Inner Voice Therapy 

Welcomes You

Screenshot 2019-12-26 at 10.49.22.png

Inner Voice Therapy offers high-quality psychotherapy in the North London area of Parliament Hill. Sessions can take place face-to-face here, or online. In therapy, you will find a non-judgemental and soothing space that can provide you with a vital pause; a time to reflect and re-evaluate what is going in your world. 

 

Life is too short to be unhappy, unsure, or unfulfilled. I help my clients break through the obstacles that seem to be holding them back, and develop better ways to handle the issues that are standing in the way of their goals. My work aims to introduce clarity and self-motivation. I also teach techniques to better manage the emotional stress of everyday life.

Approach

Having trained as an integrative therapist, I work with a variety of therapeutic approaches such as psychodynamic, humanistic and DBT (Dialectic Behaviour Therapy).

 

I have years of experience working in the educational and private sectors, as well as the NHS, across a broad range of issues. These include anxiety, depression, panic attacks, eating disorders, suicidal ideation, dissociation, cross-cultural issues and relationship difficulties.

Home: Short or Long-Term Therapy?

Many people I meet suffer from low self-esteem, feelings of shame, difficulties in regulating themselves, and/or a lack of purpose and creativity. But we are all much more than an accumulation of diagnoses and symptoms; my integrative approach allows me to tailor the therapeutic relationship to reflect the uniqueness of each client and their worries.

 

I believe therapy can activate the potential everyone has to move forward. It can provide a short-cut to help you discover a more peaceful way to be; it is about making you feel better. This might not happen immediately, but through a regular review process, we make sure we stay on track to help you make the changes you are hoping for.

Short or Long Term Therapy?

Here are some aspects to help you think about which length of therapy might be suitable for you:

Short term therapy (5-10 sessions)

This might be suitable for you if you find yourself in a crisis or situation which is causing you particular difficulties. You might have a distinct issue you would like to work on, such as:

• relationship issues

• making a decision

• work-related problems

• loss and bereavement

Short-term work is useful to clarify a problem in a supportive environment, find coping strategies and explore your options and needs for further support.

Long-term therapy (10+ sessions)

If your objective is to get to the bottom of some deeper issues (for instance you would like to explore repeated relationship difficulties) or have several different issues you'd like to approach, longer-term therapy might be for you. 

People who find themselves in long-term therapy usually want to change core behavioural patterns which often requires steady and consistent work.

First Session

Our first session is an opportunity for me to assess your difficulties, and to find out what changes you are looking to make.

As we go through the lifespan, we are often faced with various challenges such as understanding our past experiences, processing our present situations, planning for the future - or all of the above!

For you, the first session is a chance to see how therapy can support this process. You might like to prepare a list of questions: or indeed, just come as you are! Both are equally welcome. By the end of our time together, you should be in a position to decide if you would like to work with me.

Subsequent sessions

On deciding to work together, we will agree on a weekly slot. Sessions last for 50 minutes and are of course strictly confidential. I offer short-term (10 sessions) as well as long-term (open-ended with regular reviews) therapy.

My therapeutic style is down to earth, authentic and grounded in an understanding of the importance of relationships. I help my clients explore their stories with the aim of freeing them from old habits and fears, and facilitate meaningful transformation. 

I welcome people from all backgrounds and ethnicities, sexual orientations and genders, ages, religions and classes. I strive to be sensitive to all the issues - both individual and cultural - that people from various backgrounds encounter in this world. I offer therapy in English and German.

For six years I was Head of Counselling Provision of a Sixth Form in a London secondary school, andI still work with young people now. I am also an associate of DBT London where I work with adults and young people, using the DBT approach. Before the pandemic, I ran a regular therapeutic group for adult inpatients at my local NHS Hospital Acute Assessment ward. I also co-facilitate an outpatient day DBT programme for adults with BPD at the Nightingale Hospital which is the only private adult mental health hospital in Central London.
