Experienced, fully-registered therapist with practices in Hackney and Marylebone.
People come to me for many reasons – depression, anxiety, addictive or compulsive behaviour, trauma, loss, family issues, relationship problems. Sometimes it's to navigate a life stage or make sense of one particular event or crisis; sometimes clients just can't seem to live life as they want to, or sometimes they don't know what they need.
My previous career was the arts and media so I often see clients with an interest in developing or exploring their creativity in some way.

I am a sex and relationship therapist offering sessions in London (Peckham & London Fields) and Leigh on Sea, Essex. I work with individuals, new or long-term couples, and multi-partnered relationships.
I support clients who are struggling with sex and/or relationships to find more connection, pleasure, understanding and ease. I also recognise that intimacy, sex and relationships can hold pain, shame, trauma, numbness, confusion and it can feel hard to approach this alone. I believe therapy offers a safe container to explore these experiences at your pace, with care and curiosity, and I aim to offer this in my practice.

Life can feel like a battlefield when childhood wounds, complex trauma, and the scars of abusive relationships leave their mark. You may find yourself stuck in painful cycles of overthinking every interaction, doubting your self-worth, or repeating patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you carry the weight of people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, or an inner voice that never seems to quieten. You might wonder, “Why can’t I just move on?” You’re not alone.

I work with highly driven professionals, entrepreneurs and people in demanding roles, often in tech, finance, law, media and the arts. Many are thoughtful, reflective and used to holding things together externally, while privately feeling tense, stuck, burnt out, emotionally shut down, or caught in patterns they understand clearly but cannot seem to change.

It can be hard to live in this world sometimes. Early experiences, uncertainty, loss, rejection, trauma, oppression and inequality can impact us in ways that are both subtle and obvious. Family dynamics and relationships with friends, partners and colleagues can be complex.
Therapy can offer a transformative space where experiences can be understood, where difficult and painful feelings can be explored, and where new ways of doing and being can be discovered.

You’re ready for things to feel different, but you might not be sure how to get there. Perhaps you’re feeling trapped in cycles of intrusive thoughts, constant anxiety and self-doubt.

I offer practical, evidence-based tools that actually help. Whether your goal is to feel less controlled by obsessive thoughts, rebuild trust and connection in your relationship, or break free from unhelpful cycles, I aim to offer a clear and supportive path forward.

Often the hardest part of creating change in our lives is simply making the conscious decision to do so. If you have found your way here, you are at least considering therapy & wanting to know more about how it might help you right now. This is a positive first step! It shows great courage to face life's difficulties & to reach out for support. But how does change actually happen? Where do we start? And as the world works through its troubles, how can we focus when our minds are surrounded by anxiety & uncertainty?

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
