About me
Sometimes life can be overwhelming. We get anxious or depressed, struggle with low self-esteem or find ourselves repeating the same self-defeating patterns in our relationships. Therapy can help. Whether you're seeking relief from a specific problem or struggling with the vague sense that something in your life just isn't right, I offer a safe and non-judgemental space where we can work through these issues.
I’m an integrative psychotherapist working across London and online. My job is to support you in overcoming whatever difficulties you might be experiencing.
You might find yourself stuck and repeating the same patterns in life, maybe you’re upset, angry, confused or overwhelmed and can’t figure out why. Perhaps you just feel like things could be better, that feeling that there’s something missing from your life but you don’t know what.
In therapy we can figure these things out.
We can explore how you feel, help you understand yourself more, reduce your distress and together think about how to live a more fulfilling life. I know how profoundly lonely, distressed and hopeless mental pain can make us feel, how difficult it can be to imagine a way through and to ask for help. This kind of suffering can have many sources, meanings, and express itself in different ways. I believe that therapy can help us to understand and overcome these issues and ultimately lead more meaningful lives.
My work is attachment-based and psychoanalytic. This means I understand the centrality of relationships, and recognise that many of our symptoms are caused by feelings and motivations that sit outside of our awareness. In therapy I will listen to your story without judgement or presumption, and provide a space where you can explore how you think and feel in safety. Over time we can make sense of these feelings, work through them and live better.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a BACP-registered integrative psychotherapist. I hold a post-graduate diploma in counselling & psychotherapy from the University of East London, and am currently undertaking a PhD at UCL alongside further training in attachment-based psychoanalysis. My research interest relates to trauma, attachment and how these interact with chronic health conditions.
I have specialist interest in working with people who suffer from chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and long-COVID. My approach to is to recognise that these are very real and serious illnesses, and that talk therapy can help sufferers to deal with the many challenges they present.
I also work regularly with people who struggle to form and maintain relationships they feel secure in, with people who experience anxiety, and individuals who battle with addictions and difficult feelings such as anger, shame, or hopelessness. Low mood, depression, and difficulties regulating your feelings may also be reasons you might want to work with me.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.

Additional information
I charge £85 per session. I have some reduced-fee, low, and no cost spaces available for trainee therapists, those looking to work more than once a week in a psychoanalysis, and people on low incomes.
Recognising that fees are a significant barrier stopping many from accessing therapy, I have set up and run a low-fee therapy service that offers high-quality counselling and psychotherapy at £30 per session. You can find out more about this at:
