I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist who works with adults. Alongside my independent practice, I am the Psychology clinical lead in an Older Person’s Community Mental Health service. I offer individualised and integrative support to clients from a variety of backgrounds. I have experience working overseas and am available to provide services in Arabic.My approach to therapeutic work is to help and support individuals to ‘live the life they wish to live’, and to do so in ‘abundance’.

Would other people say that you’ve made a success of your life but you feel like there’s something missing? Would you like things to be different but have no idea what this would look like or where to begin? Perhaps you’ve realised that your trusted patterns of behaviour and coping strategies are no longer working for you, leaving you feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed. Events in our lives can leave us feeling uncertain about the future and questioning who we are and where we would like to go next. Counselling and psychotherapy offer the breathing space to make sense of your life and what you might like to be different.

I made the decision to train to be a psychotherapist because I saw it as a meaningful and compassionate way of understanding and helping others who are stuck, suffering or unsure of how they want to live.
Over 25 years later, I remain fascinated by the human experience, the meaning and value we try to ascribe to our lives, the ways we cope with loss, change, anxiety, confusion and uncertainty - and the endlessly inventive ways we find to protect ourselves (not always helpfully) from the many challenges life can throw at us.
I am based in Central London, Farringdon (EC1) and I work with clients both in-person and online.

Do you ever wonder why, despite everything going well in your life (e.g. you're in a good relationship, a successful job), something feels off?
I specialise in helping people with anxiety who are highly self-critical. Often, my clients describe themselves as intellectualisers, perfectionists and/or people pleasers.
You struggle to let go of control, to sit with your feelings, and set boundaries with people, but no one else would know because all your energy goes towards doing everything right.
This happens when we learned to avoid our emotions like the plague, and before you know it, your life is all about doing and achieving.

Sometimes we all need a safe space to slow down and connect with what's going on inside and around us, who we are, our experiences, and our hopes for the future.
You might be seeking therapy because you're feeling lost, overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself, whether this comes from people-pleasing, overthinking, cultural and societal expectations, or something else.
With me you'll find a warm and supportive space where you feel seen and heard as a whole person. Somewhere to explore with curiosity, learn more about yourself, and simply be, without pressure or judgement.

I help people find achievable goals encompassing psychotherapeutic tools such as speech analysis and problem solving, allowing for better ways of relating to family and friends.

I believe that every individual is an expert on themselves and that my role as your therapist is to help you feel confident and comfortable in that expertise. It is so common, now more than ever, for people to feel lost, to struggle with unresolved trauma, or to seek a deeper understanding of their life. Therapy can provide the safe space to enable an individual to explore these experiences and help to make sense of them.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
