I am a London based Maudsley trained consultant psychiatrist offering psychotherapy for stress, anxiety, depression, burnout and relationship difficulties.
I provide Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT), a structured, insight oriented approach that explores how past experiences and relational patterns can shape current emotional and mental health difficulties. This helps clients understand the roots of their distress and develop healthier ways of relating and coping.

I specialise in anxiety, over- thinking, adhd, healing from childhood trauma and parenting for children with neurodiversity.
I help parents tune into their inner guidance, build upon their strengths and communicate with their child in a way that connects with their child’s unique needs and developmental stage. I draw from many evidence based methods including internal family systems, positive parenting, and compassion focused therapy.

Whether you are experiencing serious psychological or emotional difficulties, encountering unique challenges in your life, or just want to deepen your self-exploration, "the talking cure" is a way of easing suffering and engendering personal growth. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I provide a space of deep listening and reflection. An integrative approach means that as a therapist I respond to your unique needs, rather than applying a model of treatment onto you. The frequency and duration of therapy varies depending on your needs and desires. Please see my website to read more about my background and clinical approach.

I work collaboratively with adults with a range of mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm tendencies and feelings of isolation.
The purpose of Psychotherapy is personal change. By exploring internal and external struggles with a qualified experienced professional, we work together to understand what might be getting in the way of your desired change, what might be creating difficulties and limitations. I am an experienced qualified Psychodynamic Psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy offering in-depth and short-term therapeutic treatment to adults. I previously worked in the business sector for over 15 years, most recently in the development of psychology based performance solutions within organisations

Do you suffer from anxiety?
As human beings we are essentially relational and the exploration of relationships in a person's life is the focus of the work I do. This can be troubling, fascinating, helpful, illuminating and deeply profound or all of these at different times. It is not an easy commitment but then nothing worthwhile ever really is.

I am a counsellor practicing feminist, somatic and psychodynamic therapy. As a feminist, queer, neurodivergent woman of color, my experiences deepen my understanding of marginalisation. I focus on gender, disability, racial, and intergenerational trauma and am committed to anti-discriminatory, LGBTQIA+ affirming practices. I want to explore with you: how to be ourselves in this contradictory and confusing world. We are asked to suppress ourselves, yet rarely asked what we truly want or who we want to become. These suppressions are rooted in our past, culture, and relationships, eroding trust in ourselves and others.

All is welcome to be explored in the therapy room, such as your anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues or loneliness.
I particularly can relate to the challenges of being born as 1st generation immigrant child and the confusion it may bring about your sense of identity and belonging. Therefore, I particularly enjoy working with clients who want to explore cultural, self-esteem or identity issues and/or traumas.

I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist with extensive experience of mood related issues including anxiety, depression and low self-esteem to more complex, life-long and personality related issues.
My background lies in the charity, education and social care sectors. Work with diversity and deprivation has enabled me to gain insight into the many factors that shape our psychological selves. I am empathic to the unique ways we suffer as individuals and, from experience, understand how this can serve new growth and wellbeing.

Hello, I am a clinical psychologist specialising in emotional coping patterns, anxiety, perfectionism, mood, self worth, relational difficulties and life transitions.
I have fifteen years of experience across a range of NHS services and am trained in multiple therapeutic approaches. I am an accredited CAT therapist (Cognitive Analytic Therapy) which combines cognitive and analytic approaches, so I balance practical, here-and-now strategies with deeper emotional work. We can think together how we want to tailor the work.

I understand the role cultural and social contexts play in shaping mental health and wellbeing, and I am dedicated to creating an affirming space for clients of diverse backgrounds, sexualities, and identities. Together, we’ll work to overcome obstacles and foster growth in a supportive, inclusive environment.

We may explore your history applying a psychodynamic lens, or apply mindfulness and behavioural techniques (like DBT) for real-world change depending on what serves you best in resolving issues such as grief, anxiety, or relational and workplace stress.
I believe therapy is a collaborative experiment aimed at tangibly and enduringly improving the quality of your life. Success often begins by formulating the right questions. As an experienced assessor and case manager, I excel at fostering curiosity to connect seemingly disparate threads in your story. This process creates new understanding and provides space to address the challenges we often keep hidden—unpacking them with more care and honesty than day-to-day life typically allows. In this, I follow a person-centred foundation that prioritises safety and careful listening.

With a decade of experience both within the NHS and in private practice, I work with individuals facing a wide range of complexities; profound depression and anxiety, relationship and sexual issues, trauma, bereavement and existential confusion.
Counselling is a space to talk, think and be listened to in confidence with a trained professional who will respect you and your experiences. Life can be challenging especially when we are dealing with difficult or overwhelming feelings. It is often hard to understand the root of one's own pain and perhaps talking to friends and family is too difficult or does not seem to bring about the change and acceptance you seek. For those feeling stuck or isolated, counselling will improve your emotional wellbeing and help you feel more in control of your life, and with the right counsellor it will lead to positive and lasting change.
