Wanting to live a happy, purposeful and fulfilled life shouldn't feel like an impossible goal. You have a right to all these things. Even getting this far might have been difficult, but you've taken the first step to trying to make changes, feel better or have a better understanding of the world around you. Working together with you, I can help with all of these things. Everyday life can heap pressures on people and we can find ourselves anxious, worried, depressed or maybe just a niggling feeling that something isn't right. You might feel like this, and that there isn't a way forward, but there is.

I imagine that you are here because life seems particularly tough at the moment. Perhaps you are anxious about the future, or suffering with difficult memories from the past. Perhaps you have realised that the relationship patterns you have developed are no longer working for you and you would like to find a new way of connecting to your partner or others. Perhaps you need some practical guidance with a sex related problem. Wouldn't it be good if a trusted professional, who is also warm and 'real' could help you find a positive way forward?

Life and relationships are not easy to navigate, and if you’re experiencing anxiety and depression, or going through difficult times, things can feel overwhelming. I understand how difficulties cause you to lose your sense of control, your overall wellbeing and even your sense of who you are. These are normal experiences, but if you’re struggling to feel a basic sense of joy about being you, or if your relationships are causing you more pain than pleasure, then it might be time to seek help. It can be difficult to imagine how talking therapy can help, but together we can work towards symptomatic relief and the freedom to be youself.

Hi I offer an accredited online counselling and psychotherapy service embracing modern trauma-focused therapies. In a compassionate way, we can work together to promote and restore your health and well-being. I use a combination of modern trauma-informed therapies called EMDR (eye-movement desensitisation and reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems' therapy). This integration is very effective and focused for ‘emotional trauma’ and any mental or somatic condition. I am accredited with EMDR Europe and the EMDR Association and with the IFS Institute (level 1 & 2 trained). I have NHS registration & Enhanced DBS

Taking the step to seek psychological support can be a daunting prospect. Understanding this, I work with clients in a collaborative manner, enabling a safe and helpful environment, so the client feels comfortable enough to share some of their life struggles. I am passionate about adapting psychological therapies so that they are accessible and meaningful. I value a non-stigmatising approach to understand complex mental health issues and see difficulties within a multi-layered context.

Maybe you’re successful on the outside, but inside, you’re questioning who you really are. Life transitions—whether in love, career, identity, or self-worth—can leave you feeling unsteady, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward. You might be struggling to trust yourself, to find your voice, or to show up fully in your relationships. Deep down, you know there’s more for you—more depth, more love, more truth—but something keeps holding you back.

If you feel chronically misunderstood, alone or struggle with fears of judgement, then I might be the right choice for you. I provide therapy face-to-face in London and Essex as well as online for those who need that additional accessibility.

I provide a space in safe, calm and creative locations.

My aim is to support you on every step of your journey. Prior to establishing a private practice, my clinical experience began as a trauma-informed Psychotherapist at a women's charity, working with survivors of rape, sexual and domestic violence.

I am a music therapist who believes in each person’s innate musicality and recognises each person’s musical and creative core. I believe we are all resilient and resourceful but that many forces in the world, including racism, sexism, ableism, classism, colonialism, capitalism, and more, consistently try to disconnect us from our inner power and the power of our collective communities. I believe strongly in the capacity of music in therapy to restore this connection, empowering us to access our authentic musicality and creativity and our buried resilience. I am here to support your healing in the way that feels best for you.
