I am a qualified Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and Supervisor with a significant amount of experience of working with clients with a wide range of difficulties. I can understand how difficult it must be asking for help and finding suitable therapist. Therapy is largely dependent on the relationship between the client and therapist. Without this, change would be very challenging. I offer and warm, safe, non-judgemental compassionate environment for people to be themselves so that change is possible. This makes exploring your thoughts, feelings and patterns much easier giving you the power to move forward in new way in your life.

Are you a diagnosed or self diagnosed neurodivergent individual always anxious, feeling low and only ever imagining what a different life can look like? Are you tired of repeating the same patterns in life and ready for change? Continuously feeling misunderstood by others and sometimes even yourself? Do you often wonder who you are and what you really want in life?
Our life experiences can make us feel like there is always something to worry about, we often worry about a yesterday we will never get back and a tomorrow that is not promised. We can work together to find happiness in the present.

I’m an experienced psychotherapist working in Central London, with in-person availability in the City and Pimlico, as well as online and from my home in Chiswick. I’ve worked in the NHS and private practice over the past 16 years, offering a warm, relational and affirming space for clients navigating a range of issues. While many people begin therapy to manage symptoms, I support clients in going deeper – exploring attachment patterns, family dynamics, and self-critical thinking. My approach is integrative, drawing on neuroscience, mindfulness, and existential therapy.

The loss avoidance game becomes a finite cycle, where the pursuit of pleasure "always" wins. I am an HCPC-registered psychologist, CBT psychotherapist, supervisor, and author. My goal is to help you build a strong foundation and develop the skills needed to keep life within reach. Providing CBT interventions, including third-wave approaches: ACT, DBT, and Schema Therapy. Certified in clinical, counselling, health, and occupational psychology. Progress requires change, rehearsing new ways of thinking or applying a range of strategies
that support your development safely. The result: a genuine approach for a better way forward.

People find their way to therapy for all sorts of reasons. Perhaps you're carrying anxiety, depression, low mood, or low self-esteem. Maybe it's relationships, repeating patterns you can't quite shift, difficult childhood experiences, work stress, or emotional overwhelm. Sometimes there's a specific event at the root of it, or it could be more gradual. I also work with trauma and PTSD, including experiences that felt stuck even after previous therapy. If you're looking for a psychologist or EMDR therapist in Clapham Junction, I offer sessions in Clapham Junction, Croydon, and online across the UK and internationally.

Most people experience anxiety or depression at some point in their lives and need to cope with pain and confusion. You may feel stuck and unmotivated or need to work through a traumatic experience from your past so you can move on with your life. You might also experience work related stress or be dealing with relationship difficulties. Self-development may also be the reason for seeking therapy. Therapy provides an opportunity to explore and make sense of your difficulties in a safe, non-judgmental environment, to develop your self-understanding and improve your relationships.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

At the heart of my work is the belief that each person is already whole, and carries an inner compass; an inherent capacity for clarity, healing, and growth. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with this inner navigator and gently uncover what is standing in the way.
No matter how distant to inner balance one feels, it is never lost. Regaining it often begins with rediscovering the part of you that already knows the way forward, and my wish as your therapist is to support you in claiming your inner freedom.
Together, we create a space where you can feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you navigate life.

You may feel overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or stuck in patterns you can’t shift. Perhaps you’ve carried trauma, people-pleasing, emotional numbness, or chronic overthinking for years. You want clarity, emotional stability, healthier relationships, and confidence in yourself. You may already reflect deeply, even using AI to explore your thoughts, yet still feel unresolved. You don’t just want insight, you want real change, integration, and a sense of calm, secure direction in your life.

I believe people enter therapy because they want positive change and therapy can empower them to make that change happen, starting from within, with a journey of personal discovery. Embarking on this journey of potential transformation could however feel vulnerable and uncertain. Whether it is confusion, unease, pain or deep despair that brings you to therapy you would be warmly welcome. Together we can work on any relationship difficulties, anxiety, life/work stress, identity crisis or impact of traumatic past to help you move through the difficulties and stuck places.
