I work mainly with university students and young adults, supporting people with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, depression, burnout, and feeling overwhelmed or stuck in life. Alongside private practice, I also work at a London university as a Mental Health Mentor.I have completed training with the NAD (National Autism Society) to support those who have received a diagnosis, those who are waiting on one, those diagnosed later in life, or simply suspect they may have neurodivergent traits.
I’d describe my style as warm, relatable, and down-to-earth while still offering a safe and professional space. You’re welcome to show up exactly as you are ; whether that means crying, laughing, sitting in silence, bringing snacks, or talking through the chaos of your week before we unpack things together.
I also bring lived experience into the therapy room. Having experienced anxiety and depression myself, I understand how isolating and exhausting it can feel when your mind is constantly overthinking or working against you. You don’t need to pretend to have it all together here.

I'm an integrative therapist, which means I tailor therapy around you and your needs. Some sessions may focus on understanding deeper patterns and emotions, while others might be more practical and grounded; whether that's finding coping strategies, working through relationships, or helping you draft the text you've rewritten 15 times before sending.
