Counselling in London
Life can be incredibly challenging. Sometimes we know the reason why we’re struggling and other times we just can’t really understand it.
Often, we repeat old patterns, knowing they don’t serve us, but feeling unable to bring them to an end. Sometimes we can feel frustrated and dissatisfied but can feel powerless to make change.

As an Integrative therapist, I employ the Psychodynamic and Humanistic modalities to create a dynamic approach that delves into both your past and present experiences.

Emphasizing a non-judgmental space, I provide you the freedom to authentically unravel your true self, unencumbered by masks, expectations, or defenses. Listening without judgment is paramount in this therapeutic journey, fostering an environment where you can voice your truth. In the words of Rumi, "The cure for pain i

Exploring your relational patterns together, looking at both the past and the present, can significantly improve your understanding of yourself and your experiences. This important work can give you greater choice and autonomy, improve your relationships and enable you to develop ways of being that help you feel less stuck in different areas of your life.
I typically work in an open-ended way offering weekly sessions. I do, however, also offer time limited weekly sessions if that feels right for you. As a first step, I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone call where we can see if what I offer feels like it might be helpful to you

Seeking therapy is often the first step towards change, it can also feel like one of the hardest. Reaching out takes courage and it's normal to feel nervous, but you don’t have to face your challenges alone. I offer a warm, safe, non-judgemental space where clients feel empowered to explore their inner world, uncover solutions, and grow in self-awareness. I believe that the answers lie within us all, and the therapeutic journey helps to illuminate the path towards healing and transformation. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is key to achieving meaningful change and every client is unique and an expert in their own life.

Hello, I am a psychodynamic psychotherapist.
I offer a safe, supportive space where we can think together about the challenges you’re facing — both past and present. Therapy is not only about managing symptoms but also about understanding the patterns that keep repeating and finding new ways of relating to yourself and others. With a psychodynamic approach, we explore how past experiences and unconscious processes may be shaping your life today. In the safety of the therapeutic relationship, these hidden influences can come into focus, opening the way for insight, healing, and meaningful change.

I know you're here because something in your life isn’t quite how you want it to be. And now, you're scrolling through countless profiles, trying to figure out who might actually understand and help. But how do you know who’s the right fit? The truth is, you won’t, not really, not until you’ve had a chance to talk. That’s why I offer a free first consultation (15 mins), to give you space to see if we connect, with no pressure or obligation.

Life can throw many challenges at us and affect us in many different ways. These might include being troubled by painful memories from difficult past experiences, struggling in relationships, caught in cycles of worry and anxiety or low mood, or constantly feeling not good enough. These experiences can make it feel difficult to cope and might leave you feeling unmotivated, unfulfilled, or like you are living a life directed by worry and fear rather than your values. I am here to provide a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental space to explore these difficulties and support you to navigate a way out of them.

Are you feeling stuck between who you’ve had to be and who you want to become? You may be navigating a life transition, people-pleasing, or burnout from holding everything together. As an American expat or someone adjusting to major change, you may feel unseen, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others. I help adults move from overwhelm to clarity through a warm, trauma-informed approach grounded in mindfulness, somatic work, and nervous system regulation—helping you build self-trust, set healthy boundaries, and feel at home within yourself again. Healing begins when you feel safe to be you.

Are you feeling stuck, lost or anxious? Perhaps you are struggling with low mood and/or feelings of worthlessness. I offer a non-judgmental space in which we can begin to think about your feelings and experience and help you to feel more grounded and in control of your life. I work with anyone interested in understanding their feelings and knowing themselves better. I also specialise in therapy for creatives, whose work and lifestyle may bring unique challenges.

My practice is non-pathologising, trauma informed, collaborative and creative.
I consciously create a containing and non-judgemental space for the people I work with, building trust over time. I believe that safety in the therapeutic relationship is paramount in allowing someone to begin unravelling, processing and embracing all parts of themselves. There is limited space in our world where others can sit alongside us in a meaningful way, so I aim to do this for my clients. I commit to being alongside in the discomfort, complexity and messiness of existence while marking moments of connection and sparks of joy.
