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.

I work both individually and in groups with adults facing unhappiness, anxieties, addiction, stress, abuse, trauma, depressive feelings, relationship issues, sexual or existential struggles. I believe that psychoanalytic psychotherapy can help you unearth some of the root causes of these life issues and address the inner blocks preventing you from living a much more full and conscious life.

The loss avoidance game becomes a finite cycle, where the pursuit of pleasure "always" wins. Progress means change, rehearsing new ways of thinking or a range of strategies to iterate development safely. The result: a genuine approach for you to find a better way forward. My goal is to provide you with a strong mental platform and the skills to help you keep life within reach. HCPC-registered in clinical, counselling, health, and occupational psychology. Supervisor, I address all psychopathologies, providing services using eclectic CBT interventions (ACT, DBT, ST), the most effective and intuitive psychological framework.

Are you struggling to communicate with your partner? Feel like your partner doesn't understand you? Do you wish you could turn the clock back to happier times in your relationship? Many couples face difficulties in their relationship at some time or other, and this can often be a stressful experience, leaving one or both partners feeling hurt, lonely or rejected. Relationship counselling can help you re-connect with each other, reduce conflict in the relationship, and regain the closeness and intimacy you once had.

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.

Has sex become stressful? Perhaps you no longer experience sexual pleasure, or your desire has gone and it's causing difficulties in your relationship. Are you a man with erection problems and don't know where to get help?

I’m interested in what works. For you. So I take a pluralistic, integrative approach and don’t limit myself to one particular way of working. Whether you’re seeing me for counselling, schema-based therapy or psychosexual therapy, I'll tailor my approach to suit your needs. And it’s the relationship between you and I which will be central to the work. Because I’m not a friend, colleague or family member, you can think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable in a judgement-free space. You can rely on me to be honest with you, and bring into your awareness your blind spots, and things on the edge of your awareness you might missing.

When thinking about therapy, it might be difficult to know where to start or what to expect. From my experience, the best way is to have a face-to-face initial consultation. This will allow you to get a sense of whether you feel comfortable in sharing your feelings and thoughts with me. There is no obligation to continue after the first meeting. Usually, I allow 3-4 sessions before deciding on working together. If we both agree that therapy can be beneficial then we will have our agreement, including a regular weekly time slot and a fee.

Anxiety is a natural part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can stop you from doing what matters most—perhaps spending time with loved ones, trying new experiences, or simply feeling at ease. In an effort to cope, it's easy to fall into patterns that make anxiety worse, leaving you feeling stuck or isolated. You might build walls to protect yourself from disappointing others or feeling embarrassed, but those same walls can push people away, leaving you more disconnected. My approach is centered on creating a compassionate, safe space where we can explore the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are holding you back.
