Hello and welcome. I am a psychotherapist working in Camden, in Parliament Hill Fields close to Hampstead Heath and Kentish Town. Having a good and trusting relationship with your therapist is important if you are to have a good experience in therapy.

*If you would like to work with me, please contact me initially by email only.* If something in your life keeps on repeating itself and you can't find a way to break the cycle, I can help. People come to me for support in figuring themselves out, and to look at whatever aspects of their lives are not functioning well. Many of my clients are Gender, Sex and Relationship Diverse (GSRD): LGBTQ+, kinky, non-monogamous and/or sex workers. Your identity may have no bearing on what you would like to bring to therapy - you may simply need to feel assured that you won't have to spend hours explaining things or debating your existence.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re feeling out of sorts and would like some help and support to feel better. Sometimes life can throw us a curve ball that leaves us feeling overwhelmed or maybe you’ve had enough of feeling depressed and anxious, angry or sad. Perhaps you’re tired of repeating certain patterns of behaviour or relationships that leave you feeling empty and disappointed. I recognise it takes a lot of courage to seek help. My role is to help you understand better why you sometimes feel, think, or behave the way you do. With that knowledge in hand, you can begin to make positive changes in your life.

Do you want to be able to enjoy life, but feel like something is always holding you back? Perhaps there’s a situation or past trauma you can’t move on from. Maybe you don’t even know what’s wrong, but you know you’re not yourself. Although it’s not always talked about, many people suffer from anxiety or depression at some point in their life. I know that mental health conditions themselves can make it hard to reach out for support. I help people who are suffering with problems like anxiety, depression, trauma, or a loss of confidence. I can help you figure out what’s going on, and most importantly, how to feel like yourself again.

Life can be a whole lot harder and more overwhelming than many like to admit, and reaching out for support is no easy task. So well done on getting this far- you don't have to struggle on your own anymore. The therapy I offer is an opportunity to share your truth and be seen, in the compassionate, non-judgemental space I hold for you each week. I will endeavour to be alongside you with whatever it is you need to share, whatever the emotional weather. Together we will begin to question old narratives that no longer serve you and look at how you operate in the world, in relationship and how you find meaning.

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist with over 13 years of experience in the NHS. I work with many different problems - with a focus on anxiety, trauma, low mood, fatigue, body shame, relationship difficulties and psychosexual difficulties. I often focus on difficulties with connection - with others and/or yourself and your body. I work well with clients who have busy minds and struggle to switch internal conflicts and dilemmas. I mostly work with cognitive behavioural therapy approaches (BABCP accredited) - however always tailor these individually to my clients and focus strongly on creating a safe space for change.

If you’re here it’s likely that you are considering therapy. Maybe there is something specific you are struggling with, or you are feeling overwhelmed in day-to-day life and need a safe space to share, or perhaps you just want to get to know and understand yourself better. Whatever you are experiencing, everything is welcome. Through working together I will provide a holding and supportive space where you can bring and explore all parts of yourself with compassion and empathy. This can lead to a richer, more joyful, more authentic, and more meaningful experience of life, and a deeper understanding of how you choose to live it.

Sometimes life throws up challenges that are too hard to cope with alone and therapy provides a safe and confidential place to work through those challenges. Whether you’re experiencing low mood, anxiety, depression or recurrent issues from your past, talking things through with a trained therapist can help you understand yourself better. With more clarity on how you’re feeling and why, you have more choice in how you react and respond to your feelings. You can begin to develop the self-compassion and the coping mechanisms to live a calmer and happier future.

Reasons for seeking counselling may vary and these could include a wide range of psychological or emotional distress as well as the need to explore your life more deeply or reflect on particular life decisions or dilemmas. The way we approach challenges in life and the thoughts, feelings and behaviours that arise from them can sometimes be the source of further suffering which can be experienced as shame, self-criticism, isolation, self-loathing, self-blame and deep emotional suffering.

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
