I work with clients towards creating long standing changes in their behaviour, thoughts, emotions and interpersonal interactions. My practice aims to promote a depth of understanding, an agile way of experiencing life and a sense of moving forward.

Examples of these challenges may be a difficulty in identifying and expressing emotions, feelings of being estranged from needs, a sense of being stuck, or repeating patterns. I am committed to ethical practice, diversity and inclusion.

Something brought you here. Maybe you've been managing for a long time and you're tired of it. Maybe things look fine from the outside but feel quite different on the inside. Maybe you're not even sure what's wrong — only that something is. You don't need to arrive with it figured out.

With over 20 years' experience, I am committed to supporting your wellbeing and mental health with understanding, empathy and compassion.
I use an integrative approach, meaning that I draw on various models of therapy including psychodynamic and person-centred approaches to facilitate transformation, growth, well-being and improving relationships. I believe that a warm, empathic therapeutic relationship is key to the success of therapy. I also believe that the therapeutic process needs time to evolve, and while it is neither an emergency service nor a quick fix, when undertaken with commitment it can be life changing.

I work with individuals who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or under pressure, often while managing demanding careers, relationships, and high expectations. Many clients come to me experiencing anxiety, low mood, depression, burnout, intrusive thoughts, or a sense of confusion about why they are not reaching their potential. Others are navigating relationship difficulties or loss. In a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space, I help clients gently explore what may be driving these patterns and develop more helpful ways of responding.

I trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist at the Minster Centre in London. Being integrative means that I draw on several different therapeutic approaches. These may include ways to help us to make sense of your current patterns of relating to others and yourself in terms of past experiences; It may involve ways to understand how painful memories can be locked away in your body. I also bring an appreciation of the socio-political context in which we live, and the impact of structural oppression, particularly on people with minoritised experience.
