Life can be rough. It can even feel intolerable at times. We may feel unable to see a way through. There are infinite reasons of what may bring you to therapy; relationship issues, loss, grief, addiction.. We cannot change the past, but we can move towards a more fulfilling life. Therapy helps you greater understand yourself: making what previously felt fractured, feel more secure. Therapy is a collaborative process. I will work with you, offering support, challenge, empathy, compassion and space to explore your own experience, which is so rarely possible in our daily lives. I will also guide you to any well being practices.

I am a UKCP-accredited psychotherapist providing short and long-term psychotherapy. I work from a psychodynamic perspective. This means that I attach importance not only to current experiences and ways of relating, but also to how these may be linked to earlier experiences - understanding the underlying nature of the behaviour and emotions which are causing difficulty or distress can help to relieve suffering and open up the possibility for change. I specialise in opening up space for the development of self awareness & a sense of meaning and purpose in your life in the midst of very bleak or anxiety-provoking experiences.

During these difficult times of coronavirus and lockdown, I am offering sessions via the phone, Skype, and FaceTime. They are accepted methods also within the NHS, where I originally learnt to work with them. I am an integrative counsellor/psychotherapist having worked extensively in the NHS but now work privately. My background in the NHS has made me comfortable working within a multicultural context (LGBT and BME) with a very wide age group of clients (18 -90). I have also studied Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and can offer this separately.

About me: I combine a rigorous training at the University of Oxford with a gentle and compassionate approach to each individual client. We are all unique. So are the things we find painful or meaningful. The way forward will also be unique. I aim to provide a non-judgemental space in which we can identify how you might live a more rounded life. This is a gradual and meaningful journey towards some sense of healing, rather than a short-term alleviation of symptoms.
