Counselling in Oxford
In my Central Oxford practice I provide psychotherapy for individuals and couples. Currently most of my work is with clients interested in changing their lives to align with their sense of who they are, rather than be guided by expectations and pleasing others. I also work with people who have experienced trauma, including with a PTSD diagnosis, helping them to process the trauma and reduce unwanted symptoms. I help couples to reset their relationships to a healthier state, to hear and understand each other and to make joint decisions about the future of their relationship and their family system.

I am an integrative psychotherapist with a primary training in Psychosynthesis and secondary trainings in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (Certified Practitioner), Internal Family Systems Psychotherapy (Levels 1-2) and EMDR (Levels 1-3). Drawing on the body, long history with Buddhist psychology and meditation practice, and over 12 years experience working with complex trauma in therapeutic communities in the NHS and the prison system, I work to help people reframe mental health difficulties as psychospiritual opportunities to deepen our relationships and maximise our potential.

I am a psychodynamic therapist who can offer a warm, reflective approach to think together with you in depth about aspects of yourself and your life which may be troubling you.
My approach works in a non-judgemental way to identify and understand underlying, thoughts and feelings, sometimes linked to past experiences and relationships. Some of these thoughts and feelings may be unconscious, and we work together to elicit these too.
I have worked in NHS Primary and Secondary Care Psychotherapy and Counselling Services, and the University of Oxford Counselling Service, in addition to private practice.

My clients are highly able people in demanding jobs who are looking for a thoughtful and constructive approach to understanding their emotional context. They probably have a successful career and an enriching family and social life, but are acutely aware that unexamined feelings and unprocessed pain are holding them back. They have high agency and high standards, and expectations to match. They have little time to indulge negativity.
My clients expect to be challenged and to meet those challenges in a novel and creative way. They are invested in an ongoing commitment and recognise at some level the importance of boundaries.

The people who come to us arrive with the full range of adult difficulty — anxiety that has been wearing them down, depression, the after-effects of trauma, relationships that are not working, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ clients looking for genuinely affirming practice, and senior professionals carrying pressure they cannot put down anywhere else. What our team of more than 90 qualified counsellors and therapists offers is something specific: deliberate matching. You are not assigned to whoever happens to be available. You are matched to the practitioner whose training, specialism, and approach actually fit your needs.

If you're the person others rely on, asking for help yourself can feel unfamiliar. You may appear to be coping. You might be successful at work, meeting responsibilities and keeping everything together, but inside you feel exhausted, anxious or stuck in patterns of overthinking, self-criticism or people-pleasing. I help people who are used to pushing through, but who want to understand themselves more deeply and create lasting change. Together, we’ll explore what’s driving these patterns so you can feel calmer, more confident and more like yourself again.

I help high-achieving adults overcome difficulties rooted in growing up between cultures.
You may have achieved your parents’ and grandparents’ wildest dreams, but feel there’s something missing.
Outwardly, you show few signs that things are wrong; internally, there is an increasing mismatch between your public self and your inner life.
My work has taught me that feelings of alienation, emptiness, and uncertainty are central to the experience of those who grew up between cultures. Ironically, accomplishments make it easier for internal struggles to go unnoticed, by others and ourselves.

I offer therapy for people who feel stuck in patterns they can’t seem to shift, especially if you’ve already spent a lot of time trying to understand yourself.
I won’t just sit and nod, I’ll ask questions, reflect what I notice, and challenge you where it feels helpful. The aim is to build a shared understanding of what’s going on for you, while also finding practical ways forward.
I work with a range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions, focusing on understanding patterns that may be holding you back.
