About me

If you’re here, it’s likely because you’re experiencing pain that feels hard to articulate or confront. You might be dealing with anxiety, depression, have difficulty enforcing boundaries or ongoing relationship challenges that seem to follow a pattern. Perhaps you've noticed recurring behaviours or emotional reactions you can't seem to control or understand. These issues often stem from unresolved trauma, especially from childhood. Experiences from our past can leave deep emotional wounds, affecting how we relate to others and ourselves.
Therapy offers a safe and compassionate space to explore these underlying issues. As a trauma therapist in London, I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with the effects of unresolved childhood trauma, PTSD, and complex relationship patterns. We will explore the roots of your pain together, helping you understand why you feel and react the way you do. This process can be challenging because it involves confronting parts of yourself that may have been hidden or ignored for years. But it's also a process that can be incredibly healing and transformative.
My approach is built on honesty, compassion, and a commitment to helping you face the parts of yourself that feel most painful. This honesty is something you might not always receive from those around you, but it is given with the utmost care and empathy. The therapeutic process isn’t about judgment; it’s about creating a space where you feel safe enough to be completely honest, where you can express the feelings you’ve been carrying alone.
If you’re dealing with PTSD, unresolved childhood trauma, or deep-rooted shame, therapy can help you untangle these complex emotions. It offers a space where your pain is seen, your story is heard, and your experiences are validated. Together, we’ll work to understand the roots of your trauma, how it affects your current life, and develop new ways of coping that allow you to move forward with more peace and self-compassion.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
