Cigna and Evernorth Counselling in Southwark
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in repetitive patterns - persistent stress or anxiety that does not respond to self-help strategies, recurring relationship difficulties, feelings of emptiness or lack of meaning, or a deep sense of not being ‘enough’.
I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences of life. My aim is to help you to start a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation that feels meaningful and sustainable.

Many difficulties people bring to therapy don’t stem from conscious thought, but from how past experience lives on in the mind and body. Early or overwhelming experiences, along with beliefs shaped by social and cultural conditioning, can form patterns of reactivity and ways of behaving that operate outside awareness. Yet these patterns show up here and now, where they can be met, explored, and responded to differently. In therapy, we work with this living process so new understanding, choice, and more integrated change across safety, belonging, authenticity, value, freedom, and meaning can emerge, not just cognitive insight.

Whether you’re coming to therapy with a specific concern, or you’re feeling generally overwhelmed and want support with your wellbeing, I offer a calm, supportive space to explore what’s going on for you.
I work using a CBT approach, which means we’ll focus on understanding your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of behaviour, and how these might be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll clarify what you want to change and work towards goals that feel realistic, meaningful, and right for you.

Are you feeling stuck in painful relationship dynamics, struggling with intimacy or sexual challenges, or navigating the complexities of cultural transition and identity? Do you feel like some parts of you are lost, wounded, or out of sync - with your partner, your body, or your sense of self? You may be carrying stories that no longer serve you, shaped by culture, past relationships, or unspoken wounds. As an integrative counsellor, psychosexual and relationship therapist, I offer a space where all of you is welcome - where we slow down, listen deeply, and gently reconnect you with who you are, and how you want to live and love.

Difficulties around sex can be an isolating experience affecting many areas of your life - especially relationships and self-esteem. Sex is complex! Problems may occur with desire, arousal, pleasure and orgasm. You may struggle with managing your sexual health or sexual behaviours. Difficulties can be present alone or whilst in a relationship.

I also offer therapy through insurance and am a recognised provider with BUPA, Aviva, Cigna, Vitality, WPA, and General & Medical.
Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, low, or stuck in patterns that don’t seem to shift, even though they are functioning well in everyday life. You may appear outwardly competent while struggling internally — highly self-critical, emotionally disconnected, or repeatedly finding yourself in difficult relationship dynamics. I work with adults who want to understand why these patterns keep repeating and are seeking meaningful, lasting change rather than short-term coping strategies.

I aim to help people become unstuck and start to move forward. I believe everybody comes to therapy with their own unique reasons. This can be due to specific psychological difficulties, such as depression or anxiety, feeling sad, difficult early life experiences, traumatic events, high-stress levels, or a general sense of feeling unfulfilled. I believe every person has a unique story, and psychological therapy should be adjusted appropriately as there is no “one-size-fits-all” in understanding our mental world.

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

Cigna and Evernorth Counsellors
Cigna and its healthcare division Evernorth provide behavioral health coverage though managed care plans and Medicare Advantage plans. Outside the U.S., Cigna provides insurance through Cigna Global Health Benefits.
Cigna and Evernorth HMO plans only cover services from in-network providers and require a referral from your primary care physician. EPO plans also utilize in-network providers but generally do not require a PCP referral. PPO plans offer the most flexibility and a larger network of providers, and may include some out of network benefits.
Occasionally Cigna or Evernorth Counsellors in Southwark, London will only accept a limited number of in-network insurance patients in their practice, so it's important to check if your plan is accepted when you book a consultation.
Based in Connecticut, Cigna insures 180 million people in more than 30 countries around the world. Cigna rebraded its health services division as Evernorth in September 2021.
