Always Thinking Counselling

*** Currently taking on new clients ***

I am a fully qualified counsellor,  offering local, face-to-face sessions. I have evening appointments which are convenient if you are working, as well as day time. 

At the moment I have availability on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

I also offer after school sessions, on a Tuesday at 4.00, 5.00 and 6.00pm. And on a Friday at 4.00pm. These are good times for teenagers to attend counselling after school.

And I have day time availability on a Tuesday and a Friday.

I am a psychodynamic counsellor offering in-person private counselling in Enfield in North London.

I have an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and am a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I offer face-to-face counselling in well appointed therapy rooms in Enfield Town. I build trusting cooperation with my clients so that we can both learn from the work we do together.

I have spent the last ten years working with agencies, charities and privately in North London and Hertfordshire.

I work with adults and with teenagers from 13 years of age and have built long, open ended relationships with my clients.

I worked for a bereavement counselling service through the Pandemic, so have experience of deep and sudden loss. I have developed an understanding of depression and feelings of worthlessness and can help to alleviate these feelings. And having worked with teenagers, I think we all have very intense feelings and challenges.

While I mainly work in-person, I also offer on-line sessions. Please contact me for further details.

As a psychodynamic counsellor I have the greatest curiosity about you, your family and your early experiences, as these experiences make us who we are. Counselling represents a second chance, to examine these experiences and to do some re-evaluation. The defences we build up from our infancy may not serve us well as adults and young people. We may want to adjust some of these early defences so that we can manage better, in the world. Counselling offers a safe place to do this, and to go at a pace that suits you, the client.

As a counsellor I provide a container and a non judgement space, to safely explore anxiety, depression, loss and disappointment. Clients often arrive exhausted by their attempts to try and avoid very difficult feelings. Therapy offers a unique space to allow those feelings to unfold, without being engulfed or overwhelmed.

The repetition of a weekly session provides the safety to repeat this process until you can build up the confidence to manage these feelings yourself.

I offer a non chargeable initial session, the first difficult step. As this space is for you the client, we will start to identify the main themes that you wish to work on. I believe, as a psychodynamic counsellor, my approach can bring us to an understanding of ourselves and the unconscious processes that drive us.

I can work with anxiety and depression, low confidence and low self esteem. I am an experienced bereavement counsellor and can work with clients who have experienced trauma, abuse and family break down. I have a particular interest in those living with long term health conditions.

The first step is to reach out and make contact. It can be hard to know where to begin, so I offer the first session to start to think together and begin to work together.

Do get in touch for more information.

The initial session together is non chargeable so that we can explore what brings you to counselling now. Please make contact and we can make arrangements. You can then decide if you are happy to carry on. The number of sessions is for you to decide. I do make long-term relationships with my clients and it is always worth working towards a planned ending to counselling.
