As a Principal Counselling Psychologist based in London and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), I bring over 20 years of clinical experience and NHS training across a range of psychological approaches. My integrative style combines Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based methods, and particular expertise and accreditation in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)—all supporting the journey toward finding Eudaimonia.
I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, or the effects of trauma, and those living with chronic or complex physical health conditions. I also support clients facing relationship challenges, fertility issues, bereavement and loss, or low self-esteem, helping them restore balance, reconnect with meaning, & cultivate a eudaemonic sense of wellbeing.
Rooted in a belief in the mind-body connection,I view each person as a whole and tailor therapy to your individual needs.My aim is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your story, process emotions, make sense of experiences. Together, we’ll focus on growth, meaningful change, & finding Eudaimonia—a life of balance, purpose, fulfilment.
