You may be considering therapy because you are suffering in some way. My practice offers a kind, caring, professional and safe environment where you can speak openly and honestly to help get to the root of the problems that you may be struggling with. I have a wide range of experience helping people from many different backgrounds work through what may feel like irresolvable challenges. Gaining insight, building resilience, a more comfortable sense of self and better relationships are often key milestones. I specialise in anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and relationship issues and work both privately and in the NHS.

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.

Maybe a particular event, crisis, or relationship has brought you here. Maybe you don't have a clear reason but feel frustrated or despondent or sense that something is 'off'. Whether you feel your difficulties are specific or vague, together we can look at what brings you to therapy and what needs to change so that life is more manageable and enjoyable. My style is warm, engaging, and I practise in a sensitive and thoughtful way. I have completed a rigorous training and I am a fully qualified integrative therapist. Alongside general practice, I specialise in supporting clients who work in the creative industries.

Art therapy can be a powerful and transformational process, for anyone experiencing emotional distress, whose lives have been affected by difficult experiences, or anyone wishing to gain self-awareness and improve their wellbeing. People of all ages, circumstances and backgrounds can benefit, and there is no need to have any skill or indeed think of yourself as a particularly 'arty' person.

Welcome. I am a Relational Psychotherapist. Having worked as Clinical lead for a branch of the Charity MIND delivering specialised trauma intervention and training, I have also run an independent private practice of psychotherapy and consultation for more than 10 years in West London. I work with clients on a broad range of issues offering a confidential, empathic space to reflect upon and gain insight into what is affecting them and why. These issues may be the result of day-to-day stresses, specific key events in life and many can stem from childhood.

This time can feel very fragile both individually and collectively which is hard on most of us. How do we navigate our way through the uncertainty and recognise that in this everchanging and fast paced world we can make our way towards our own sense of certainty? During these moments it can be helpful to have someone to walk alongside you. To listen and tune into what you need and want to say. To be heard by another so that ultimately you can hear yourself. Should you need this support I would be honoured to walk a while with you.

At times, life can feel hard to manage. When this happens, it helps to have a space where we can be listened to, just as we are, so we can make sense of what's happening. You may feel anxious, stuck, trapped or hopeless - maybe something's missing but you can't work out what. Or something has left you reeling, but when you try and talk to friends and family, they say it's normal so you should "just be able to cope with it". Perhaps you feel isolated and alone, unable to engage with loved ones, overwhelmed by routine and responsibility or feeling like you have to look fine and be strong for everyone around you.

At the heart of my approach to therapy is a belief that the answer to life’s dilemmas is not ‘out there’ but within us. When we start to love and accept ourselves as we are, we can begin to feel more empathy for others, our relationships will improve, and we will find it easier to have the sort of life we want. It is my view that most people could benefit from therapy. It is a space where you can speak your mind without fear of upsetting friends or family. It is a chance to talk over problems with someone who is not going to be judgemental or tell you what to do. It is a place where you can consider your options and make choices.

As a Humanist, I believe in your Actualising Tendency - your inborn capacity to heal and grow. How do you experience this innate resourcefulness in yourself? Has it become confused by social expectations, stifled by inner critics, or simply bypassed by survival-mode thinking? However remote it might seem to you now, your Actualising Tendency is always there, ready to resume its central guiding role in your life. If this rings true and you're looking for therapy that is guided by your own authentic curiosity, awareness, insight and creativity, we might be a good match.

If you are struggling with feeling overwhelmed, unhappy, anxious or depressed, therapy may be able to help. Psychodynamic Psychotherapy attempts to understand how early relationships and patterns of behaviour can affect and lead to difficulties later in life. Perhaps an immediate crisis or longer term feelings of unhappiness have brought you here; both are valid and may benefit from therapy. I can offer a calm, confidential and supportive space to help you try and understand why you are feeling a certain way, and together we can work to resolve any deeper issues.
