My personal life journey and development as a psychotherapist are rooted in my experience and understanding of the world and the self within it. I have assimilated a rich tapestry of international experience, which has deepened my understanding of diverse cultures, and the unique challenges that come with integrating new values into one’s identity. It also allows me to approach therapy with openness and sensitivity to the intricacies of intersectionality and personal growth. My integrative approach combines elements of several therapeutic modalities, which allows me me to tailor my work to meet the specific needs of each client.

I offer a confidential sanctuary where you can explore the depths of your concerns without fear of judgment. The human experience is complex, filled with moments of joy, but also challenges that can leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. With a wealth of experience in disability, bereavement, life transitions, mental health conditions and neurodiversity, I am adept at navigating the unique challenges faced by individuals in these communities. Having walked the path of someone who has been on the margins of society, I actively embrace minorities of all types.

In my private practice and as a college school counsellor my clients often face stress, anxiety, and sometimes anger. This may lead to experiencing sadness, feeling despaired, alone, worthless. Life can bring us hardships, many of which may develop into anxiety and unwanted behaviour or attitudes as a result of difficult circumstances. I work with my clients to help them make sense of their difficulties and foster acceptance within. I provide an empathic and non-judgmental space in which we will work together towards your mental wellbeing and peace of mind. I offer a mindful approach to counselling tailored to each situation.

Many of us have times in our lives when we feel very alone, in pain and need some help. I have felt like this too and understand what it is like to need support. You might have feelings like anxiety, depression or low self-esteem. Perhaps you have experienced a significant loss, such as bereavement, the breakdown of a relationship, family problems, job loss or the loss of your health. Maybe you are struggling to come to terms with trauma from the recent past, or from your childhood. These feelings can sometimes make you feel stuck and get in the way of living a happy and fulfilled life.

I know how difficult it is to find a therapist you can trust for help with your emotional and psychological difficulties. Sometimes our suffering is concealed from friends, family or colleagues because we are good at hiding it but deep inside, we are left feeling far from happy, fulfilled or content. At other times our difficulties are more noticeable. I am passionate about helping people live better lives. I help them discover what matters to them, what type of person they want to be and how they would like to behave. Once their values are clarified I help them make sustainable changes towards the things that are important to them.

I am a fully qualified BACP Accredited Integrative Psychotherapist, with over 20 years' experience, who worked in frontline NHS services (Hospitals and GP surgeries) for most of my career, and now works exclusively in Private Practice. The three issues I am most proficient in treating are anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. (I count myself in the number of people I have helped out of those dark places.)

Prior to working as a therapist and coach, I was a partner in a leading family law firm in the City, practising as a family lawyer for over 12 years. I therefore bring to my work first-hand knowledge of the challenges and stresses one can face in the workplace, with particular insight into the struggle to balance all aspects of our lives, both personal and professional, and of building and maintaining healthy relationships. I have considerable experience in working with people who are having relationship or family issues or are going through divorce or separation. I also coach clients through career and life transitions.

It isn't necessary to know what is wrong, it is enough to know that you wish for something to be different.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties or if you have a history of trauma, therapy can be a safe way to explore your suffering in a warm, non-judgmental and confidential environment. My aim is to help you understand, accept and trust yourself and, ultimately, recognise that you have the resources to manage life's difficulties and uncertainties. Some of our current struggles come from the emotional injuries we sustained earlier in life and these need careful, gentle attention so that healing can happen. So, together we will tend to focus both on your current issues and on examining the past.
