Personality Disorders Counselling in Central London, London
With 23 years of clinical experience, including 14 in the NHS, I specialise in anxiety, depression, and personality disorders.
Valuing Your Subjective Experience : Your emotional well-being is important. Life’s challenges and past experiences don’t have to define your present or limit your future. By understanding and shifting unhelpful patterns, meaningful change is possible. Our past shapes how we see ourselves and the world, but negative thoughts, difficult emotions, or outdated beliefs can hold us back. Stressful experiences may resurface, making current challenges harder to manage. Remember: your past does not define you. You have the power to overcome barriers and create a more empowered, fulfilling life.

I am an experienced psychologist who specialises in personality disorders. In other words, I offer therapy to adults who present with long-standing and significant relationship problems and emotional issues, which contribute to either having very turbulent relationships with others, or result in avoiding people all together. If such relational dynamics persist, they are bound to make us feel anxious, depressed or numb. My passion is to help others make sense of and release dysfunctional patterns in relationships, to build emotional resilience, and to have more fulfilling connections instead.

I welcome clients that are neurodivergent, and with personality disorders.
Looking for a therapist can be a daunting experience, especially if things are tough for you right now, but you have taken the first step! I have experienced many times, both as a counsellor and personally in therapy, how people begin to feel less burdened and overwhelmed in their life when they feel really heard and accepted without judgement or criticism. I believe that the counselling relationship is a collaborative and dynamic process, and I am always receptive to feedback, as it can shape the dynamic between us. I feel that therapy can be proactive, and not just reactive. I have no expectations on what we speak about.

Offering adults therapy and psychological assessment in the centre of London and online. I think that every person’s therapy journey is different. Some people need skills and coping techniques to help deal with things in their current context. For others it is important to address the underlying psychological mechanisms that give rise to the problems or symptoms at different points in life. For some it is important to address childhood origins of problems so that they can break free of repeating, destructive life patterns. I want to help people find the journey that is right for them.

It can be very difficult to find a way through our troubles alone. Therapy is rooted in sharing and understanding, making sense of life, the elements that make up your personality, and carving space for who you really are. You might be feeling depressed or anxious, living your life passively in the face of your unrelenting patterns. Perhaps it's work or your relationship, a general dissatisfaction with yourself or a past that keeps haunting you. It might be something completely different. Whatever it is you know that being heard, putting feelings into words, and having a real connection can help.

Personality Disorders Counsellors
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specialises in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
