About me
Come and see me to understand what is happening for you, whether you are in crisis, feeling numb, grieving, or confused. I specialise in working with people experiencing the impact of childhood trauma, anxiety, workplace stress/burnout, and grief. Your emotional distress might be spilling into your relationships and jobs, and you need a space to talk.
Working together, we will consider your feelings, thoughts, and actions, recognise unhelpful patterns, and become more aware of your needs and how to address them.
ASD and Trauma
I have experience working with clients with ADHD, Autism and other neurodiversity. I also have experience working with clients who have experienced childhood trauma.
How long will it take to get some relief?
I have helped clients with complex issues understand their patterns and explore options for living with less discomfort now and in the future. Most clients start to see improvement within months.
What's it like to work with me?
I'm a relational and integrative psychotherapist, which means I tailor my approach to your specific needs and concerns rather than expecting you to fit into a single theoretical modality. I believe that the power of psychotherapy lies in the relationship we create in the room together, as I sit alongside you as you explore your life.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process. We work together to explore what has brought you to therapy, whether that is your relationship patterns, issues you are facing at work, or a particular life transition you are facing.
We might look at how you may have developed patterns in your life and look at ways you can start to improve your confidence and self-esteem by strengthening your understanding of your own needs. I also work on developing clients' self-compassion, especially when they are experiencing shame and/or negative self-talk. These methods work on anxiety and depression as well.
For example, I have used nesting dolls to develop a deeper understanding of what has occurred in the client's life over their lifetime. The clients determine what time period each doll represents and add photos to each doll to give them a greater sense of connection to who they were at that time. It provides a really rich understanding of why the client has developed the patterns of relating they have and allows us to collaborate to decide how to address their issues.
To develop an understanding of the client’s needs, I work with the client to determine their values, from which their needs emerge. We then work on how the client can begin articulating their needs to those around them.
Book a call
You don't have to manage whatever you're feeling on your own. I offer a free 20-minute call to discuss how we might work together and decide whether to meet in person or online.
Where we can meet
I have rooms for in-person sessions in London Bridge, the City and North London. I am also available to do walk-and-talk therapy sessions in local parks in these locations. I am based in London, but I can provide online sessions for anyone based in the UK.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am an integrative relational therapist with a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and 2 months off from completing my Master's in Psychotherapy and Counselling at Regent's University London.
I am a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work in accordance with their Ethical Framework.
I am also a member of the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP).
I have completed placements at the Brent Bereavement Service, The Psychosynthesis Trust and One in Four and have worked with clients with diagnoses including EUPD, BPD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, Complex PTSD, ADHD and AuDHD.
I have completed training in embodying Trauma-Informed Practice when working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and the impact and legacy of peer-on-peer and sibling sexual abuse. I have also completed training in creative tools for therapy.
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.
