Have you lived with anxiety or depression, and need someone to help you unravel what keeps you in distress? Perhaps you feel behind in life, and struggle to know what stops you from moving forward. I am here to help you to live more authentically, to explore your relationship with different parts of yourself, and to help you move from being stuck to a more flexible way of experiencing. I help my clients to build a compassionate relationship with themselves. The goal is that clients begin to feel able to cope with difficult feelings and situations, make decisions that align with their values, and strengthen their relationships.

I like to work with clients who are aware that they want to make changes in their lives: they may not yet know what the change looks like, but are willing to explore options in a compassionate and supportive environment. They are interested to learn more about themselves and others; willing to accept that they many need to let go of some old patterns of thinking, feeling and doing to live the life they want for themselves. They are committed to their personal growth and willing to meet regularly over Zoom or in person, to achieve their goals. Goals will be agreed each session to ensure focus and a sense of achievement for us both

Throughout our lives, we are often confronted with experiences and/or difficulties that challenge us. Sometimes, these challenges can leave us struggling and in need of a space in which we we can safely explore, understand, and learn how to overcome these issues. ​ Through careful exploration, not only is it possible to learn how to overcome these challenges, we can also begin to understand how they can in fact offer us new opportunities to learn and grow. I take a open and collaborative approach to therapy and am keen to support you with any challenges you are facing

My approach is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a deep understanding that healing is as much about reconnecting with yourself as it is about addressing the wounds you’ve endured. Where relevant I can help you to understand the source of your core pain, which acknowledges and honours the struggles you have already endured while identifying the strengths you have developed to adapt and survive. Where some of these adaptations have become unhelpful, I work with you to discover healthy coping mechanisms and tools moving forward.

Even if you don't exactly know what is wrong, we will work with you to find out the cause so that you can live a happier, more contented life. We aim to get to the root of the problem so that the change is permanent. If you haven't had counselling before, or feel nervous about it, please call me for an informal chat. Counselling can be (and often is) a life changing experience. We suggest a 1st session, by the end of which you will know if you want to carry on. If you are a couple we have a specialist. Feel free to call.

As a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, I work in-person and online with adults from diverse backgrounds. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can freely explore your feelings and experiences. My practice offers a relaxed, informal environment for deep reflection on personal struggles, relationships, and conflicts. Rather than offering quick fixes, I guide you through a process of exploration, using the past to make sense of the present and give meaning to thoughts, memories and relationships. Through curiosity and insight, we’ll work together to reduce any barriers and foster lasting inner growth and change.

Since the Coronavirus pandemic my Psychotherapy practice has moved online, in most cases. My fee for working face-to-face - in and around the Greater London area - can be discussed. I offer one-to-one, couple and relationship counselling and group therapy. I work with an integrative approach, including theoretical principles such as Relational, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Spiritual, Mindfulness, Gestalt, etc. I also incorporate Eco-Psychotherapy, as I believe we are each emotionally and spiritually impacted by the differing, ecological environments in which we live.

I offer CBT (short term) and psychodynamic therapy (short or long term) for children, adolescents and adults. I treat anxiety, panic, low mood, anger, relationship difficulties, attachment difficulties and trauma. I specialise in attachment and identity work with adolescents and adults (i.e. self esteem, confidence, interpersonal difficulties). This often involves making links between past relationships, and current symptoms/self-identity (although it doesn't have to focus on the past). I also offer therapeutic space for individuals querying neurodiversity in themselves or their children (pre-diagnostic screening, psycho-education).

I am a qualified Clinical Supervisor offering individual and group Supervision. If you’re facing distressing or traumatic experiences, I can support you explore your thoughts and feelings to make sense of what's going on and consider how things can change. I work on a short or longer term basis. I know that, sometimes, talking can be difficult; our unconscious thoughts get in the way of change and I’m able to offer body or creative therapeutic solutions as well.

I predominantly work with adolescents, adults, or families navigating challenges such as trauma, behavioural difficulties, communication breakdowns, or emotional dysregulation. They may struggle with anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, or negative thought patterns that affect their emotions and behaviour. Adolescents may seek a confidential space to feel heard, respected, and free to explore their thoughts and emotions, learning new ways to manage complicated feelings and relationships. A family may feel stuck in repetitive, unhelpful patterns and want to find new ways to improve their relationships and communication.

lCounselling for Anxiety and Depressionl Maybe you have anxiety, panic attacks and keep overthinking. You might at times feel numb or completely overwhelmed. Maybe it's having an impact on your relationship with your loved ones and more importantly how you feel about yourself. Things don't have to stay this way. I’m passionate about supporting adults with anxiety and depression. I have experienced how isolating and debilitating it can be. People can say things like “just be positive” or “don’t worry about it”. It can be hard for them to understand that it isn’t as simple as just focusing on something else.
