Sleep or Insomnia Counselling in North West London
Sleep suffers, confidence dips, work feels heavier and life feels harder than it used to.
I have over 20 years’ experience in mental health, including private practice, the NHS, occupational health, private healthcare and The Priory Hospital. I work collaboratively to help you understand what drives anxiety, stress or burnout — and how to change the patterns that keep them going.

Are you high-functioning on the outside but internally exhausted?
You manage work, family and expectations, yet feel constantly on edge, overthinking, emotionally reactive or close to shutting down. You appear capable, but your nervous system rarely feels calm.
This isn’t weakness … it’s survival mode that has lasted too long. I’m a London-based trauma-informed psychotherapist specialising in anxiety, burnout and chronic stress in women used to being “the strong one.”
Through structured, somatic, evidence-based therapy, I help you regulate your system, reduce overwhelm and build steady, lasting emotional resilience.

I am a Principal Lead Clinical Psychologist and Psychodynamic Psychotherapist. My approach centres on understanding a person’s individual experience of the world and the problems they’ve come to live with. This involves us working together to try to understand the particular meaning of one’s difficulties and troubling feelings and how and why such distressing experiences have occurred at this point in life. Such understandings often help people feel less troubled and ‘stuck’, for example with depression, anxiety or traumatic experiences, clearing the way for feeling more settled in oneself and an ability to make changes.
