Perhaps you manage a great deal - in relationships, family, or work - yet something doesn't feel quite right. You may have tried to make sense of things, even through therapy, yet nothing has really worked. At times, this can show up as unprocessed trauma, anxiety, anger or overwhelm. There may also be a sense of having lost touch with yourself, or a deeper feeling of not being enough. Or you may find yourself stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns - past or present - including betrayal or breakdown. Together, we can begin to make sense of these experiences, so things can start to shift in a more lasting and meaningful way.

My ideal clients are people who’ve often felt misunderstood — by the world, and sometimes by therapy itself. They may be living with epilepsy, autism, ADHD, addiction, health anxiety, or recovering from serious illness. They’re tired of explaining themselves from scratch and longing for a space where they’re truly seen. They might be newly diagnosed, deep into their journey, or simply ready to stop just coping and start actually healing. Whatever brings them to me, they share one thing — a quiet courage, and a readiness to grow.

I didn't come to psychotherapy easily. The culture I grew up in had little patience for sitting with difficulty, emotional life was something to endure privately, not examine. That journey, alongside two decades in education and the experience of building a life in a country not your own, is part of what I bring into the room. It shapes how I listen, and how I understand what it costs to not quite fit.
I carry a lot of lived experience - of institutions, of transition, of what it means to choose a different path from the one you were handed.

As a Jungian Psychoanalyst/Psychotherapist I believe that bringing more consciousness to our lives/relationships is the key to psychological transformation and healing. I offer a reflective space for adults navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, or a deeper search for meaning. I'm based in East London where I work both in-person and online across the UK. Before training as a therapist, I worked in international finance. A life-threatening illness in my 30's led me to re-evaluate everything. That experience and my own analysis/therapy informs my practice with empathy, depth and a belief in the psyche’s capacity to heal.

Life can throw challenges at us that prove too much for us to cope with on our own. I believe that we are not to blame for the difficulties we might face, and that they are the natural consequences of what we have experienced in life. If you are feeling stuck and unable to change things yourself, or repeating difficult and destructive patterns of behaviour, working with and talking with someone not involved in your life can help make profound change. Together we can explore what has helped to shape the way you are now, and how you want to be in the future, in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.
How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.
How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.
What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
