Islington Counselling / Psychotherapy, Holloway N7, Highbury N1 & Kings Cross N1 areas. Are you Looking for a qualified and accredited counsellor in Islington, North London?

Hello, welcome to my website



Since the pandemic I am now mainly offering FaceTime, zoom and Skype and WhatsApp video sessions with a limited availability of face to face sessions.
These times that we are living in and life experiences both historic and current may have created anxiety, depression or thoughts and feelings that are difficult to be with . Talking with a counsellor about these issues can help to give some respite from the intensity and from feelings of being out of control.
I have been able to reduce my fee for online work to £35 per session for individuals and £50 for couples. There doesn’t always need to be a long term commitment as sometimes just a few sessions can be all that is needed.


I am a mature counsellor, psychotherapist offering counselling and therapy in Holloway N7, Highbury & Islington and Kings Cross N1 areas of North London.
There is disabled access to the building and it is very close to Holloway Road, Highbury & Islington and Archway tube stations. I also have another practice close to Kings Cross in N1.

I am an experienced and qualified British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registered and accredited counsellor and I can be found on the approved national register, click here for(BACP). Through working with people referred by their G.P. for many years, working in different settings and in private practice for 24 years my experience is both wide and diverse.

I offer both short and long term counselling in Islington, Holloway N7, Highbury and Kings Cross N1 areas to individuals and couples Monday to Friday, and my fee for an initial consultation is £30.

Looking for a way through problems and difficulties?

At some point in life it's usual to feel that the problems and difficulties we experience feel like being stuck in a maze which can be difficult to find a way out of. They can feel overwhelming and often our relationships don't seem to offer what is needed in terms of support.
Speaking to a counsellor, whether its for the first time or coming back to it after a break can feel like a big step to take. An initial consultation is an opportunity for us to meet each other, maybe find out more about counselling and decide whether you would like to take things forward from there. 

 

It is an important step to find the right fit, to feel a connection and safe with a counsellor you choose to work with and if you would like to have a quick chat before the first session I am happy to do that if it could be helpful/useful.

I am experienced in sensitively helping individuals and couples navigate their way through difficult and problematic life situations both present and historic in a safe, confidential and warm environment. I will engage with you and listen to whatever you bring with empathy and without judgement.

The therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is key to the possibility of change and moving towards desired goals .A collaborative effort that can help to realise and address issues and difficulties that are getting in the way of fulfilment and achieving potential.

My approach/way of working as your counsellor is essentially humanistic, holistic and person centred, yet at the same time I am working integratively with each individual or couple in a way that could be particularly useful to them.

These are some of the areas in which I specialise and can benefit from counselling:

  • Abuse - emotional, sexual, physical or bullying

  • Family Issues
  • Work related problems
  • Domestic violence
  • Mid life crisis
