My name is Anji, and I am an experienced, qualified psychotherapist and counsellor based in Markyate, Hertfordshire. I am empathic, caring and curious and use these qualities, alongside my comprehensive training, as the basis for my work. Alongside private practice, I work for an Employee Assistance Provision (EAP), providing short-term counselling to staff within the NHS. My passion is for psychodynamic psychotherapy. This way of working allows us to investigate and understand long-established patterns of behaviour that may be making life difficult for you now. We all have reasons for our thoughts, feelings and behaviour - and reflecting on these creates the basis for growth, self-acceptance and resolving internal conflicts. I am also trained in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which is a solution focused therapy, concentrating on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours impact on your overall experience of the world around you.  I will tailor our work together to best suit you, focusing on current difficulties as well as long-standing issues. Counselling and psychotherapy offer you the chance to reflect in a safe, non-judgemental and supportive space, and to help you to shed some light on thoughts and feelings that may feel very dark.
