Issues and problems I can help you with:
I have a great deal of experience of working with a wide range of psychological,
emotional and behavioural issues, and personal challenges encountered in life, business,
and sport -
• Work Related Stress / Boredom / Procrastination / Overwhelmed / Burnt out
Working therapeutically with people in London from many different backgrounds and careers, work related stress, boredom, procrastination, feeling overwhelmed and burnt out, are common experiences. Symptoms of the pressures of living in today's hectic society. Every day we are under pressure to work longer, harder, sacrifice more of our lives than ever before in history. Coupled with this is our increasing reliance on high speed communication technologies, mobile, laptops, iPads, all keeping our minds constantly active. Often our work / life balance and self care is neglected. Learn quick and effective ways of regaining the balance in your life.
• Insomnia / Sleeplessness / Sleeping problems
Not being able to sleep and insomnia is another common problem that I regularly receive
enquiries about. Sleep problems and insomnia are often accompanied, and amplified
by worry, and the inability to settle and relax the mind and body. Lack of sleep
can cause a range of problems with the mind and the body -
• Anxiety / Panic Attacks
If I were to ask you how you are feeling today on an 0 -
• Fear / Phobia / Aversion
Fear is one of our primordial emotions we inherit genetically from our early ancestors,
as human beings we are wired to be cautious and vigilant against potential threats
in our environments. From an Existential perspective, we tend to avoid thinking about
our own potential injury, suffering, and inevitable bodily death, such uncomfortable
thoughts and emotions are often relegated to the subconscious / unconscious mind
to be worn like a shadow that is difficult to turn and face. Phobias are often the
result of negative / traumatic experiences in our pasts that have created a pattern
of thinking and behaviour, that is triggered by a particular stimulus or environmental
context. Maybe your are thinking about this right now as you read this. Whatever
your fear / phobia -
• Life Crisis / Breaking point
Everyone has their breaking point, and life crisis can come in many forms in a lifetime,
for example: Feeling lost, stuck, and not knowing what to do with your life. Sudden
loss of employment, the prospect of marriage, divorce, or the death of a friend or
a loved one. Facing the reality of sudden illness, disability or disease, or our
own inevitable death. Perhaps you have been struggling with the kind of life you
have been living for some time, and feel that you have come to the end of your tether.
If you feel you are experiencing a life crisis, or feel you are at breaking point,
why not drop me an e-
• Frustration / Jealousy / Anger / Aggression
Emotions such as frustration, jealousy, anger, and aggression are often seen as destructive emotions, and yet they are also important as they exist to alert us when we perceive something is wrong, or alert us to situations where our needs or desires are not being met. Often in working with emotions such as frustration, jealousy, anger, and aggression, what is found is that these emotions are founded on particular beliefs, perceptions, and assumptions. One of the main factors in how we cope with these emotions, is where we lie on the continuum of either being emotionally under controlled, or emotionally over controlled. Whether we are able to express our emotions effectively or actively suppress emotions, which often only serves to amplify and strengthen the destructive emotions that are projected onto others and the world about us.
• Low Moods / Sadness / Depression
Low moods, sadness, and depression it seems are a modern day pandemic. The root cause of these often disabling moods, is the modern day pressures of living in an increasingly uncertain world. A world that is increasingly portrayed as being bankrupt and divided. Every day the newspapers and television programs vividly reminds us of the precarious nature of life on this fragile world of ours. Depression is
• Grief / Loss / Bereavement
Grief, loss, and bereavement are inevitable in life, such times often provide a reality
check in relation to what we feel, think and believe. Elizabeth Kubler -
• Relationship Problems / Loss of Intimacy / Communication / Conflict Resolution / Mediation
At the centre of our lives are our relationships, whether good ones that bring us joy, bad ones that bring sadness, and indifferent ones. I know that I have had my share of relationship problems, however, isn’t this how we all gain experience. At the core of my counselling and therapeutic work with relationships, often lies issues around communicating clearly about our feelings and our unmet needs.
• Gender / Sexual Attraction / Sexuality Concerns / Sexual Problems
One area of human relationship that is often difficult to speak about, concerns issues
in relation to gender, attraction, sexuality, and sexual problems -
• Isolation / Loneliness
In a world that is growing in population by a approximately one billion people each year, with many people choosing to live in densely populated areas, as with London, where the population is edging towards 8,000.000 people. Yet in the heart of our great civilisation people often dwell in isolation and loneliness. The reason for this is often
• Lack of Confidence / Stage Fright / Performance Anxiety
Lack of confidence is another human experience, that often holds people back unnecessarily. Lack of confidence is often a learnt / conditioned, it is developed over time by avoiding certain situations where we feel we cannot do things successful, where we feel we have a lack of mastery.

• Eating disorders / Anorexia / Bulimia
To begin addressing eating disorders like those of anorexia and bulimia you should start by consulting your GP, who will be able to give you a full health check and talk to you about treatment options. The underlying psychological factors that drive obsessions with body image and issues involving the control of emotions are diverse, and often have their roots in early childhood.
• Obsessive Control Disorder (OCD) / Repetitive behaviours
Obsessive Control Disorder (OCD) has become part of our everyday language, perhaps because everyone can experience times when we feel particularly dependent on doing certain activities repetitively. However, for around 3% of the population unwanted repetitive thoughts and behaviours, such as checking for example, become a problem in every day life. OCD usually becomes apparent between early adolescence and early adulthood, and effects men and women equally. After exploring how your obsessions and compulsions function in your life, and their meaning, we can then begin to…
