People come to therapy carrying feelings of loss, stuckness, uncertainty, or a lack of purpose. You might be navigating relationships, gender or sexual identity, sexual trauma, addiction, or wanting a safe place to explore aspects of kink or BDSM. At the heart of this work is the need to be truly seen and heard — not just listened to, but met with understanding and compassion. I offer a space where you can bring anything, knowing there will be no judgement and that you won’t be alone in it. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our work together will be collaborative and shaped by your unique experiences and needs.

Maybe you are trying to overcome big life events and everything has changed around you and you need some support? Perhaps you just don't know why you can't sleep, or why your tears surprise you and you want to know more? The good news is that Gestalt counselling can help.

Your life may look successful and beautiful on the outside, yet inside you may feel anxious, low or burnt out, caught in people-pleasing, especially around family, partners, your sexuality or identity. Perhaps you are coming out, or afraid of disappointing those you love. You may long to stop performing, quieten shame and feel more at home in yourself. Together we slow down, map your story and gently honour your uniqueness, reclaiming your needs, boundaries and desires so life feels steadier, kinder and more spacious. I offer a warm, confidential space in Harley Street and online to explore, feel understood & trust your way forward.

Is there something preventing you from doing what you want or from behaving in the way that you want? Taking the next step to speak about experiences, thoughts, feelings, and deeply held beliefs is a game changing, reviving experience. Emotional stress can get in the way of your life, job, relationships and your future. Whether its anger, sadness, grief or anxiety, feeling disconnected can also lead to physical stress on your body. It’s often a solitary existence. Please feel free to contact me for an initial no-obligation online chat.

We all experience challenges to our emotional wellbeing at times, it may be in response to work stress, becoming a parent, developing a long-term heath condition, entering perimenopause, or a multitude of other life experiences. This can be hugely destabilising, and it can feel hard to get support as it can often look to the external world that we are coping or that we have it all. I create a space to explore these experiences, help clients feel grounded, and working together we navigate the path towards their future self.

Each individual’s experience with mental health is both nuanced and unique to them, which is why applying general labels as a way to describe your difficulties can feel reductive. As a Counselling Psychologist, I integrate and tailor evidence-based psychological interventions, drawing knowledge from diverse schools of thought, to optimally create the most supportive approach to best suits your needs. Some of my main specialised interests include anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, phobias, cultural and identity-related concerns and personal development.
