You may appear to be coping on the outside while privately struggling with anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or the challenges of being a neurodivergent adult. Many of my clients tell me they feel they should be coping, yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure why they're struggling. I offer a confidential, thoughtful space to make sense of the patterns shaping these experiences, helping you understand yourself more deeply, build more fulfilling relationships, and create lasting emotional change.

My clients often describe feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted by trying to keep everything together. They may notice recurring patterns of overthinking, self-criticism, or burnout and want to break free from them. They’re looking for evidence-based therapy that’s practical and supportive — a space where they can make sense of what’s happening and learn new ways of coping. Their goal is to feel more confident, present, and in control of their emotions and choices.

I work with people who find that the appearance they present to the world contrasts starkly with how they feel inside. That tension reaches a point where they know they need help. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood, sad, or simply out of sync, the promise of every therapeutic encounter is hope. Working together in a confidential relationship, we can explore the feelings and experiences that are preventing you from moving forward. You can begin the journey of meaningful change.

I am a BACP Accredited Counsellor and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist, with over 20 years experience of working with a wide range of issues. I am based in Farringdon, Central London (EC1). There are many reasons for wanting to begin counselling or psychotherapy. A recent, or current, crisis is often the prompt. Or, you may feel the time has come to take a closer look at those problems, or patterns of thinking and behaviour, that seem all too familiar to you. Many people find their struggles to be too broad or confusing to place in any particular box, or experience a difficult-to-locate sense of dissatisfaction with their lives.

Something isn't working. It might be a pressure that builds, a relationship that's shifted, or a low hum of anxiety or depression you keep trying to outpace. Sometimes it traces back further — to trauma, to loss, to a childhood in which care was inconsistent or absent, and you learned to manage without letting it show. I work with adults and young people carrying these kinds of difficulties — including trauma, depression, anxiety, childhood neglect, and neurodiversity. Together we look beneath the surface, without a fixed script.

My goal as a therapist is to help you explore the emotional questions in your life so you can understand, with greater clarity, why you feel like you do. My practice offers a non-judgemental, confidential setting to reflect on what has brought you to this point in your life, and to consider your potential to live differently in the future. Coming from a background in the arts I pay close attention to the narratives we build and the disguises we assume to protect ourselves from pain. Understanding how these patterns are formed can help you decide which aspects of your life you want to hold onto, and which you would rather let go.

Divorce Counsellors
How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?
Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?
There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioural therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?
When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and 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.
