I'm a registered Psychotherapist based in Gloucestershire. I specialise in supporting adults and young people experiencing psychological and emotional challenges.
In our sessions together, I offer a gentle, conversational space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, hopes, and fears. Through sensitive questioning and warm curiosity, I aim to help you uncover some of the deeper, perhaps more hidden parts of yourself — supporting you to reconnect with who you are and how you’d like to move forward with your future.

I work with people navigating life between cultures, including migrants, international professionals and people adjusting to life in the UK. I offer therapy in French, Turkish and English. My work particularly focuses on immigration experiences , neurodivergence, and questions around identity.
I work mostly with individuals from international backgrounds: You might be feeling overwhelmed, far from home, you may be adjusting to a new culture, parenting a child in a new world, or reconnecting with yourself during a period of change.

I am a BACP-accredited psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and lecturer. My core training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, but I work in an integrative and trauma-informed way, drawing on a range of approaches to suit each individual client. I recognise that no two people are the same, and I tailor my work to meet your unique needs, pace, and life experience. A central focus of my work is understanding how early experiences can shape emotional patterns, relationships, and a sense of self. At the same time, I bring in existential perspectives to support clients in exploring questions of meaning, identity, and authenticity.

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist meaning I draw on a range of methods to help my clients. I am interested in the relationship between thinking, emotions, past development, spiritual beliefs and lifestyle and how psychotherapy can help restore a natural balance between these processes. Many clients who present with anxiety, depression and other diagnoses experience confusion, hopelessness and loss of control. Exploring relationships, meaning, choices and connections can enhance their capacity for growth and development. Therapy can help clients experience powerful personal change in themselves and often in others around them.

Sometimes life leaves us in survival mode, shaped by trauma, misattunement, or relationships where our needs were overlooked. In that place, parts of the self can feel suppressed, hidden, or even lost. You may carry shame, silence, or a sense of disconnection, wondering if you’ll ever feel whole again.
I believe that every individual strives for a sense of wholeness and balance in their lives. Yet, at times, one may feel fragmented or disconnected, or overwhelmed by emotions and experiences. Through our work together, I aim to help you navigate these challenges, manage emotions effectively, and start feeling present within.
