Deciding to seek support is a profound act of courage and the first step toward reclaiming your peace. I am here to walk alongside you, offering a warm, non-judgmental, and supportive environment where you can feel truly seen and heard.
As an Integrative Counsellor, I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I draw deeply from Psychodynamic therapy (exploring how your past shapes your present) and Person-Centred therapy (prioritising your autonomy and growth), while blending in practical coaching elements to help you move forward. I am fluid and adaptive, tailoring every session to meet your specific needs in the moment.

I provide trauma-informed support for adults, including neurodivergent clients and those experiencing depression, anxiety, or addiction, exploring the patterns, conflicts, and narratives shaping their lives. I help clients reflect on emotions, relationships, and identity, confront uncertainty, and make sense of past experiences. Therapy is a collaborative, reflective process, supporting clients to uncover authentic desires, embrace responsibility, confront existential questions, explore meaning and freedom, and move towards a coherent, purposeful, and meaningful life.

I have a flexible approach to our sessions, I offer brief intervention work for short term problems which may be a reaction to a life event.

I work with adults that are having difficulties with their mental health. This could be for trauma (childhood trauma, or a more recent incident), OCD, health anxiety, panic disorder, depression, low self-esteem. I have worked in the NHS for 17 years and in private practice.
Do you find it difficult to regulate your emotions? Can you be highly self-critical? Perhaps it feels like your emotions are taking over your life instead of you being in the drivers seat. Does it feel like these difficulties are chipping away at your confidence and relationships? That life is closing in. This can be extremely challenging and hard to live with.

People come for therapy for many different issues. A common theme is that people want to get a greater sense of themselves and understanding of what may have caused their issues and how they might grow past these challenges. Therapy can help you feel better about yourself and improve your mental health.

It isn't often, in our everyday lives, that we feel truly heard, understood and accepted without sensing judgement or criticism from others. I deeply acknowledge and understand the loneliness that comes from struggling in silence with life's difficulties. Therapy offers you a calm space to begin to tell your story; permission to pause and reflect on what you have been through, validate your response to trauma and loss and gently navigate the path forward. I will support you on your therapeutic journey, gently empowering you to realise your inner resources and ways of coping and navigating your world so that you feel more in control.

Are you navigating a period where life no longer feels familiar, after loss, separation, relocation, illness, or a major life transition? Perhaps you’ve been holding everything together for a long time, yet quietly feel unmoored, uncertain, or unlike yourself.
You don’t have to face this period of change alone.
I work with adults facing significant change who want a calm, thoughtful space to make sense of what has shifted. Many of the people I support are capable, reflective individuals who find themselves at an unexpected crossroads — grieving not only what has been lost, but questioning who they are now and how to move forward.

Jewish Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same background to be able to work together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of cultural forces, such as discrimination, that may contribute to that client’s concerns. With a professional who has such training, a client should feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues without feeling that they need to self-censor.
How can I recognise an effective Jewish therapist?
As with members of any religious or ethnic group, just because two people happen to be Jewish does not guarantee that they will share the same values, knowledge, or experiences. A Jewish client seeking a therapist who shares their cultural identity, or for whom it’s important that a therapist share their religious beliefs, may want to discuss a professional’s Jewish background with them before beginning therapy. For someone who seeks justification for major life changes in their religious tradition, or in biblical writings, finding a therapist who is comfortable framing guidance in that context may be especially valuable.
Would a Jewish therapist have unique training?
No, but they should have the same training and certification as any other mental health professional, as well as experience with a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. A therapist with this type of experience should be able to help any client feel comfortable and safe, which is essential for a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established, a potential client may want to find out more about the therapist’s Jewish background.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Jewish clients?
A client can directly ask a therapist if they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and if so, whether these individuals sought counseling for faith-related issues or marital or familial issues in which their Jewish background was a factor. A client may also wish to ask a potential therapist whether they incorporate Jewish teachings and values into their own professional work.
Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Jewish therapists?
The directory of Jewish therapists includes professionals who have opted to share their cultural background on their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their background, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and/or communities.
