I'm a Relational Gestalt Psychotherapist. I provide a warm, open, non-judgemental space for exploring my client's experiences, creating a safe space and building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship. I draw on trauma-informed practice and anti-oppressive practice, and somatic practice theories. I value exploration of what emerges in the here-and-now experience. I believe human health and growth happens in relationship, with support, and when we grow in awareness and are able to better integrate our experiences. I offer both short-term counselling and longer-term psychotherapy.

I work with individuals and couples, supporting deeper connection and understanding.
My approach is experiential; helping you feel closeness in the room and take practical tools home.
If ongoing couples therapy feels hard to commit to, I offer full or half day intensive workshops focused on topics like love languages, intimacy, touch, communication, and conflict repair. A powerful option for couples wanting meaningful change in a short time.

I work with couples navigating the complexities of intimate life: conflict, disconnection, communication, trust, and the quieter question of whether a relationship can become what both people need it to be.
My approach is warm, attachment-informed, and grounded in slowing down reactive patterns to understand what sits beneath them - the emotional meanings, earlier experiences, and unmet needs that often drive disconnection.
I draw on EFT, Gottman, narrative approaches, and psychodynamic principles, tailored to each couple. I work with all relationship stages and warmly welcome LGBTQI+ clients and diverse relationship structures.

You may be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, emotional intensity, or difficult life experiences. Perhaps you are navigating trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges, or patterns that are affecting your wellbeing and daily life. Many people seek therapy when they want greater clarity, emotional balance, and healthier ways of responding to stress and relationships. Some feel stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve them, while others are facing significant life changes. My aim is to provide a calm, respectful space where we can explore what is happening in your life and develop practical strategies to support your wellbeing.

I support adults from Asian and migrant backgrounds who are navigating relationship challenges, family pressure, identity, and belonging. You may find it hard to express your needs, set boundaries, or feel like you truly fit in with family, friends, partners, or social circles.

Find that talking about your struggles in therapy hasn’t led to the change you were hoping for—or that symptoms have persisted despite previous treatment and immense effort? You are not alone. I use evidence-based approaches that go beyond talking to address symptoms at their root, prioritising a strong therapeutic relationship and safety throughout the process. I work with people aged 18+ experiencing PTSD and complex-PTSD, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, panic, relationship difficulties and dissociation.
