Do you feel stuck in survival mode? Perhaps you are aware that life has alot more to offer, but you struggle to break free from deep rooted patterns? Do you notice chronic anxiety or a sense of fear that you just cannot shake? Many of us are functioning on a day to day level, whilst carrying trauma patterns that are holding us back - and which might be getting in the way of our dreams and accomplishments... I believe everyone seeking therapy deserves a unique approach that is tailored to suit their individual needs and I work with people from all kinds of backgrounds and all walks of life...⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Counsellor, MBACP

The ways we think, relate, and cope are often developed for good reason earlier in life; the difficulty is that they don’t always translate well into adulthood. Strategies that once helped now get in the way. We often find ourselves repeating the same patterns that adversely impact our relationships, leaving us feeling disconnected from others and ourselves. Therapy is about making sense of that. Not just insight for its own sake, but awareness that leads to change. I can help you understand yourself and your relationship with the world around you, so you can be better equipped to face life’s challenges and gain emotional resilience

There are many reasons why you would chose to seek therapy. You maybe experiencing stress or anxiety, feeling overwhelmed or that you just can't cope at this moment in time. You maybe experiencing difficulties with intimate relationships or your family. Could you be suffering a bereavement, or loss, divorce or separation. There maybe issues you have been struggling for a long time, traumatic experiences, low self esteem, your identity or your sexuality. Or feeling like you 'don't quite fit in'. You could be stuck in certain relationship patterns that you want to change.

Present difficulties often have their roots in our past. We are very creative at finding solutions, or self-cures, for what we have experienced. They help us to get by. But often, what troubles us today is a self-cure that no longer works. It's time to time to try something else.

Thank you for your interest! I am an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist and I have worked in mental health services in the NHS for over 25 years. I have a particular skill in working collaboratively with people whilst keeping them connected to the important contexts of their lives, whether that is their partner, children, family, work or the values and beliefs which guide them. I think it is important to acknowledge the impact of intergenerational strengths & trauma as well as attending to community resources & adversities given the powerful effect these can have in shaping our lives.

I support people who feel stuck in anxiety, overthinking, or difficult relationship patterns that seem to repeat despite their best efforts to change. Many of the individuals I work with feel emotionally overwhelmed, struggle with self-doubt, or find themselves in relationships that leave them feeling misunderstood, anxious, or disconnected. Through a collaborative and compassionate process, we explore the deeper patterns behind these experiences. Together we look at how past relationships, emotional habits, and internal beliefs may be shaping how you relate to yourself and others today.

Do you want to talk to someone impartial about your difficulties? If you feel stuck in your life, psychoanalytic psychotherapy will help you to bring about change. I believe everyone should be listened to especially when experiencing emotional distress. I have experience working with people dealing with depression, anxiety, various forms of trauma, as well as broader questions around identity, sexuality and relationship issues. I am interested in a reflective approach to the meaning of life in addition to questions around human suffering, drawing on many years of studying philosophy and psychoanalysis.

I offer online therapy across the UK and in-person sessions in North West London for adults who feel anxious, overwhelmed, self-critical or stuck in patterns that no longer help them. I work in Spanish and English, and many of the people I support are navigating migration, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, life transitions or the quiet exhaustion of trying to hold everything together. My practice offers a warm, thoughtful space to slow down, understand yourself with more curiosity, and respond to life with more freedom and care.

You may look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside feel anxious, overwhelmed, or full of self-doubt. Many people I work with feel stuck in cycles of worry, overthinking, perfectionism, or not feeling “good enough.” I’m an accredited CBT therapist and integrative psychotherapist. My approach combines evidence-based CBT with a more integrative perspective, so we can work both on practical strategies for managing anxiety and stress, while also exploring the deeper patterns that shape how you see yourself and the world, helping you feel more grounded and able to move forward.

Reaching out for help is a courageous act and can mean that you feel anxious, lost, burnout, ‘not enough’… Therapy could help to reframe the way you think, feel, or behave. I see therapeutic change as the process of exploring, understanding, and most importantly accepting different aspects of the self. This way life can be lived more authentically, meaningfully, and creatively. I provide an empathetic, non-discriminatory, and attentive environment for you to share whatever it is that's on your mind. I believe in healing power of being truly seen, heard, and understood and as a therapist I intend to facilitate it.

If you're feeling lost in a world that is constantly changing around you, you're not alone - many of us are deeply impacted by the rapid changes we see in our society and on our planet. To me, counselling is not just about talking it out and finding solutions to life's difficulties. It's also about rediscovering who you are, who you can be, and how you relate to the people around you, as you navigate a world that can often feel so pressurising and overwhelming.
