My clients come to me with many different issues including stress, depression, anxiety, loneliness and sex and relationship problems. Most people I meet have been trying to deal with these issues and become stuck, unable to find a way through and in need of some help and guidance from a professional. I help my clients by providing a supportive space in which we discover new perspectives on their problems and develop effective strategies to overcome them. This has helped my clients gain a richer understanding of themselves and what they care about, enabling them to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
As a doctor of clinical psychology I'm able to draw upon multiple research-based approaches to work on your difficulties at a pace that fits your goals and preferences. Alongside private practice I am the deputy service lead for a team of psychologists and therapists within St Bartholomew's Hospital in central London.
I understand how looking for a therapist can be daunting, possibly quite overwhelming. I therefore offer a free initial telephone consultation of 15-20 minutes. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what you're struggling with and how I could help before deciding whether to book further sessions.

Most clients start to feel better within the first six sessions. We'll begin by developing an in-depth understanding of your difficulties, looking at them with a fresh perspective. We'll then set some goals and work towards these together. This will be guided by my expertise in psychological theory and research, and your feedback on what aspects of the therapy are proving to be helpful.

My academic and clinical training enables me to draw upon multiple evidence-based approaches to help understand my clients' difficulties. I draw upon a few different models of therapy including psychodynamic, systemic and EMDR, but my main approach is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). By using CBT we can map out your difficulties and identify tangible strategies for change.
