Perhaps there is a problem that is causing you worry, sleep difficulties and your stomach to churn. Or your life may have become more difficult due to avoiding certain situations or things. Perhaps getting out of bed in the morning feels too hard, or you have found yourself putting off going to bed at night. Maybe you had a horrible experience and the memories keep intruding on your life, making you feel jumpy or on edge. Or maybe you think your problems are small and you tell yourself off for being so affected by them. If things have been getting you down I can help.

I offer therapy to adults, young people, and couples. Counselling can help when we feel stuck, lost and overwhelmed and can’t find a way to make sense of those difficult feelings on our own. Speaking to someone who isn’t a friend or family member can help you to see a problem from a different perspective, without judgement or bias. You may be struggling with feelings of sadness, anxiety, stress, anger or loss. Perhaps you'd like to find the mental tools to help give you greater resilience and confidence. Or you could be looking for ways to manage conflict and improve communication within your personal relationships.

Experienced, fully-registered therapist with practices in Hackney and Marylebone.
People come to me for many reasons – depression, anxiety, addictive or compulsive behaviour, trauma, loss, family issues, relationship problems. Sometimes it's to navigate a life stage or make sense of one particular event or crisis; sometimes clients just can't seem to live life as they want to, or sometimes they don't know what they need.
My previous career was the arts and media so I often see clients with an interest in developing or exploring their creativity in some way.

I think we sometimes come to therapy not knowing exactly what it is that's causing us pain. Maybe we feel fear, anger, confusion or just a sense of detachment from who we feel we used to be or could be; sometimes it is only symptoms (such as addictions, eating disorders, OCD) which we can identify. You might be experiencing family or work issues or, maybe, you’re in grief (from a death/relationship breakdown or any significant change in your life). Whatever your reason for wanting therapy I know that, ultimately, we want to feel better than we do right now.

Whatever has brought you here, you’re already taking a step towards understanding yourself more deeply. You may feel things intensely and reflect a lot, but still find it hard to make sense of what’s happening right now. You may notice yourself going round in familiar patterns that leave you feeling stuck, ashamed, or disconnected from others and from yourself. Maybe you’re questioning aspects of identity, desire, sex and intimacy, and wanting more clarity, confidence, and ease in how you show up. At heart, you want to feel more alive, more connected with intuition, more at home in yourself, in your body, and in your relationships.

Midlife is particularly significant for women, as it’s when most of us will experience peri/menopause and it’s often a period of change: in our bodies, emotions, and cognition, and also possibly when our roles shift. Whatever our individual situation, it’s inevitably a time of transition and challenge. Therapy is more than healing, reflection, developing coping strategies and resilience, deepening self awareness, and all that good stuff. It’s also about grieving and expressing rage, fear and resentment, analysing our failures and successes, thinking about our identities and reconnecting with our Self, which is often neglected.

I have worked with a range of clients and life experiences ranging from bereavement, to neurodiversity, women's issues (PMDD, menstrual cycles, TTC, miscarriage, perimenopause, menopause, post-partum) and anxiety, depression, OCD and family issues through a trauma-informed lens.
I value creativity, curiosity and compassion and aim to bring those to our work as we collaborate. I want people to feel like they can bring their full selves to our sessions and to create a safe space together that is ultimately client-led. I practise an integrative approach (psychodynamic and person-centred) and also have an interest in transpersonal psychology and Jung’s work on synchronicity and the collective unconscious.

It can be tricky to choose a therapist and understand the various titles therapists go by and the different types of therapies on offer. I think one of the most important factors in choosing a therapist is the fit between the client and therapist and whether the relationship feels warm and empathic. My therapeutic style is to identify and build on existing strengths and to offer a supportive space to explore difficulties and patterns of behaviour. Having had my own psychotherapy, I am familiar with what it feels like to be on the receiving end of therapy and I am sensitive to this during my work. (Online only- not in person).

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
