Hi my name is Shem I'm an integrative psychotherapist registered with the UKCP. I work in person and online, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches and interventions to support clients in living a life guided by their own unique values and to achieve their goals with these values being the compass for action. I meet each client as the unique individual that they are, I provide a confidential non-judgemental, protective safe space where you are encouraged to voice your struggles and concerns honestly and authentically. Therapy is about making sense of your internal world and to develop a greater self-awareness which allows you to form more meaningful connections with your self and with others as you become more open and aware of your patterns of thinking and feeling, what was implicit in you is nurtured to become more explicit, in this way you can develop more choice in how you relate to your self, others and the various situations in your life.
I have particular experience in working with anxiety, trauma, panic attacks, depression, anger psychosexual related difficulties and couples counselling / relationship issues.
Have been in working in private practice since 2012.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
