You may experience anxiety, anger, depression, relationship and sexuality difficulties, addictive behavior. Talking therapy helps to understand our emotions so that we can identify and manage negative feelings or unwanted habits. In Therapy we can explore present and past events to identify the relation between the present emotions and the early life experiences. By understanding how childhood experiences affect our emotions and behavior as adults, it is possible to understand the ourselves as we are now.

We believe that everyone is unique and therefore is dealt with in a way that best caters to his or her individual needs. We work with you by exploring your world to see how you engage with your life and the people around you. Along the journey, we will explore your past, look at your present and see how you perceive the future. We will help you become more aware of your values, beliefs and limitations and help you connect and improve your relationship with yourself. This process may be challenging, yet extremely rewarding as we access the changes you want to make towards living the life that you want to live.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma or relationship difficulties? Or do you feel like an imposter in your own life, never quite your authentic self? As an experienced Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Clinical Supervisor, I've spent decades helping people through these very issues. Through self-reflection and a deeper understanding of our thoughts, feelings and intentions, we can all improve our wellbeing. Alongside my private practice, I work with professional athletes, people adjusting to spinal and brain injuries, and in an NHS forensic service — so whatever you bring, you'll be met with real understanding.

We all walk our individual paths, and throughout life, challenges arise that can leave us feeling disconnected, lost, ashamed and more. These difficulties shape who we are, how we interact with others and our reality. Through this, we may develop patterns of behaviour as a means of survival from traumatic experiences and suppressed emotions, these can limit our sense of self and expression.

Essentially, counselling and psychotherapy offers us an opportunity to learn about ourselves. And none more so than when faced with the emotional challenges that are often part of everyday life. At these times we may feel on our own, stuck and unsure of which way to turn. It may also be difficult to find someone we can trust and who will understand, or, in such a busy world, someone who has the time to listen. This is when a counsellor or a psychotherapist can help. I offer a calm, caring, safe, respectful and confidential space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or struggling to make sense of what you are going through? Perhaps you are carrying the weight of a demanding career, a relationship under strain, or a sense of not quite belonging. You may be an immigrant or from an East Asian background, quietly managing the pull between family expectations and your own needs. Or you may be navigating your identity as an LGBTQ+ person and simply want a space where you do not have to explain yourself. Whatever has brought you here, you want to be heard, properly, without judgement.

I offer open-ended psychotherapy for people facing difficulties like anxiety, depression and low mood. Some come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by feelings or because they’re finding it hard to sustain fulfilling relationships. For others, there is no specific problem, but a feeling of wanting life to be different somehow.

Does it feel like life should somehow be working better than this? Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, overwhelmed by stress or change, burnt out from holding everything together, or exhausted by trying so hard for things that still do not feel right. I work with people navigating anxiety, burnout, relationships, loss, life transitions, and neurodivergence, especially Autism, ADHD, and AuDHD. Together, we untangle what is happening, process difficult feelings, explore patterns and perspectives, and make practical changes to help life feel calmer, clearer, more meaningful, and more fully your own.

I have a specialist interest in high-achieving individuals who find themselves unhappy and burnt out, as well as adults adjusting to an ADHD diagnosis and people dealing with existential questions. I have previously worked at Maggie’s, an organisation supporting people with cancer and their loved ones, and the Nightingale Hospital in Marylebone.
