I offer therapy sessions in-person in my private practice, schools, community spaces or online.
I am a creative therapist registered with the HCPC and have been practicing for several years. I primarily work with children and adults who have experienced trauma, or are experiencing poor mental health. The client may be coming to therapy to work on processing their trauma, exploring their emotions, working towards finding the root cause, or finding ways to express their feelings and delve into their unconscious in creative, non-directive ways. Mainly, they want to explore their issues and create a better life for themselves.

My view on therapy is simple: “Through relationships, we heal.” As a BACP-accredited couples psychotherapist and Certified Imago Relational Clinical Therapist, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and couples for 20 years, helping them navigate relational challenges and rediscover deeper connection. I help you engage in a journey of mutual growth, learning how to move beyond conflict and disconnection to cultivate a more intimate, passionate relationship. The power struggle is a sign of growth trying to happen. With hope, intention, and commitment, healing is possible.

I am a passionate practitioner of EMDR (Eye movement desensitization reprocessing), a cutting-edge and clinically proven psychotherapeutic technique for treatment of PTSD.

I am accepting new in-person and online clients.
While we all deserve to have a life that we feel secure in and a future that we can look forward to, in reality there are times when this simply isn't the case. It might be that we look for help with overwhelming feelings of anxiety and depression, or a little nagging voice at the back of the mind that says that now is the right time to talk to someone.  Or perhaps something quite clear and traumatic has happened. Working together, therapy can become a way of finding the words to make sense of confusing experiences.

I offer long-term therapy and short-term counselling online & in person in Cambridge and west London.
Having spent hundreds of hours alongside clients from all walks of life, I strongly believe that there is no one right or simple way to feel or think about ourselves, our individual lives, and the world we inhabit. We are complex beings that often need space and support of others to slow down and make sense of what has happened to us, why we feel out of place, or how to move forward. Therapy with me can be one such place for you.

Available for online therapy sessions.
Life is a forest—ever-changing, untamed. Some paths are clear, others tangled, but every turn shapes you. Even when we feel lost, the roots still hold, the light still finds its way, and every step leads us somewhere beautiful where the deepest roots learn to grow. Walk ahead, where the paths unfold, and the peace is found.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
