My therapy is right for you if you are overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, depression, numbness, or the impact of past trauma, and you are tired of feeling stuck. You want clarity, structure, and someone who will both support you and challenge you. You may struggle with panic, OCD, PTSD, ADHD-related difficulties, or health anxiety, and you want to regain control. Your goal is to feel calmer, more confident, to become the best version of yourself, and to live in line with your values—and you are ready to walk with me to get there.

I create a warm, safe, supportive (yet sometimes challenging) place to help you navigate through the complexities and messiness of your relationships and work- life.
I am a London-based UKCP and BACP accredited Integrative fully qualified Psychotherapist. I am also a trained coach so weave these two skills into my practice. I specialise in relationships – the most critical being the relationship we have with ourselves, but also our partner, siblings, parents, our children, friends and work colleagues. I also specialise in helping people in highly demanding jobs. I used to work in corporate consultancy and so know first-hand the stresses of such an unforgiving career. Thus, I am more likely to ‘get’ the struggles of what it is like in your role.

I work with clients managing anxiety, low mood, relationship breakdown, divorce, stress, and periods of crisis, as well as those navigating life transitions, burnout, and challenges around identity and self-esteem.
Together, we explore patterns, experiences, and what may be keeping things feeling stuck, while also thinking practically about how things can begin to shift. Alongside this, I incorporate elements of coaching where appropriate, supporting clients not only to understand themselves more deeply, but also to move forward in a more grounded and positive way.

With a Master's in Counselling for Mental Health and Wellness, a Doctorate in Counselling Psychology, and a Professional Certificate in Executive Coaching, I bring over 20 years of training and clinical experience to my work across personal, relational and professional contexts.
You may be someone who is outwardly coping, managing responsibilities, relationships and expectations, yet privately feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unsure of what you need. You might notice yourself feeling responsible for others while struggling to prioritise yourself, or finding that the same relational difficulties repeat despite insight or effort. Perhaps you feel emotionally shut down at times or easily flooded. You may feel lonely or unseen, even within close relationships. You want more than strategies to cope and wish to understand yourself more deeply and to create meaningful, lasting change.

Maybe now's the time for breakthrough discoveries and a brand new life you'll love.
Success is often depicted as a series of milestones achieved through talent, hard work, and perseverance. Yet, there’s a hidden dimension to success that goes beyond external accomplishments. The "secret language of success" includes understanding and overcoming personal emotional challenges that can impede our progress. Every successful individual has faced various personal challenges. Typically, the impact of such challenges goes unnoticed for quite some time. Anxiety can make it hard for us to focus and perform. Depression can cast a shadow over our aspirations. Low self-esteem and self-doubt can inhibit our confidence.

Life Coaching Counsellors
What can I expect from life coaching?
Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?
Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?
Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?
Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
