You've built a life for yourself, but something isn't quite adding up — and you're not sure whether it's your relationship, the past you haven't dealt with, anxiety around the future, or something you can't quite name.
You're high-functioning. You show up. But underneath, something is stuck — and you're tired of getting through it rather than actually changing it.
Maybe it's the patterns that keep repeating. The relationship hitting the same wall. The anxiety just beneath the surface. Whatever it is, if you're ready to stop managing and start changing, then I am the therapist for you.

I specialise in working with children, adolescents and adults with ADHD and other neurodiverse profiles who want to better understand how their mind works and move beyond overwhelm. Together we develop practical strategies that improve focus, organisation, confidence, academics, business, leadership, relationships and daily life.

I can provide support for depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-harm, bereavement, traumatic experiences, relationship difficulties, pregnancy, gender & sexuality, identity issues, performance anxiety, and career uncertainty. I currently work in private practice, having previously held a full-time position with the NHS. Prior to that, I worked as a psychotherapist at UCL.

I am an Integrative Transpersonal Psychotherapist, offering a safe, confidential, empathetic, and non-judgemental space for you to process and demystify your experiences. Know that you are held, listened to, understood, and supported. Integrative means that I draw from several modalities, namely, psychodynamic, humanistic, existential, and transpersonal. Hence, I do not have a 'one size fits all' approach. Instead, I meet you where you are, which is informed by a heart-centred, client led approach and will take aspects from a particular principle/s and apply appropriately in service to whatever your needs might be.

My approach is to invite you to talk about yourself, about your relationships present and past, about experiences that may have shaped your ways of being with others and dealing with frustrations and disappointments, about what gives you pleasure and makes life worthwhile. Together we will begin to see why things affect you as they do, how pressures build up and become unmanageable, and how a life without these difficulties might look.

HCPC accredited Counselling Psychologist offering support in-person and online.
Many of the people I work with appear outwardly capable, yet privately struggle with exhaustion, self-doubt and a sense of not being good enough. They are often very self-critical, hold themselves to high standards and feel a pressure to keep everything together, particularly within demanding roles and relationships.
Therapy doesn’t need to begin in crisis. Often it starts when something feels off, even though life might look okay from the outside.

Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in repetitive patterns - persistent stress or anxiety that does not respond to self-help strategies, recurring relationship difficulties, feelings of emptiness or lack of meaning, or a deep sense of not being ‘enough’.
I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences of life. My aim is to help you to start a journey of self-discovery and personal transformation that feels meaningful and sustainable.

You might look like you’re doing fine — you keep things together, show up for others, and push through. But inside, something feels off. Maybe you feel stuck, restless, or disconnected from yourself, unsure what’s next or why you can’t quite feel at ease.
Therapy with me is a space to slow down and reconnect with what’s really going on beneath the surface. We’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and the way your body holds tension and patterns from the past — not to stay there, but to help you release what no longer serves you and create space for something new.

I have been working in mental health since 2012 and I specialise in individuals who suffer from a wide range of complex and longstanding conditions, such as anxiety disorders, depression, personality disorders, alcohol/drug/gambling and other addictions, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), psychosis, burnout, vicarious trauma, and others. I have also treated people who have physical conditions (e.g., diabetes, chronic pain, obesity) comorbid with mental health conditions (e.g., depression, anxiety). I strive to provide all my clients with a non-judgmental, empathetic and compassionate approach.

I work with people who are having difficulties in relationships with others, which result in them having difficulties within themselves. Struggles in relationships with others may lead to internal feelings of frustration, disappointment, and confusion, leading to feeling anxious, depressed and hopeless. They are looking for a way of changing their experience but, having tried all the ways they can think of, they are feeling defeated.

My purpose is to guide and facilitate my clients toward an empowered, spiritually connected, and self-directed life. Individuals who are discouraged by, and feel powerless over their impulsivity and compulsions, battle against their own behaviors, emotions, and thoughts, and who have lost their connection to living in joy, are those I feel compassionately called to serve.

I offer CBT therapy sessions and counselling on a short-term or open-ended basis. My aim is to create a warm, supportive and empathic space where people can feel safe, be fully themselves and talk freely about their concerns without fear of being judged.

I believe we are all different and what is beneficial to us changes as we encounter challenges throughout life. You may suffer from emotional problems including anxiety and depression, low self worth or relationship issues, struggle with bereavement or a life transition, eating disorders, panic, anger or traumatic experiences. Your goals may include alleviating symptoms of your distress, increasing self-awareness, better coping skills, exploring past experiences or developing emotional resilience. Whatever challenge brings you to therapy, you would like things to be different going forward.
