Alongside general practice, I specialise in supporting clients who work in the creative industries.

1 in 4 people are diagnosed with a mental illness each year in the UK. Indeed, 1 in 6 report to be living with anxiety and depression. As a mental health counsellor, my areas of expertise include a sound understanding of depression, self-esteem, anxiety and stress. If you feel that you are struggling with life's load or have, low self-esteem, a persistent sadness, burnout or other emotional strain and need someone to talk with, I offer a non-judgemental approach to listening. Integrative counselling describes my overall modality and provides the basis for the format I use in developing a therapeutic relationship with clients.

I believe that anyone can benefit from counselling sessions time to time. We all need space to be heard, validated and feel safe to be able to tell our stories. Counselling with me can be that space. Over the years I have provided emotional support and guidance to the clients with issues like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, low mood as well as difficult childhood memories, PTSD, panic attacks etc. The main aim of the sessions is to give you opportunity to express your worries and feelings in a safe and non-judgmental environment.

Life can be tough sometimes and we can easily find ourselves stuck in cycles of unhelpful thinking or behaving. My aim is to help you to become unstuck and access a healthier, happier version of yourself. You may not know exactly how or why things aren't working, so an initial assessment can help us to figure this out together. I believe that we all possess the knowledge and resources to address our problems - I see my role as helping you to unlock this knowledge, access these skills, and acquire some additional tools along the way.

Do you find yourself not saying or doing what you really want to out of fear for what other people would think? Do you struggle to make decisions, overthink and second guess yourself? Do you struggle to communicate your needs or experience lack of confidence in any area of your life? Do you feel that you have repeat cycles in certain areas of your life and you feel stuck? If so, I can help you work through these. I support you to find your own unique voice, self esteem, overcome long-standing confidence issues and break through those repeat cycles.

Everybody is different and special, but has in common the need to be heard, recognised, valued and understood. As a fully qualified BACP registered person-centred counsellor trained at the Metanoia Institute those four things are at the heart of my practice. Whatever your worry, concern, or difficulty, sharing what is on your mind and in your heart in a safe space is the start of healing and self-acceptance.

As a people pleaser, you are used to putting others before yourself. People often describe you as the Nice Guy/Girl and often confide in you with what they are going through but you don’t really have the someone to do the same for you. You often feel lonely, lost, unappreciated and unseen. You wonder when will I be seen and appreciated for all I do and who you are? When will I find someone to help me as much as I help others. What if that could all change?

I will teach you strategies to set boundaries confidently while maintaining compassion and kindness. You deserve to navigate life with confidence, authenticity, and grace, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
