If you're seeking an experienced therapist with a deep understanding of both professional and personal life challenges, contact me. I provide a safe space where you and I explore difficult feelings and gain enhanced awareness of how past and present relationships, break-ups, grief or traumas may be affecting you from day to day. Your feelings of enjoyment and fulfilment in life may be painfully disrupted. Work pressures, difficult relationships, lack of support, sleep interruptions are just some of the factors that can drain your energy and leave you feeling low, lacking motivation and depressed.

Asking for help can be really daunting. If you are here, reading this, and have recognised that you might benefit from the kind of support that therapy offers, then you have already taken a big step. There can be lots of reasons you might benefit from therapy. You might be dealing with a difficult time, such as an illness, bereavement, a separation. You might be feeling stressed, anxious, lost or low more often than feels ‘ok’. You might want to understand yourself better, why you feel and behave the way you do, or want to feel more alive.

People come to counselling/therapy for a range of issues including relationships, stress, fear or anxiety, confidence & self-esteem, procrastination, unhelpful habits or addictions & a whole range of other issues. In the beginning my role is to get to know you, understand who you are, listen why you have come, why you are the way you are, what you might need. I usually ask a lot of questions to find out about you now and what brings you to counselling, a little about your past, to find out how counselling can help alongside considering not only any underlying issues but also how you may want to live your life to your full potential.

I work with people at a threshold: dating anxiety, new parenthood, midlife shifts, burnout, redundancy, expat life, or quarter-life uncertainty. Most arrive after trying to think their way out, ready for someone both warm and direct. Drawing on Jungian, psychodynamic, somatic, and CBT work built over 11 years of practice, I help you see the patterns beneath the struggle, reconnect with your body's wisdom, and build practical tools, so you leave each session a little more like yourself again.

I specialise in evidence-based therapies from the CBT tradition: REBT, Cognitive Therapy, ACT and Mindfulness-based CBT.
When we're trying to cope with difficult situations and experiences, it's easy to find ourselves reacting in ways we don't like or want but can't seem to change. You may be trying to navigate a relationship or work life, change habits or patterns that keep repeating, deal with the effects of past experiences, adjust to changing circumstances or manage ongoing pressures. I'm an experienced therapist offering a supportive space to work through difficulties with anxiety, low mood, depression, OCD, stress, anger, self-confidence, motivation and procrastination.

Counsellor, MBACP
North West London, London NW11
I use gestalt and mindfulness approaches to bring things into the present moment, and I bring creativity into the room when it serves you.
If you've ever felt like you think and feel at a slightly different frequency to most people around you, like too much, too sensitive, too in your head this might be the right place. I work with people who are creative, curious, and often psychologically self-aware. People who feel things deeply. Who've probably already read a lot, thought a lot, and still find themselves stuck in patterns they can't quite shift from the outside. People drawn to understanding themselves - not just managing symptoms, but making genuine sense of who they are and why.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Counsellors
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.

When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behaviour through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.

What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviours and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.

Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioural habits.
