I am a London-based UKCP and BACP accredited Integrative fully qualified Psychotherapist. I am also a trained coach so weave these two skills into my practice. I specialise in relationships – the most critical being the relationship we have with ourselves, but also our partner, siblings, parents, our children, friends and work colleagues. I also specialise in helping people in highly demanding jobs. I used to work in corporate consultancy and so know first-hand the stresses of such an unforgiving career. Thus, I am more likely to ‘get’ the struggles of what it is like in your role.

My clients often describe feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted by trying to keep everything together. They may notice recurring patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, or burnout and want to break free from them. They’re looking for evidence-based therapy that’s practical and supportive — a space where they can make sense of what’s happening and learn new ways of coping. Their goal is to feel more confident, present, and in control of their emotions and choices.

Some people come to therapy with specific issues they want to address; others arrive with a more general feeling that life isn’t quite as it should be. Everyone is welcome. Our first focus will be developing a shared understanding of how therapy can support you and what you hope to gain from the process. We’ll aim to uncover what in your current life might be getting in the way: patterns of relating to others, and to yourself.

The therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone of any work that we do. In this relationship you are given the space to speak freely. Through careful listening, creativity and challenge, you get to know yourself better. This includes understanding how you have become the person you are, as well as finding more clarity about where you want to go. The therapeutic journey allows you to see what patterns and unconscious beliefs you may feel confined by. This may relate to specific issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, low self-esteem or addictions, or it could be a general feeling of being stuck.

Therapy isn't just for working through complex issues—it can also be a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. In the fast pace of modern life—whether managing a business, balancing work and family, or navigating creative or personal challenges—it's easy to lose your footing. I offer a grounded, supportive space where you can slow down, gain clarity, and explore whatever's on your mind.

Certain life events, transitions, or longstanding struggles can cause our usual ways of coping to break down, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and extremely distressed. To continue to function, drugs, alcohol, food, self harm, sex, social media, a depressive state or abusive behaviour can be used to numb the distress or stand in for what feels missing. But this often leads to feelings of guilt, shame, anger or blame – whether of oneself or others. It can feel like being trapped in a loop of unsatisfactory or harmful relationships, or like reaching a dead-end, with confusion about finding a meaningful path ahead.

People often come to me when something in their sexual or relational life feels confusing, stuck or quietly painful. This might be conflict that keeps repeating, the sex and desire in a long-term relationship has shifted, there's infidelity, shame or coping behaviours that no longer feel in our control. On the outside we may be functioning well, yet privately struggling with intimacy, identity or connection. I offer direct, practical and emotionally attuned therapy that bridges psychological depth with relational clarity. I work in a clear, compassionate and direct way, helping you name whats happening rather than going in circles.
