MBACP Integrative Therapist, Consultant, Life Coach & Trauma Specialist. Many clients have come to work with me because of my extensive experience in working with ACE, trauma, depression, anxiety, divorce, inner child work and life transitions. As a counsellor my role is to provide space and guidance to help you on your journey of self discovery; to enable you to examine your life and make new, meaningful choices within it.

As a therapist, I believe that therapy should be tailored specially for your individual needs -whether anxiety, depression, self esteem or PTSD - and I provide a relaxed, safe space where you can feel free to share your issues confidentially and without judgement. I like to work in a collaborative way, helping you learn more about yourself, your issues and developing strategies to manage them. I understand how it can feel daunting sharing your problems, sometimes for the first time. My life experience is working with alcohol addiction, cancer and in high profile, high pressure environments with work-related stress.

My approach is relational, humanistic, creative and client-led, meaning we will always work at the pace that feels most comfortable for you. I prioritise building a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental relationship to support you in expressing any complex, confusing or painful feelings and experiences that may be holding you back in your life and relationships. By offering you a confidential and containing therapeutic space, the opportunity is there for you to feel truly heard, accepted and supported, wherever you are right now in your personal circumstances.

I am an experienced therapist who can give you the time and space to explore and focus on your emotions, needs and potential. You might be a couple stuck in a repeating pattern of arguments or stand offs, not communicating, lacking intimacy and feeling alone. Or an individual struggling with relationships and life, wanting to reach your full potential, gain insight into yourself and connect with others. You might have experienced past trauma, feel in crisis or just want time for yourself to be really listened to. If so, get in touch - I offer a free 20 minute online consultation before we commit to working together.

I offer counselling to people who are in some sort of transition in their lives. Often people come to me when they're feeling stuck, isolated or low. I often work with people in their twenties, thirties and forties who are facing some sort of mid-life transition. You might be weighing up what is important to you, and how to take the next steps in your life. I work with people who are often from marginalised groups, for example, LGBTQ+ people and/or people from Black and ethnic minorities. You might want to find out a way to live your life that feels authentic and unblock energy to achieve your goals.

I am a LGBTQIA+ and trauma informed therapist and welcome people of all backgrounds. I work to help clients understand themselves better, to spot patterns and defences, and to gently encourage new ways of being. I am also interested in working with people who are using traditional plant medicines and psychedelics for their healing, to help with preparation and integration.

I am a BPS-Chartered Clinical Psychologist working in private practice and the NHS. I also hold an Honorary Teaching Fellow at University College London and contribute to the teaching and training of psychologists. I am passionate about providing effective psychological therapy for each and every client that I work with. My approach is honest and open and I treat all clients with warmth and compassion. I stay up to date with the most recent psychological research and ensure that the services I offer are evidence based.

I help people facing a range of challenges including profound sadness, excessive worry, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviour, scattered attention, extreme mood swings and distressing unusual experiences.

Clicking through profiles can feel bewildering, especially when emotions are unsettled and the future feels uncertain. However, finding the right emotional support at the right time, can be transformative. I am a well established clinician working closely with clients presenting a broad range of problems commonly underpinned by (often chronic) anxiety and/or depression. My aim is to relieve your distress swiftly through a warm & pragmatic approach & by establishing a facilitatory space where thoughts & feelings can be safely revealed. I am impartial, attentive, curious, determined and experienced.

For the past 20 years I have been developing my skills as a psychological therapist, working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, community and hospitals. Private and NHS. I have extensive experience with mental and physical health issues and I believe they are deeply connected. So I've seen a lot, and I've never met anyone I didn't feel I could help, if they wanted and were ready for change. We are all seeking - and deserve - the best life we can make, for ourselves and for those around us. Clinical psychologists, at their best, are 'science-helpers', turning science into a helping art.

Getting the right help at the right time can change your life. I offer evidence-based therapy & coaching, which draws on the latest research into what works. Whatever issues you are facing, my aim is to help relieve your distress in the most effective way possible. I do that by drawing on approaches backed by decades of research, as well as recent developments in neuroscience. I am Chair of The Bowlby Centre, the leading body in the UK for attachment-based therapy. I am also an ILM-accredited Coach and the co-Director of The London Centre for Applied Psychology - which provides evidence-based training to mental health professionals.

Talking through problems is a good thing to do, but sometimes we know that those closest to us aren’t necessarily the easiest or best to hold all that we are thinking and feeling. Therapy can fill that space within a context of safety, trust and empathy. I am a qualified integrative therapist with experience of working with people from a diverse range of backgrounds. For me, the key is in ensuring that you feel heard and understood so that in turn, you can discern the right steps forward that you want to make in your own life.

To me, psychotherapy is the opportunity to explore, and eventually accept yourself fully – to deepen your understanding of yourself, your responses, and your relationship with the people and the world around you. A process of awareness that can help you learn and heal from the trauma of your past. I had an unusual upbringing with very 'alternative' parents (hence the name) which meant that I was exposed to many weird and wonderful people, ideas and experiences from an early age. This came with its ups and downs, but fundamentally it has helped me develop a deep understanding of what it means to be human, and all that brings.
