I am a psychotherapist, coach and EMDR practitioner experienced in helping people work through personal issues (such as dealing with anxiety, lack of self-confidence) and interpersonal (such as work and personal relationships) issues. I also specialise in working with anxiety and trauma.
Pretending to be fine when we don’t feel fine at all can be exhausting - mentally, physically and emotionally. When we feel we have to hide aspects of who we are or how we feel, when we cannot be honest with others (and sometimes even ourselves) about our thoughts, feelings and struggles, we often find ourselves feeling isolated and deeply alone.

I have experience with a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, low self esteem, eating disorders, sexuality and gender identity, domestic violence, and more.
Psychotherapy can help reducing anxiety and other emotional distress. Crucially, it can support you in understanding the root causes of your suffering. Challenges and difficult patches are inevitable in life and talking about these in a safe, non-judgemental space can be transformative. Therapy can also be an exciting space for self-exploration and growth.

I work with many presentations but I specialise in Eating Disorders including binge-purge, weightloss, dysmorphia and associated depression and anxiety.
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.

I have dedicated the majority of my career as Clinical Psychologist thus far to helping people suffering from various forms of eating disorder, such anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder or emotional eating.
I see a symptom as a warning signal, a sign that you should adopt a different stance in relation to your life: It is very important to understand the meaning of these signs, so that you can positively transform them into your new personal insight and resource.

I am a psychotherapist (MBACP) based in Fulham and I have a Masters in Integrative Psychotherapy & Counselling and I offer sessions both in-person and via zoom.

I have extensive experience working with Eating Disorders and have also worked with anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal difficulties, compulsions, infertility, life transitions.
I am passionate about empowering clients to develop or strengthen their own sense of agency in the world, so that they feel in control. In order to do this, I work collaboratively with clients rather than acting as an expert. I walk alongside my clients in their therapeutic journey, rather than taking the lead and instructing which can at times feel disempowering. Whilst I use my knowledge and expertise to help clients consider new ways of viewing the world and offer guidance on ways they may consider changing their behaviours to better suit their needs, I do not act as an "expert" as I believe each person knows themselves best.

Eating Disorders Counsellors
What happens in therapy for eating disorders?
In therapy for eating disorders, patients typically describe their eating and exercise behaviours, their patterns of eating in relation to stress, their beliefs about their body, the ways their eating behaviour affects their relationships, and their desire (or lack of it) to change. Such information helps the therapist understand the origins of the disorder and the role it plays in the patient’s life, important for guiding treatment. Attitudes and feelings about food and eating, body weight, and physical appearance are common topics of discussion throughout treatment.
What therapy types help with eating disorders?
Once any acute medical or psychiatric emergency is resolved, psychoactive medication is often prescribed, requiring the supervision of a psychiatrist. In addition, patients receive some form of nutritional counselling along with one or more forms of psychotherapy. For adolescents, family-based treatment is empirically validated and considered the first line of treatment; parents and their children meet weekly with a clinician as the adults are coached on how to nourish and psychologically support the young patient. Adults typically receive some form of individual psychotherapy, intended to resolve the cognitive and behavioural disturbances that underlie the disorder and to relieve the mood disturbances that accompany it. In addition, patients may also be helped by group therapy.
What is the goal of therapy for eating disorders?
The most immediate goal of treatment for eating disorders is to save the life of people who are on a path of starving themselves to death or engaging in eating patterns that are doing irreparable physical harm to their body. Once the acute medical danger is past, therapy is required to understand the nature of the disordered eating and/or exercise patterns, establish healthy eating behaviour, and to tackle the many erroneous beliefs and distorted self-perceptions that underlie eating disorders and continue to pose a threat to health and life. Therapy also addresses the impaired mood that not only accompanies eating disorders but intensifies the danger to health and life.
What are the limitations of therapy for eating disorders?
Therapy can be very helpful for eating disorders—but that can happen only after people recognise they have a condition that must be treated. Especially with anorexia, the distortions in self-image that accompany the disorder can keep people from acknowledging they have a problem. Individuals may in fact see their eating disorder as a badge of self-control. Those with binge-eating disorder may feel too ashamed to seek help. Therapy cannot help those who do not avail themselves of it.
How long does therapy last for eating disorders?
Because of their complexity, recovery from eating disorders is usually a long-term process—measured in months and years— often marked by setbacks and relapse. Some form of help, such as individual or group therapy, may be advisable for much of that time. It is a general rule of thumb that the longer the illness has endured and the dysregulated eating behaviour has taken root, the longer treatment is likely to be needed.
