I am a fully qualified and experienced UKCP accredited and BACP registered psychotherapy and counselling practitioner in individual therapy with extensive knowledge working with adults experiencing mental health difficulties, depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and crises. For over ten years I managed a welfare service for NHS and for Mind in Hackney running projects for Community Mental Health Team and clients who used psychiatric services. Part of my role was also to train social work students as a practice educator. For the last 10 years I have worked in private practice.

Perhaps you work hard and you’re close to burning out. Or you’ve been living for others, not thinking of yourself. Maybe you carry pain, exhaustion, or anxiety that seem connected to your life story. Or you’re self-sabotaging. We all have a relational ‘operating system’ that shapes how we are in the world. It can seem hard-wired, but we can change. In therapy we can open it up and have a look, understanding old connections and rewiring for new possibilities. Moving beyond whatever’s brought you here. This is the work I love to do. Please get in touch: I'd love to hear more about what’s going on, and see whether I can help.

Life could be better so much better. I know right? You have this sense that if you could figure some personal complexities out then that fulfillment that eludes you would be within your grasp. Well it can, but sometimes it needs a depth space, one that aligns with your need to go deeper, perhaps you've tried therapy before? I'm not saying I'm an expert but my gift, as others have said, is that I can go there with you and language that which is hard to express. Others say I'm very easy to talk to, that I genuinely care, this isn't a job but a calling, that's my truth - I want to know - I care to know and help you find yourself.

I help high-performing professionals/entrepreneurs, they are often driven by logic and working in tech/finance/law/media/arts. I specialise in helping people develop a relationship with their body, and to understand the impact of their feelings and emotions on the body and vice versa. I often work with those with experience of living life on the edge, and/or complex, troubled relationships. I work well with people for whom talking about personal matters feels very difficult. I am not easily shocked and I also understand the need for taking things slowly and sensitively. My approach is kind, practical, down-to-earth and creative.

I am a Person Centred Therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). I have extensive experience working with under-represented communities and helping people understanding their behaviours. My counselling journey started a decade ago, not as a qualified counsellor, but as a client. By offering a judgment free space and the opportunity to be vulnerable, my therapist supported me on my journey of self-acceptance. It is on that connection between counsellor and client that I base my work. In my humanistic approach to therapy I believe that my clients are the experts of themselves.

Seeking therapy can be a scary decision. I do believe however that the issues prompting you to come to me have the potential to enable you to move into a new level of self-understanding. A key principle of my particular therapy - Psychosynthesis, suggests that the symptoms of our problems can indicate a deeper meaning or potential trying to emerge in our lives. Our work together will try to discover what that might be. To achieve this I offer a focused approach for a specific issue in short-term work or we can go into more depth for work in the longer term.
