Psychotherapy offers space to pause, listen inwardly, and encounter yourself in new ways. It is a collaborative process where careful attention and compassion create the conditions for change. With 15+ years’ experience, I specialise in humanistic-psychodynamic therapy and EMDR for adults impacted by ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, anxiety, bipolar, depression, grief, PTSD, C-PTSD, personality disorders, relationship issues, and more. My approach is compassionate and nonjudgmental. I offer sessions in Harley Street and online, plus rapid diagnostic assessments and reports for adult ADHD, accidents, injury, and trauma.
A registered and accredited member of the BACP, HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist, and Associate Fellow of the BPS, I work with individuals and couples. I am a graduate of Oxford University, Fielding (APA Accred), and trained at the Yale Medical Centre. I work with issues related to anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, and trauma & PTSD.
If you are looking for a private psychologist in Central London who specialises in ADHD assessments, EMDR, anxiety, ASD, depression, grief, and relationships, I warmly invite you to reach out to me. Together, we can embark on a transformative path towards growth and resilience.
