Working face to face & online as a therapist I seek to establish a safe space where you are able to explore those challenges in your life that keep you from moving forward or from leading the life that you aspire to have. I will support & guide you through the complexity of emotions you are experiencing. Working as wilderness therapist I also run 3 week 'Rites of Passage' journeys to the Himalayas for young adults and 3-week 'Reflection Journeys' for mature adults wanting to take stock of where they are today & where they want to be tomorrow. These journeys start in Kathmandu trekking through Mustang to the Tibetan border.

As a qualified Relationship Counsellor, I have worked with individuals and couples in private practice and charities, as well as with families for over 20 years within the NHS.
Accepting that we're finding things difficult is often the hardest part. Throughout every stage of life we can experience times when things don’t feel right and we struggle with our relationships, or to make sense of our thoughts, feelings and world around us. This can lead to us feeling anxious, overwhelmed and struggling to communicate.

I offer both short- and long-term support to individuals and couples, primarily in English and Portuguese.
Life can present us with ‘issues with life’, challenges that can feel painful and insurmountable. My practice is based on Psychodynamic principles and the belief that therapy can reveal and help you surpass the historic, unconscious, unhelpful, patterns that hinder your innate ability to thrive. With a multicultural background and varied professional history in educational and support roles, I provide a relational, nurturing environment where you can express yourself and feel empowered to follow your own path.

My job as a therapist is to help you to live life better. The purpose of therapy is to help you to identify what is holding you back or getting in the way of you living your life how you want to. Whether this is cycles of thoughts, persistent feelings, repetitive behaviours or being stuck in relationships or situations that aren’t fulfilling you. Therapy can help you to explore these, gain understanding and develop solutions that make sense to you.

Psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic psychotherapy is an open-ended conversation with no agenda and no time limit (i.e. number of sessions). The practice (Greek: Praxis) of psychoanalysis attends to the person who comes for analysis, to listen and witness their concerns, and to facilitate, if possible some kind of loosening of the strictures than bind and contort experience. I work with people with different needs under the rubric of mental distress.

Are you suffering with anxiety, panic, depression, stress? Having relationship problems? Struggling with low confidence or self-esteem? Are you angry, irritable, short-tempered, or generally unhappy? Is your mind full of negativity that just doesn't go away? Confused, lost, overwhelmed, unable to concentrate or make decisions? Perhaps you could benefit from professional help. Asking for help is sometimes hard to do - perhaps you see this as a sign of weakness or failure. Sometimes we can't solve everything on our own. It's OK to ask for help. Admitting you have a problem is a sign of strength.

Many couples arrive having already tried, talking more, fighting less, reading the books.
Relationships don't usually break dramatically, there's a gradual drift, less warmth, more distance. I work with couples who are still in it but can't find their way back to each other, and individuals who keep meeting the same patterns in love, work, and life. If something in this lands, reach out.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read through my page. I'm originally from South Africa, but have lived across the UK since 2016. This has given me the opportunity to develop an insight into how complex life, and our histories, can be, and the impact and difficulties this can give rise to. I draw from a psychodynamic base- understanding the nature and impact both the relationships with others, as well as ourselves, can have. I have experience working with teens - older adults, and tend to offer a more gentle, rather than structured, approach. I strive to develop a space where client's feel safe, protected, and heard.

My practice is entirely online, so individuals and couples can access therapy from the comfort of their own homes.
Maybe you've spent years feeling like you had to be someone else—constantly trying to meet the expectations of others. Whether it’s unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or the weight of anxiety and depression, it can leave you feeling disconnected from your true self. You might find yourself stuck in people-pleasing, overworking, masking, or repressing your emotions. Coping can turn into unhealthy patterns like self-harming, developing addictions, OCD, or eating disorders. Together, we can unravel those patterns, understand how your past is shaping your present, and help you develop what you need to feel good in your own skin.
