About me
Do you find yourself repeating the same patterns in relationships, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety?
Perhaps you're used to putting everyone else's needs before your own, find it difficult to set boundaries, or spend a lot of time overthinking what you've said or done. You may be struggling in a relationship, dealing with family difficulties, or feeling disconnected from yourself and unsure how to move forward.
Sometimes we can understand that something isn't working, but still feel stuck in the same patterns. Therapy can offer a space to slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and begin to make different choices.
I'm an integrative psychotherapist working in private practice and at The Priory in Harley Street. I have 7 years' experience working across forensic and inpatient mental health settings, supporting people with a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties.
My approach is warm, compassionate and non-judgemental. I see therapy as a genuine human connection rather than simply a clinical process. You don't need to have everything figured out before you start, and you don't need to know exactly what you need help with.
Together, we'll explore what you're experiencing, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships. We can work towards feeling more confident, setting healthier boundaries, managing difficult emotions and creating meaningful change.
I have particular interest in relationship difficulties, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction and low-confidence.
I offer both online and face-to-face therapy from my therapy room in Arnos Grove, North London.
Taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. If you feel you recognise yourself in what I've described, you're very welcome to get in touch. We can have an initial conversation about what's bringing you to therapy and whether I might be the right person to support you.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a qualified therapist, trained at Regent's University London, with postgraduate training in existential psychotherapy. My approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, existential and humanistic therapies.
This means I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I work collaboratively with each person to understand what is bringing them to therapy, whether that is anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, feeling stuck, life changes, or simply a sense that something isn't quite right.
Through my professional experience, I have also developed skills in CBT and DBT, which can offer practical tools for managing difficult thoughts, emotions and patterns of behaviour when these are helpful.
My aim is to offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and able to explore what is really going on beneath the surface. We can work together at a pace that feels right for you, while developing greater understanding, self-awareness and practical ways forward.
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.
